I've yet to try Grok. That JAWS software you've been using to navigate websites must have to move with the times and implement some AI functionality...

I haven't been back testing that, it was very strange experience tho!

I was using ChatGPT to assist in converting my novel, Alpha Two, to a screenplay but then realised Microsoft copilot seemed to do a better job. I pasted segments at a time, then edit in Word. It's assisting in me sticking to industry standard and really is speeding up the conversion rather than me typing everything fresh.

I was hoping I could paste or upload an entire chapter and hey presto! - the screenplay would be generated, but it's not up to it.

After a time you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all, as wanting.

I can't believe he's only about 35 there. He looks about 50. Some people are like that. Look old when they are young, but then stay the same for the rest of their life There are a few like that. John Hurt--always looked old and sick. Moran Freeman--he's always looked old but still looks good.

Shatner's speaking voice has changed from his younger days but they both had beautiful speaking voices (horrendous singing voices ) Beautiful male speaking voices seem to be extinct. The new 'Kirk', Chris Pine, has a horrible high pitched voice. I can't think of a younger male actor with a nice voice. They all seem to have harsh, high-pitched, unmanly voices.
Richard Burton had a voice to die for.

One of my favourites was Christopher Lee, and in the Wicker Man he proved he could sing, too. I could listen to him all day, given half a chance. Perhaps Alan Rickman was the last of the greats.

I've often wondered if all these great voices of the past were due to the fact that everyone used to smoke in the old days.

Yes, I was thinking that too. Smoking and drinking Now they are all vegans who only do 'healthy' cocaine.
