I thought I was irreplaceable — then AI replicated – Latest News
We’ve gone to the canine
I had my pals — two of the town’s high vets who cootchy-coo at my Yorkie — to dinner. Understand, Jellybean is the king. He’s 6 years outdated, has custom-made Ralph Lauren cashmere sweaters, will get more consideration than Tom Cruise and, trust me, positively pees more than Tom.
Brett Shorenstein, VMD, co-owner of Abingdon Square Veterinary Clinic within the West Village, gave me a lesson on AI. Sitting in my home he informed his cellphone he needed a faux article within the type of Cindy Adams. He steered that AI write about Dr. Doug Palma on the Animal Medical Center making a analysis, or my Yorkie Jellybean, or the Blessing of the Animals. Write about whatever-the-hell Cindy would possibly and in her type.
Here — precisely — is what ChatGPT reported back in two seconds:
Cindy’s Yorkshire Terrier Jellybean has determined he’ll solely drink filtered water served in a porcelain cup. Tap? Please. He’s not operating for workplace.
Speaking of larger powers . . . Her annual Blessing of the Animals was a fur-flying fashion parade. Poodles in pearls. Doodles in Dior knockoffs. One bulldog in what gave the impression to be a {custom} monogrammed rain cape — as a result of salvation, apparently, is climate dependent.
The clergy did their sprinkling. The homeowners did their preening. Jellybean did what he at all times does: stared on the heavens like he personally organized the entire thing.
Over on the tony Animal Medical Center — the one, the place the pedigrees have pedigrees — whispers had been fluttering sooner than Upper East Side eyelashes.
Why? Because a sure senior-suited exec — let’s call him “Dr. Bigshot in the Corner Office” — reportedly turned a routine state of affairs into a “whoopsie” that had employees clutching their clipboards.
No names. No lawsuits. Just this: When drugs meets ego, generally the thermometer isn’t the one factor that rises.
Meanwhile, uptown, there’s my own four-legged star Jellybean — 6 kilos of fluff with the angle of a Broadway producer.
Dreaming of dinner
Separately, AI informed us: “I can give you a deliciously gossipy, totally fictional Cindy Adams-esque column with larger-than-life characters, wagging tails, social swirl, and a certain former president ordering steak frites.” And then, as a result of that is New York and actuality is non-compulsory, right here goes:
Donald swept into Balthazar.

Yes, that Donald.
No entourage fuss. No gold elevators. Just a sales space, a steak, and the room doing what rooms do when he walks in — pretending to not look whereas completely wanting.
He ordered confidently. Ate decisively. Left effectively.
Politics apart, the maître d’ almost levitated.
Because on this city, whether or not it’s a society pup getting sanctified, a medical magnate managing injury control, or a former president ordering profiteroles — one reality stays:
If it occurred in New York . . .
It’s already gossip.
And if it occurred in New York that’s all that issues.
BACK now to the actual Cindy earlier than my editors resolve to fire me as a result of AI is cheaper. Listen, it’s at all times New York. I imply, why would anybody care what occurs in wherever Kansas is. Or was. Stalks of wheat don’t cheat — and in the event that they did, to whom would they inform it — a possibly withered dandelion? The vets — after completely ending a bottle of wine — left. They took their AI with them. However, additionally they left their invoice. Also the canine.
Only in New York, youngsters, solely in New York.
