It's all very worrying, isn't it?

It's all very worrying.

How do you know that I'm not AI?

Well, it's too messy to be AI.

Keep it live-ish and messy-ish.

Because AI always tries to clean up things.

You know, even when I ask ChatGPT to transcribe something, it gives me back their version of it.

And I have to say, no, exactly as it was written, please.

Thank you very much.

I do marvel at the fact that it can read my handwriting, which is deplorable.

But yeah, there's AI.

Well, AI will never be able to create a voice as wonderful as that of Moira Brennan, who died last night, aged 73.

Our thoughts are with her family and the extended community up there in Donegal.

I spoke to her briefly back in 2020.

She was on the phone and there was a documentary about Baud Eddy.

And Boad Eddie was a fishing boat that came from Brittany and it was stranded up on Inish Man and then they brought it in and it's up there.

And at the time, I don't know what has happened since, they were trying to get a replica built

which would be, I suppose, a sculptor, which was out there and it would be visible when the tide was in and when the tide was out.

And if you're a fan of U2 and a fan of Clonid, you will know about Boy Daddy because it was featured in the brilliant video for In A Lifetime.

Isn't that a wonderful voice?
