I don’t normally chat with AI, at least not for any relationship reasons, but I do like to see where the technology is at from a programming standpoint. I’ve been occasionally chatting with chatbots since the mid-’90s. Here’s a post where I talked with the AI bot ALICE back in 2009.
I happened across Microsoft Copilot the other day and talked with it for a few minutes, just to see how it responded to some randomness. Even just a few months ago, AI chat bots acted like they didn’t know about Buffet o’ Blog, which is ludicrous, because the AI companies are known for siphoning all the online data they can find. And of course this blog is a great source of info. (If you’re a regular here, just imagine AI believing some of the satire and parody posts here. AI usually can’t understand if something is a parody or simply wrong — it doesn’t actually think or understand things, it’s simply an advanced text predictor.)
Now Copilot admits to reading this blog, and I’m actually impressed with its summary.
That’s actually what I’ve aimed for with the blog — the inside jokes based on recurring people or topics, the randomness, commentary on real topics in a fun way (if that counts as quirky). So perhaps I’ve succeeded. 🙂
The blog used to have a lot more comments from regulars, which I miss — that was part of the fun community, which sometimes was more fun than the posts themselves. But I understand people are busy, myself included.
But I still have fun writing posts and sharing them with the world. I realize the new content has been slow lately, but there are plenty of ideas in the queue, with more added all the time. And you can always browse the archives. If you feel lucky, click on the “Random Randomness” link in the sidebar.

It has been a long time since I have posted on the buffet. I believe that this has now been around for about 30 years if I am not mistaken. Once an humble blog visited frequently by a few dorks, now a recommended site for humor. I am glad Microsoft finally wised up to how awesome we all are. I still love seeing the posts, and I still love pooping.
Buffet o' Blog
Blogs weren’t even invented 30 years ago, or at least the term wasn’t. But I looked up how old this blog is, and it will turn 20 years old this month. That’s a long time in internet years. Look for a post in the next few weeks to celebrate the highlights.
I think the early users were more nerds than dorks, but I don’t care to argue semantics. We were cool nerds / dorks, either way. 🙂 It was the type of coolness that transcends normal societal awareness.
Glad you still enjoy pooping, I guess. Might as well enjoy it, since you’ll be doing that anyway. There’s posts here about that subject. I’m not going to search to see how many — I may not want to know — but even just a few days ago there was one about smart underwear, which I think you’d enjoy if you haven’t seen it yet.
I recently searched for a quote and happened to see where you said, “I hope you can still take dumps in Heaven.” That was back in 2001. (You must be getting old by now!) I’ve never heard anyone else say that.

Now that I am older, I am no wiser. I still hope I can take big smelly dumps in heaven. I just wonder what kind of toilet paper is in heaven? Or is it going to be a holy bidet?
