Dear Doubting Reader,
Word Play! – your favorite news-free newsletter – is here again, after a month-long vacation. Since it’s a monthly publication, though, you probably didn’t even notice.
I’ve run into a few doubters lately, who question the future of humble crackpot scribes like yours truly, since Artificial Intelligence has now (they think) replaced us. If you’re one of those doubters, this edition is for you! And by the way, I thought I’d write this one myself, rather than turning the duty over to a robot monkey.
