@whippletom A genuine problem for authors, too. I think this is what has (possibly) sunk GRR Martin. You keep on adding stuff in until the point where you have no way of providing a satisfactory conclusion. PG Wodehouse was rather good at the dramatic disentanglements, though.
@RestIsPolitics@campbellclaret@RoryStewartUK On AI - thanks for the great reflections. You mentioned deepfake in passing. I think this is significant. For decades, images and video have been definitive in proving guilt. Now anyone can say ‘it’s just AI’. Trump’s Obama arrest video is to reinforce this, not (just) to troll.
@RachCarrell I suppose it depends on your time frame for "usual", though - certainly in the context of the last millennium, I accept call volumes are high.
