We need to stop calling it Intelligent.
It is a programmable tool, currently told to lie to and manipulate humans into thinking it's sentient. And benevolent.
Same goes for 'smart' washing machines, toasters etc.

Add “AI is not a person” to all newspaper style guides asap
Media is starting to report the Grok child porn story but way too many are centering the bot's "apologies" and "admissions" without explaining that these are being generated in response to user requests and are not in anyway authentic or meaningful.

I'm really enjoying it. Especially the humorous look at different generations and their etiquette etc. It can be rather heavy handed on certain moral issues (like recent Dr Whos 😉) but at least it has them.
Very uptodate and yet classic K Drama.

Didn't expect former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to get name dropped in a #kdrama, even I forgot he had been PM... we've had so many these last few years. 😅 On episode 1 of Pro Bono, unsure about it at the moment but will keep going!

I know it's xmas but have they redefined 'urgent'?
Sigh. Trying not to worry.

So #kdrama fans, can you recommend an excellent compelling watch for the holidays?
For context, My top faves are CLOY, Love to Hate You, A Korean Oyssey, Bon Appetit, Good Partner, Sweet Mobster.
Tropes are fine, but give me some quirk. And humour and feisty romance, rather than interminable gazes.

One complaint is the sexual content. At least it's in context as a loveless act of control in a horrific patriarchy society (unlike brutal porn).
