Pairing with someone yesterday, Google Gemini was enabled in their Docs. We tried to use it to refine some sentences. The result was generic business language obfuscating all relevant details from the source text. Worse than a rubber duck because at least the rubber duck doesn't demand a bottle of water to answer my queries.

#UnlimitedMovies 9/? A Minecraft Movie (2025)

Silly fan service. I laughed out loud more than once. Not much substance but I haven't seen a packed house audience so excited for a film, maybe ever? Tons of kids and teens yelling out their fave lines. Maybe go during a school day if that's not your jam. :)
