That's robots @ViewAhead and Isaac Asimov warned us about those thinking they knew better than us what humans need. AI is a step beyond that and, as it has no "body", can go unperceived.

Recommend a small-ish evergreen shrub that is nice to sit with
We have an Escallonia Pink Elle which is a reliable flowerer and looks good all the time. Also had one in a previous garden in a large pot and that seemed to suit it too.

Latest Moan From You and Me 2025
I have similar problems with some of the applications I have to use for work. I end up typing in another application e.g. Notepad and then copying/pasting it.
