help-circle







  • My gf’s employer was going into administration last month. AI was surprisingly competent in determining where to seek advice and had a decent understanding of what to expect and how to approach things such as not getting paid on time (which happened last week).

    Of course, we double and triple checked any information given to us with the relevant bodies, but it provided a little relief to go into something so chilling not being completely clueless.

    AI has its use, but you have to know how to extract the information you need.

    It’s stupid the way people are using it for therapy. Like, by all means ask it if it knows any organisations which can help you, then look those up, but don’t tell it a load of personal information about your relationship, because the reply will be something akin to the advice you see on r/relationships (which is probably where it scraped its data from) 😅

    Pfft, perfect AI would plan well ahead for such easy to predict events such as solar flares. They would be able to shield themselves.

    That said. I wonder if there’s a novel where machines enslave the world, but humans realise whenever solar flares happen, there’s a small window of opportunity to permanently destroy the system and free themselves.

    I imagine the novel would end when the people succeed, but then realise they’ve become too dependent on the machines and life sucks when they have to do everything themselves so they turn it back on anyway.

    The film adaptation would end in a giant Metal Gear style fight, followed by the system blowing up and people cheering - you’re left to assume that life was better for everyone, when in reality AI had such a control over every aspect of human life that everything falls apart. They make a sequel to address this, but it ultimately comes across as yet another empty corporate money grab.
