Thank you for linking my piece about the dumb AI sandwich above, my friend, and I am currently hoping that I made my distaste for the use of AI, *especially* to replace real human writers, plain enough in it.

Not gonna lie, though, that sandwich was killer.

I 100% believe that the food was good. Part of me wonders if that's a fluke, you know? WHATEVER ROBOTS GO AWAYYY

"These three are the alpha, the omega, and the diarrhea, and no detail would be missed by them during my battle against an AI-generated image." - This may be the greatest sentence you've ever written, meaning it is the greatest sentence ever constructed by any person ever.

Also, I'm quite surprised you didn't shove that artichoke spinach popsicle up your ass. So disappointing.

Oh, he did, I’m sure. At this point, he doesn’t have to tell us that he did, it’s just known.

Boy, those Star Wars popsicles are awfully...um...priapic...?

Could this be an idea for a future newsletter? Guarantee AI would NEVER come up with something like THAT.

This made me think of Mama Stamberg. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend. It's truly delicious and would make for a pretty rad popsicle. https://www.npr.org/2006/11/23/4176014/mama-stambergs-cranberry-relish-recipe

P.S. I've been meaning to say, food is like A.I. Neither stupid nor smart. But, you probably knew that, right?

Wait! I, currently writing on Meal Planning, think this is an interesting concept. Pointedly I wonder if young people might get a serving of veges down before they catch on. I think its worth a try. I mean if it's icy-cold, who could taste it? And, it'd be in their esophagus before they bothered to check what kind of popsicle I said it was! I'm goin' for it!

You know, for processed kids' meals and drinks, manufacturers sometimes add pureed carrots and other somewhat neutral veggies to help supplement their diets. I bet in a popsicle it'd be brilliant.

I apologize for telling you to fuck off when I saw the title of this piece. This was a truly noble cause, and I thank you for it.

Lucas Enterprises needs to knight you for obscene services to merch. Or hire you to cater their next short-lived VIP experience. Arise Sir Dannis Ree, the greatest food writer in history.
