Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “hit/bang one’s head against a stone wall” and its meaning is “to keep trying/doing something hard without any success”.
Example Sentence: We hear the future is going to be all about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI and ML). We wonder what these machines are learning. We learn from the company we keep. And in human company, we fear machines are picking up our negative traits. They learn to laze around and ape our whimsical behaviour. At least with a human, you can appeal to his goodness. He may relent. With a machine, it is like hitting your head against a stone wall.
