Was I wrong to be so bullish about AI? | Brief letters
We are currently hearing a lot about AI (This gung-ho government says we have nothing to fear from AI. Are you scared yet?, 31 March). As a former dairy farmer, I thought the AI man was the chap who visited on request to artificially inseminate our cows to get them in calf. With the current use of the initials meaning something rather different, I now wonder what he was actually doing.

It would perhaps assist Gerald Wells (Letters, 31 March) if so-called stately homes were given the more illuminative description of mansions of exploitation.

How many of the enthusiasts for e-scooters to reduce car use will eventually realise that even a late running, poorly maintained and crowded bus is still a lot better at keeping the rain off (E-scooters: a tale of two cities as London and Paris plot different paths, 31 March)?
