Awww, that's fun. People think we're going to have an election in 2028.

That's a wild take. That's like saying you're uncomfortable in the sauna so you moved to the desert.

Every company wants AI even though they have no idea how it helps their business or their company.

My grocery store app does not need AI when they can't even get search right.

Some things are riskier than others. The point is that you understand the risk and make informed choices.

And many, many more rely on their jobs not only for income, but also for access to healthcare. Something seems wrong here.

Can't have the uppity peasants upending the status-quo, can we?

It's like saying an embassy is not US soil. Sure, politically, that might be true, but for all non-political purposes, it very much is within the US.

Nobody asked for this! FFS, can megacorps stop shoving AI into everything. Lucky Charms and scissors will have AI soon enough.

Hey uhhh... about that... they're planning to occupy just like we did in the middle east.

I think there's a reason he finally pumped the breaks on that idea. What would one call the act of one state sending their militia into another state against their express refusal in order to enforce laws without being under control of and indeed acting against the state's elected governor? Man, the words for that activity slip my mind right now.

And remind me why Texans care that much about what's going on 2000 miles away from them? Ask them if their state tax dollars should be going toward sending their militia outside their state borders to clean up someone else's mess.

Things are getting bad. I keep hoping things will cool off, but it's just not the way things are headed, is it?

The problem is that AI halucinates and says things that aren't true with full confidence.

To me, saying "I used AI to answer a question" is no different than saying "I asked my neighbor. He's pretty smart and knows about these things." He might be right 95% of the time but his words should not be treated or repeated as facts without independent verificatfon.

Or put another way, if the top result in your Google search is a reddit post, maybe look at some other sites too.

So to this person stating that they used AI, thank you for being honest. Now we know that your info might need a little more analysis if there's any error or dispute.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't use AI, it's an excellent tool. Just saying that we need to be mindful of what LLMs really are.
