So, what now, she asked herself?

As we all know, Lucy had kept up with the latest technological advances. Especially the latest fad. AI.

She used it in every way imaginable to keep abreast of all the latest thinking on all topics meaningful to her.

She was especially reliant on, and owned, chatGPT, as well as Grok-3.

She was also one of the very few of the brightest people who were given access to the Beta test version of "SwiftAnswers".

She sat there in her car, wondering how to phrase a question to each of those AI tools, to perhaps determine what her next course of action should be.

chatGPT and Grok-3 didn't provide any meaningful responses. Just a bunch of vague info that she could have dug up from her own Google-like web searches.

On the other hand, "SwiftAnswers" was in stage-3 of Beta testing their latest whiz-bang feature ... foretelling the future. Lucy thought this would be a good test, so she meticulously documented each step of the process so she could feed back the success (or failure) of the challenge she was facing.

"SwiftAnswers" had proven to be quite accurate in her prior accesses to the future feature. It even knew how long it would be before her all-electric car would run out of juice during California's recent fires and flooding, which was quite a feat when there were so many weather reporting services. All of them had been wrong (as usual).

So, she gathered her thoughts together and asked "SwiftAnswers" what would happen under each scenario for which she dreamed up queries. She wanted to rectify the decades old issues between Lucy and good-ol-mom. Mom didn't have many days left, she surmised.
