I have a modern Bendix assembly on my '31. I think it makes removal of the starter motor a bit more difficult because of the wider end. I find dropping the water inlet fitting off the block helps.
 
I also have the modern Bendix and yes, it does make removing the starter more difficult. I have found a way to rotate it to get it out and in without having to remove the coolant outlet fitting.
 
Back to AI. I may be wrong in what I said earlier. The link that John posted in Post #22 is important for everyone to read. Two of my kids are working in the AI field. They are forced to use it to stay competitive in their fields, and the other 2 kids may have to pick it up soon. I have been reluctant to try it but will attempt to use it in the near future.
 
I hope more people will think about using AI not just to answer questions but to create things. I use AI as an assistant to help me organize source material for our club newsletter. I've also used it to create maps that show which of our members live near each other, so we can plan outings that more of them are likely to attend.
 
Some excellent input here. AI is a great tool.

Copilot is Microsoft's, based on OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT. Many people are using Anthropic's Claude, although I have not tried it, yet. I would stay away from Grok.

As many have said, answers are based on whatever information is out there on line. If there is something that is not on line already, it won't be included in the answer. It can't do original research, but can be a great time saver for researching and analyzing that research. It can be a creative tool, too, although I have other tried that, either.
 
Thanks for the interesting replies to this post. I hope the input has influenced those who have never used AI to give it a shot.

Ask it anything you want on any subject. If you're an expert in some field, try to see if it can match your specialized knowledge. Try to fool it. But be careful, it will compliment your expertise and load praises on you. It will tell you what a smart guy/gal you are and it ends each session asking if it can give you further info on the subject you've asked it. It is set up to make you want to come back again.

It seems to put everything in a conversational form rather than spitting out dry data. You will be embarrased when you feel you want to say "thank you" as you end the session, forgetting you are only communicating with a machine.

Have fun with it.

John in Illinois - Just read the article you linked to. Holy smokes!
It reminded me of “Dinner At Eight” with sex bomb Jean Harlow whose character says to an old matron that she is reading a “nutty” book about how machinery will take over every profession. “…Oh my dear,” Carlotta replies, “that's something you need never worry about!”
 
I think of AI as an advanced search engine, nothing more. Maybe in the future it will have intelligence, but not now. Google uses AI big time
 
This amazes me. Here we are working with 100 year old cars, yet we are talking about AI and how it could or could not help us.

How could you possibly explain computers, youtube, or AI, to someone back when these cars first came out.
