Giving up on the AI chatbot tutorial (for now)

I'm a big fan of learning in public, and early last year I started trying to do that by writing an AI chatbot tutorial as I learned the technology myself. But somehow it just wasn't working -- perhaps because my understanding was evolving so quickly that each time I sat down to write, I spotted dozens of errors in the previous posts, and felt I should fix those first. So I've decided to give up on that one, at least for now.

So, back to something a bit more achievable! Some lab notes will be coming on things I've been working on, including -- later on this evening -- a post about an oddity I found the other day.

In the meantime, here's a blog post I did for PythonAnywhere late last year: Five steps to create your own PythonAnywhere AI guru, on PythonAnywhere.
