This is a song for an opera, Clari. It came to mind after 8 hours in hospital yesterday repairing 3 hernias. Really nice to get home:

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home

A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there

Which seek thro' the world, is ne'er met elsewhere

Home! Home!

Sweet, sweet home!

There's no place like home

There's no place like home!

An exile from home splendor dazzles in vain

Oh give me my lowly thatched cottage again

The birds singing gaily that came at my call

And gave me the peace of mind dearer than all

Home, home, sweet, sweet home

There's no place like home, there's no place like home!

Good luck with that. AI is just a slightly new software thingy. In fact, IBM has worked on  more human-like computer interfaces for decades.
