πŸ€– AI Corner β€” one plain-English AI thing, every issue

Today: how to spot an AI fake in 10 seconds.

Look at the hands and the text. AI images still mangle fingers and any words on signs, menus, or shirts. On posts, check the account β€” no history, no neighbors in the comments, big claims? Slow down before you share. That pause is the whole trick.

Tomorrow: the 10-second test for AI voices on the phone. Reply with your AI questions β€” they shape this slot.
