We can dream -- AI can only lie. We can make mental space jumps into domains never visited before, AI can do statistical evaluations. Neither of "us" can predict the future to any useful extent. Man, however, can listen to their inner emotions. Sometimes that sets wheels in motion.   
My 2 cent on that: LLM are tools to evaluate, summarize and paraphrase our current knowledge as far as it is accesible to them, such as hammers are tools to crush or fixate   ... tools ... not lies ....   As soon as electronic sensing and deduction processes become embodied and start to collect their own "life experience" they will start to become our peers and we will have another form of very different self aware consciousness.     The problem I see here is that the current commercial applications for these are: War, Sex, Shopping, Waste collection ... Imagine your own development was based on these fields of experience only ...   Love. Frank.

Ah Colin, I see your point.  However it is a five test series and the Brits don't give in easily...

There's an Ashes joke waiting to escape there, but most Englishmen will be too busy sobbing into their lukewarm beer.... :'(

Out of interest John, are there any particular more recent ones where you've had the opposite experience?
Not really, I mentioned these camera's as they work always without a problem. Older camera's like the Nikon D1x and Fuji S2 and S3 need always to be checked with it's specific batteries and storage methods.

... it always works ! 
The same applies for other older Nikon camera's  like the D2x, D3, D800E and D700.
