Wow. Just wow. Horrifying. Maybe parents can get a class action suit against these self-serving, destructive companies. It's scary and sad that they've amassed so much power. It's certainly tapping into some unfortunate and desperate pitfalls...

There's a Jesus AI, answering all those life's questions one wants answering ..... Right, I'm off to live in the woods....

It shouldn’t even be used for anything remotely in the social / emotional support / friendship areas, it’s bloody dangerous, e.g.: Fake Friend: How ChatGPT is betraying teenagers

My younger brother, when he was immensely littler than he is now, had a pull-string talking bear. Whenever he needed a cuddle, if he didn't turn to one of us he pulled the bear's chord. "I think it's time for a warm winter hug," it said. Just...

That’s not a mistake. It’s exactly how “AI” works. But the vast majority of people do not understand even the basics of AI, which is skilfully used by its boosters to give it a god-like aura of omniscience. AI does not think. It operates by...

Not that I ever wear shoes with laces. But otherwise. Always. That crumb on the floor.....

Well, yes, but I don't think we need chatGPT or the likes to do those things, like researching comps, or checking facts. We can do that without this new tech that's steeling and creating unethical means to do more than that. I don't think the...

I don't think TYM is suggesting using it as a tool for writing, more as a tool in conjunction with writing i.e. maybe searching up a list of comps (which I did last week), or asking it to give you some facts you want for your book. BUT, HUGE...

If you’d like to receive my blog in your in-box each week, click here. Last week my husband sent me this terrifying article—a Microsoft study about the 40 jobs likely to be most imminently impacted by AI and the 40 that might be safest. I’m...

Whoa, this is huge. And a very complex issue. Seems to me on the one hand... YAY that this is being brought to task! It should be. It should have been long ago. But great that this company (and all of the AI learning companies) are being held...

To me, I’m afraid it looks like they suckers." Well they suck if they are not taking a stand for bankrupting AI. "Also backing Anthropic's appeal, advocates representing authors, libraries, and digital rights groups" These organisations are pro...

I hear you there :(
