    Yes. Have you? I'm not guessing that they aren't working on this aspect or that chatbots won't be able to do it in the futute. It just seems that we do have an advantage for now.

    This seems to be a Shenzhen ahem "fair-use" of Escura's much better looking (imho) 2025 camera. That was more obviously a self-referential "joke" on these disposables that you refe…
