Laugh It Off

While some people think that messing around with Siri, Alexa, or any other automated chatbot is silly, what they don't know is how beneficial it is to laugh!

Experts at the Mayo Clinic say, "When you start to laugh, it doesn't just lighten your load mentally, it actually induces physical changes in your body."

So while it might seem dumb or useless to mess around with the AI on many smartphones and computers, it has some real benefits. Are you ready to smile wide and laugh lots?
