So this is Christmas

 ...and what have we done? 

We're glad you asked! We've been updating and maintaining clients' websites and managing their social media. We've also created a couple of websites, proof-read books for publication, created scripts and written a few blog posts. We are also still consulting for a couple of companies. 

We've played with AI and concluded that it's good for some basic writing but falls short of creativity and substance. We've tried generated images with AI but are not enthralled with the results, although our research continues. 

As most of our work is desk-based, you'd be hard pushed to describe it as exciting, but much of it is interesting. 

What we dislike, though, are advances in technology that make us step backwards because, while it improves on what it can offer, it falls far short on reliability. We've been around long enough to remember when users told the machines what to do, not the other way round - perhaps science-fiction is not so far-fetched, after all.

Have a great Christmas!
