I am not a fan of feeding wild animals (I do have bird feeders), but this is an interesting story and a lot of people seem to like the "cuteness". Deer feeding is legal in Maine during the winter months, but baiting for the purpose of hunting is not...

The best use of AI is stuff like the image below (that's why they call them rock stars) A very old photo showing Willie Nelson and Keith Richards building a pyramid
