Yep...a sad loss.
I also liked his character in "Field of Dreams".
...
I met him at a party once.
I told him how much I loved his voice.
He leaned over and whispered, "it doesn't always work, ya know"

I got a pic here someplace.

Too bad he got his head chopped off by Conan, but his character deserved it.

This is one of the things about AI.......they distort or more accurately mimic reality.

I'm at the point I don't trust anything anymore.  I don't know how much deeper in the hole I can go.

It's like counterfeit money.
A picture used to be worth a thousand words.
Nowadays a picture ain't worth a pile of dawg poop.
