Paragraphs and Text Styles

This is a standard paragraph. It can contain bold text, italic text, and inline code. You can also create links to other websites.

When you have to write a paragraph but you don’t want to use lorem ipsum, for such a lifeless text is an insult to reader’s intelligence - all you need to do is summon PG Wodehouse and imagine how Jeeves would explain AI to Wooster. Here is my take - “One might think of it, sir, as an attempt to bottle my services, but with the most vital ingredients left out. This ‘AI’ can retrieve information with the speed of a startled gazelle and construct a plan with terrifying logic, yet it lacks the critical faculty of, shall we say, judgement. It could devise a dozen ways to extricate you from a locked room, but would be utterly flummoxed if asked to tactfully dissuade your Aunt Agatha from wearing her new hat.”

Blockquotes

Blockquotes are useful for highlighting sections of text. We can invoke someone more serious than Wodehouse, Mr Salinger.

I’m not afraid to compete. It’s just the opposite. Don’t you see that? I’m afraid I will compete — that’s what scares me. That’s why I quit the Theatre Department. Just because I’m so horribly conditioned to accept everybody else’s values, and just because I like applause and people to rave about me, doesn’t make it right. I’m ashamed of it. I’m sick of it. I’m sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody. I’m sick of myself and everybody else that wants to make some kind of a splash

– J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey

Shortcodes

We’ve included some useful shortcodes to enhance your content. When I say “We”, it is I and my good friend Gemini Code Assist

Figure

Use the figure shortcode for images with captions. It generates responsive images.

This image is generated with ChatGPT.

Callout

Use the callout shortcode to draw attention to important information. If you want the prompt I used for generating this image, here you go.
