Terje, I checked out a few of your Google-ai urls. 

Well, I still dislike so-called "AI" because it WILL confidently "make stuff up", and with complex topics it hard to differentiate between useful directions vs misleading directions.

Well, I don't disagree, and think: use AI critical and wisely, cross check and cross search :) I think this way AI can be a useful help to fill a purpose. For example I'm impressed what it can help on human memory ;)

And with limited knowledge on special subject, i.e by correspondence with experts that don't have and cannot have time to detail everything for everybody, AI search beside can help a lot on the understanding.

Another example: kids in the first scool classes have the last years used smartphones and pads uncritical for learning. This year after discussions between parents, teachers and politicans, the devices are collected and new books are introduced for childrens well-being and learning.

*technically* it surely interesting history, but socially ... this is Trainwreck, and those trillion-dollar companies will happily trade your health (at very minimum) for their own financial gain 

It also uses resources (from water to electricity to memory chips) but solving this on consumer side is nearly impossible because "99%"  just eat whatever fake innovation Big Tech pushed on them.  I suspect this lack of self-control/caution does MUCH more damage than "just" consumerism, but because there is no "will pill" I'll stop here. 


I agree, it's wrong that giga factories for AI, that creates few jobs, get priority in line with or in front over other jobs, while deceiving local politicians with green energy and wind mills that destroy the nature 🙂 
 


Quite interesting. Thanks for passing them along. (Also thanks for doing the "snips" because I do not always get the longer emails released from being held when over the limit in a timely manner and, after all the snipped parts are already in the thread.)

Beside for fun, I have played a bit with Google-ai to see what answers are generated to questions in the same genre - for what they are worth or not. Hopefully my shortened urls to save space here will work:
