    Family member: "What did he die of, doctor?"
    Physician: "Hanging chad. We thought it was contained in Florida, but it seems to have spread."

    "Trust" depends on which side of the transaction you're on. You better believe the push against gas stoves is because they are not so easily shut down.

    In a crazy sort of way, I can see how AI might be better than some pastors.
    Especially lately, there are an abundant number of pastors who are afraid to read it straight out of the Bible and preach accordingly instead of cow-towing to public sentiments.
    If a computer program can say, “these are the rules, live with it” then I’m kinda liking that but of course, that would depend on the programmer would it not?

    Here's a comment fro the forum I first read this on:

    "Probably a more solid sermon than what the liberal female pastor normally gives. AI just rips off bits and pieces of info off the internet so there is sure to be some trad stuff mixed in there."

    Just heard recent number of street residents and i'm hearing in the 100,000 count in So Cal. if Ai keeps going and DriverLess cars, we can k eep adding to the 100K street
    residents. Sick sick sick and just gets wors since 1917's start.

    That 100,000 is a mix of so many types...and 6-7 dying daily, gotta bump that up so more can be out of their misery or should I say the people's misery,

    I'm not sure if anyone here uses Alexa but if Artificial Intelligence isn't scary enough for you let's combine the two.

    Amazon Launches New Generative AI-Powered Experiences on Alexa

    https://cordcuttersnews.com/amazon-launches-new-generative-ai-powered-experiences-on-alexa/

    I can imagine all kinds of things Alexa may be up to once it's AI enabled. The same would go for Siri. What do you think?

    Btw, I only looked at the last page of this thread so if this has already been discussed, sorry.

    I made a faraday cage for my credit cards. I guess I can stick my phone and laptop in the microwave, when not in use, to block contacts. I don't have siri or alexa but the phones etc listen anyway. Even when off.

    I don't think there's any staying on top of AI. The genie is already out of the bottle. I think it will be more dangerous than helpful.

    I'm finding that going to unknown new sites is NOT what I'm doing NOW. Just got a fearful alarm supposedly from Microsoft when I attempted to open a new info site. I shut off the computer and restarted and here I am......fear fear fear and stress stress from the Baastartddds.

    That's weird. Same thing happened to me about an hour ago. I called Microsoft and they told me to do exactly what you did ... shut down my computer and restart it.

    I try not to think about it but this morning I see that people on Internet forums are using AI to argue their positions in discussions with other members.

    The idea of forums is human interaction. How are we supposed to know if we’re talking to a robot? Does the idea of that bother anyone else or am I being silly?
