AI is like Brexit, in that the people pushing it don’t point to concrete benefits. Just the potential. The mystery box. Something they imagine makes things better.
At the same time they ignore the downsides. The reality. Believing that negativity about mystery box changes its content.

A depressing look at the labyrinth of AI slop courses being shoved at people under the guise of education. You don't learn any actual, useful skills from them
I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

Companies keep forcing AI into everything but what they should be doing is inventing duvet sleeves so you can read in bed in winter without your arms getting cold

Normally we drink ‘a cup of tea’. It only turns into ‘a nice cup of tea’ following some exertion eg shopping or mild contretemps/disappointing news/ etc.

it kind of blows my mind how much AI enthusiasts devalue reliable accuracy. for a while there we had an internet where you could find an accurate and truthful answer to almost any question you could think of. We have traded that away for…..? I’m not entirely sure what the gains are here
"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits."

Cosy craft season has barely even started and I've come up with 3 new projects on the already long backlog, at least one of which is WILDLY overcomplicated and extra

You'd think it would be impossible for a fish to look like they've just remembered leaving the oven on. You'd be wrong.

This is basically "replace yourself with a chatbot"
Seriously? Outsourcing human connection to the robots now? Why live when AI can do it for you!

If the act of doing the thing makes you miserable and unhappy, I’m sorry, but you are not built to do the thing. AI will not help you. You need to find something else that you love and do that instead because being “good” at the thing STILL means you’re doing the thing the whole time!!!
