Invasive AI

[Marie Miller]

Bobby and I were discussing that Doorman thing just yesterday. He was talking about in a cafe, and now they are making delivery robots which roll out with your order. It might be efficient, and maybe a safer way to serve the food, but you do not have the interaction with the waitress or waiter like you do in a regular restaurant.

And if you do not tip appropriately it will kick you like the kids which got hurt during a dance routine?

I spat in your food, Dave.

I am not a fan of AI, and I'm getting really tired of how invasive it is becoming. I opened my email today (GMAIL) and was greeted by an AI Summary of an email from a friend. SERIOUSLY???? I don't know why this absolutely enrages me. I had to look up how to turn that shit off. (And yes, I apologize but it is indeed shit.)

The popular internet story asserts that in the days of wooden sailing ships, agricultural manure was stamped with "Ship High In Transit" or "Stow High In Transit" (S.H.I.T.). According to the myth, this was done to keep the cargo high up, away from bilge water, to prevent volatile methane gas from building up and exploding.

I find AI useful for only one thing. Instead of say- looking up a word, I ask AI and get direct response. This is quicker than typing in search bar for a word meaning or definition.
What I do not like is Ai coming in saying. literally...hey your asking many questions about such an such...so what's it to you

This works for you. Great! I try to get back to the old ways of actually opening a book. Sounds strange but we seem to loose so much understanding and capability while accusing younger generations of doing the same thing. How will kids sign contracts if they cannot write cursive? I was a bill collector. Yes and I learned a lot about a lot. One debtor signed a contract with crosses in the late 1990’s. Well to do business man but never learned to read and write.

@Marie Miller - yes it serves a purpose for me in several ways.
Kids were stopped being taught cursive years ago. Everything so digital now, I doubt a proper signature is useful to them in even in today's world. I agree though Marie , young people need more old time school learning.
Our old ways come in handy .I think about an NCiS episode where computers were down Gibbs breaks out old printer, old Kodak camera, old type phone, different types of communication that had become non existent,, The crew was shocked. Bur hey they still got the job done!

I moved the posts about driving a stick shift to the Standard Transmissions thread, and created a new thread for the posts about COVID: What effects did COVID have on society? This thread is about Invasive AI; that's why it says that at the top.
