If the whole covid think doesn’t implode and we visit my parents for vacation, my mom expects me to teach her, she made that clear when they visited earlier this month.
I’m the worst kind of grifter, turning to my family because I don’t have other possible victims to introduce to Go (I tried a friend, he fled).

I only teached one of my brother who quickly gave up as I was reading books and not him.
So nice you got interest from your mom, my parents never wanted to hear just what is go (besides a waste of your life)

There is remember button on https://play.aidungeon.io/ , I copied Wikipedia article about Go here.
That is what bot from OpenAI generated after several tries:
You know you are a Go addict when:

- You find yourself looking at the same board over and over again.
- Your friends have stopped inviting you to their games.
- You have started referring to “that board” instead of the actual person sitting beside you.
- Your eyes have become so used to the black and white that you can only see in shades of grey.
- You find yourself dreaming about the board.
- You feel a strange detachment while you are playing, as if you are watching yourself play rather than acting.
- You have developed a ritual before every game.
- You get a rush while you are winning.

An interesting exercise even though most of these are pitifully obvious, unoriginal, and humorless. The only one that I thought had a semblance of creativity was about “seeing in shades of grey.”

Some are pure nonsense. Some are obvious for no matter what kind of addiction.
AI didn’t get much about Go. 
But the climax in the end is so good!

That isn’t extremely late. I go to sleep at around 10:30, and I’m pretty young.
