Coss Posted June 18 Author Report Share Posted June 18 from another discussion and merely to keep a passing interest in Ai and where it's going: _____ I add my 10¢ worth, for your interest: It’s not the Ai , = remembering that Ai trawls and learns “our” content… it’s the users of Ai , or as a member of the U.S. government calls it, A1. And every Marketing and Sales twallop's, use of it. I know someone whose numeracy and counting ability are terrible, she does budget proposals with Ai and having received the output, sends them on unchecked, she cant parse the content, but trusts the Ai . Lawyers, are getting hauled up on this a lot. Then there’s the journalists, and “citizen journalists” - photos of Cheetahs labelled Leopard, Leopards labelled Tiger etc, Whales are fish, as are Dolphins... We are becoming a world of Trumpanzees... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
