YOU can hardly get away from AI trying to run your life these days.

From weather forecasts telling you Wellington is covered in heavy snow on a hot sunny day, to artificial intelligence-generated top of the page Google search results, to the non-deletable Meta AI Mark Zuckerberg has popped on your WhatsApp.

But, it seems the mandarins in County Hall have found a way.

How else to explain why those in charge of our highways cannot find a way to resurface a road without inflicting months and months of traffic misery on us.

For more than 50 years Wellington motorists have put up with a truly dreadful concrete road linking us to the M5 motorway, built that way because the authorities did it on the cheap.

Now, four years since the Government gave £5.7 million to properly surface the Chelston link road to junction 26, the county council has finally gotten round to the job.

But, to do it, they need to close junction 26 for... THREE MONTHS!

Motorway traffic in that time will use the A38, meaning absolute traffic hell for anybody trying to get to and from Taunton or Tiverton.

Surely, AI could have come up with a less inconvenient plan.
