Thanks so much, Francis! I'm so glad you found it useful.

I completely agree that no one is anywhere near AGI at the moment. I personally don't believe anyone will get anywhere close in this century, but your intelligent AI companion sounds super interesting!

Have you read Iain M. Banks' "Culture" novels? The AI "Minds" he describe are what give me hope for the future amidst all the fear and ignorance.

All the best, and thanks again for your encouragement!
