Chatbot: Try drinking water. What do you mean by “trouble concentrating”? Me: I don’t know. I can't explain it. Please search your database for clues. I should be doing some work this afternoon. But my mind is elsewhere, in the clouds, in the sea, in the trees and the wind and the birds and the fair sex. I feel so much powerful emotion that cannot be explained or put into words and have nowhere to put this energy. Chatbot: If this intensity is unusual for you, speak with a doctor.
