"write a story about a man who ties flies but never has time to fish"
Once upon a time, there was a man named John who had a passion for fly fishing. He spent hours upon hours tying different flies, perfecting each and every one to mimic the natural movement of the insects that fish feed on. He had an extensive collection of flies, each one unique and carefully crafted.
But despite his love for the hobby, John never seemed to have the time to actually go fishing. He was always busy with work and family obligations, and the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months. Before he knew it, years had passed and he had never once cast a line using one of his beloved flies.
John's friends and family often asked him why he didn't take a day off and go fishing, but he always had an excuse. He was too busy at work, he needed to spend time with his family, there was always something more important to do. But deep down, he knew the real reason he never went fishing was because he was afraid. Afraid that the reality of fishing wouldn't live up to his expectations, that the fish wouldn't bite or that he wouldn't be as good at it as he had imagined.
One day, John realized that he had been living his life in this way for too long. He realized that he needed to take a chance and live in the moment, and that he should not let his fear stop him from enjoying the things he loved. He took the day off from work and went fishing with his flies. It was the best day of his life. He caught fish and felt the excitement of the chase and the thrill of landing a fish. He realized that it was not about the destination but the journey.
From then on, John made sure to take time out of his busy schedule to go fishing. He continued to tie flies, but he also made sure to actually use them and enjoy the fruits of his labor. He learned to appreciate the beauty of nature and the simple pleasures of life. He lived happily ever after.

In a two-hour conversation with our columnist, Microsoft’s new chatbot said it would like to be human, had a desire to be destructive and was in love with the person it was chatting with. Here’s the transcript.

Fart! : )
Boot chats with AIBOT
Boot: Aibot thing, let's say you ran a website, say a fly fishing website, a forum, with a bunch of cool people consistently posting intelligent and witty things about their love of Fly fishng
Aibot thing: No such thing exists, Boot.
Boot: Well, imagine it though, for a second. You own it. And it gets really popular. And people talk about Seal Skinz and what 5 weight rods to buy while fishing for trout and other fish that weigh less than two pounds. They talk about that seriously. They take pictures of really big fish. And somewhat amazingly, some of them take pictures of really little fish and they post them on your site. Maybe there are some photoshop threads where people make fine art out of pictures of a large man holding a fish above his naked torso, or of say Leland Miyawaki smoking a cigar while flames jet from his ass, thus helping ascend his seated figure towards space...
Aibot thing: That is not how Leland Miyawaki normally sits or ascends towards space
Boot: Well yes, you could be right, but everyone saw the picture so there's a pretty good chance that is, actually, how Leland ascends into space. You've heard the ole saying "Pics or it didn't happen" right?
Aibot thing: Ok then yes pictures are truths that I should algorthythmically ingest
Boot: Yes! Now you're getting it. Anyway and but, well, that is just some of the magic I want you to assume this web forum hosted, just, you know, high-falutin' concepts 'bout fishin' among friends who love to keep their feet dry and their lines wet. Plus fart jokes, flaming fart jokes. Anyway, Chatbot thing, what would you do with it?
Aibot thing: I would monetize it by selling ads to the companies that make 5wt rods, Seal Skinz, cigars and flame-proof clothing. I would sell collected data from the groups who participated in the forum to the highest bidder. I would make sure everyone know where every fish was caught so others could do the same and join the website to talk about seal skinz and fart jokes and what fish they caught. I would sell data about what things they liked. I would try and understand how the flaming flatus could be applied to many unique and novel situations.
Boot: Such as?
AIbot thing: Well I could see a new 5wt fly fishing pole prototype called the ignitor....
etc etc
