It was procedure when tech support was needed on the SL2100 to log into their support site, create a ticket, upload customer data base along with question regarding the trouble. You would wait for the replay which normally didn't take long. Yesterday 1/3/24 I had a issue so I got on their tech support site and was greeted with please summit question before opening a ticket and I thought here we go I'm going to summit the question and have to wait for the tech to respond, well I summited my question and boom seconds later I had a reply which led me to another question and boom seconds later I had my 2nd answer. This morning 1/4/24 I had a 3rd question and had my answer seconds later.
Welcome to AI folks. I like the fast answers but I know people are going to lose jobs, that I don't like!

Ever read the Isaac Asimov short story the last engineer?

I can't find this Asimov book...

The Last Engineer may be in reference to a character in Prometheus (2012) was a Ridley Scott film based on a script by Jon Spaihts titled "Alien: Engineers"

"The Last Question" is a 1956 short story by Isaac Asimov.

I am not sure the intent of the original question.

I found an audio of The Last Question online and listened to the half hour story.

Not sure if that was the intended story the OP referenced, but it was interesting. Like any of Asimov's stories.

No it was a short story where the only person still considered to be a engineer was called in after the supercomputer that ran the planet had a problem and detailed how he stuffed it up!

Edited to say... I used to have a 500+ book library of Sci Fi but my ex wife got to keep that about 35 years ago so I can't go find the story now!

Sounds like it has similarities to "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by R Heinlein. That was a book I really enjoyed!

Keep thinking R4+Z. I'm hooked now and can't seem to find it yet.

Any more clues?

Yoda,

AI look up came up with this for you...:P

lol

Ha! Someone had too much time on their hands.
