Yes, it's not quite the same without him and his distinctive avatar. He just couldn't help pushing buttons

Indeed. If I remember rightly, I put his avatar through Grok for a description.

I asked the google AI and it said this: Grok would describe Brian as a creature that is both familiar and strange, with a voice that is deep and articulate, a personality that is intelligent but also vain, and a body that is a medium-sized dog, though one that walks upright and wears clothes. He would likely emphasize his intelligence and his role as a writer and intellectual, but also his more "dog-like" tendencies to chase things and his sometimes overly confident and vain demeanor, all while stressing his unique ability to speak and interact like a human.

Are we going to do tea leaves, chicken entrails, astrology, etc, too?

No, it's AI image description, which is pretty useful, I've found, though I always remember to take it with a pinch of salt.

Exactly what use is fake intelligence putting out a pile of meaningless words? I do not see any, but you obviously can teach me.
I make a habit of reading images, yet the words your so called AI uses, I have not found in any image or photo in my whole life.

Well, being blind, you see, I can't just look at images to see them. Things like Grok are actually pretty good, whenever I've checked them against what real people say.

Blind or not, you should now better than most, there is no life support system which can do the work of another. I cannot see with my ears, smell with my eyes, move things with my mind. etc.
Aristotle put Plato's observation about this like this, any loss of sense, is a corresponding loss of knowledge which cannot be acquired.

What are you on about? I've already said that I always take what they say with a pinch of salt.

The amount of salt you use on something that does not exist does not change its taste.

AI does exist, and can give a reasonable description.

Do you know what the word reason means? You are very undiscerning in your thinking.

Hate to burst your bubble there’s nothing in those imaged photos either, you may as well be reading a blank whiteboard.

I know you think so. That cannot be disputed. You like flattering yourself as most people do. But, philosophy is about using words in accordance with the truth of things. If you do not what the truth of things, you want to be flattered, but that is not my department.
