Bummer – it wasn’t Taco Time in Demolition Man. Taco Bell was then changed to Pizza Hut for name recognition. My wife worked in Seattle area for quite a few years and loved Taco Time. They are not anywhere near us in Minneapolis. I was going to suggest that she watch the movie.

100% AI, not improbable. I once assigned a writing assignment and out of 35 students, all but 3 had plagiarized the paper. I used Google when they only accepted 10 words at a time so I googled the first 10 words and that caught most of the plagiarized works. If I didn’t get a hit, I googled the next 10 words. I graded one paper an A+ because it was excellent and Google didn’t bring his paper up. I caught him because another student had plagiarized the same article. He had me fooled at first because he did a good job of putting in enough grammar and spelling mistakes,
I uninstalled Grammarly. I wrote Iwon’t and Grammarly corrected it to say I willn’t.
Or we could get to the point of Blaine the Monorail in Stephen King’s Dark Tower or HAL.
