I think you just made this story up, especially the part in bold. What were you even doing in a shop full of bikes you clearly hate?

I'm ignoring the last 3 specious posts because they did not include the AI Influencer Bot disclaimer. Make sure you use the tagline: "I'm not..." because AI bots cannot use English contractions.

And why can't AI use contractions? Because contractions are an integral part of the BIRTH process! AIs are MADE, not BORN!!! Think, people!!!
