A convex barrier may provide a more secure and predictable seal between your pouching system and your skin, which can help prevent stoma fluid leakage.

Is it just me or have most of the comments on this post been replaced with the word "correct"?
Is AI fact checking again?! 🤔

None of us did; it's not just this post either, as I have seen the same thing happen on other threads. A glitch in the matrix, big brother watching, AI getting it wrong again, who knows?! - That artificial stuff isn't that intelligent! 😅
This is what I posted below (let's see if it changes to "correct") 🤔
Edited: I see the "correct" malfunction has been "corrected" - all back to normal! 🤭

I don't think they ever should have started AI anywhere. I personally can't stand it

Totally agree, I was made redundant because of it (medical audio-typist) thanks to voice recognition AI - fortunately I knew the day was coming years ago so squirrelled away sufficient funds and was not too far from retirement anyway - still stinks because I was good at my job and still reckon I could do it better than any "bot" could (my spelling, punctuation, grammar and editing will always be better than a machine!)
Amendment:- Just noticed that the "correct" comments have been reinstated to what they originally were - still stand by my comments of the idiocy of AI! 😉

Agreed! And yeah, AI isn't a good idea at all, and I hate it now too. When you call, it is a stupid AI; if I am calling a place, that means I want to actually talk to someone and get an issue resolved. And like you said, in your case, AI can't replace people ever. And so much information is wrong when you try to look up something.
