Remember Sign-on, writing your programs for you?
It did generate what I call "skeleton" interactive programs, but start doing mods and break the mold and fuggetaboutit!

AI is not inventive. Remember the programs they did that found out that guys were buyring beer plus pampers in one trip?

I hate AI, mostly the hype. And the potential for abuse, a bigger discussion.

I think it will be a PIA not having it.
But do you think that things/discussions like this are what give our system
the reputation for being a 'legacy platform' , ' an outdated technology
from the 1980s that somehow still exists'.
Do you know of any one working on this platform that is not approaching
retirement?
I got those quotes from AI.

I was wondering the same thing myself - why can't they just leave it
there, unsupported?

I don't see why they just can't leave it there and just not support it.

Maybe get an older machine with an older release for such cases?
