according to a pediatric ER doctor my wife follows on Instagram they have started to see children coming in sick because their parents are asking ChatGPT what the correct dosage is on over the counter medication instead of just looking at the instructions on the bottle
One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about.
Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards.
From Mastodon, AI asked how to wire a plug:

Because Democrats have been voting with Republicans in bipartisan support of the fascist ICE agency going back to 2003 when George Bush started it, with increases in funding & detentions of innocent people year over year over year. That's why.

Det här argumentet är så urbota korkat.
Alla fattar att vi alla inte skulle gå ner till att arbeta noll timmar och bibehålla produktiviteten eller upprätthålla välfärden.
Men någonstans finns en brytpunkt där vi jobbar för mycket och inte får ut mer av det.

Svenskt Näringslivs argument mot arbetstidsförkortning blir mycket roligare när man vet att de själva kortat arbetstiden till 37,5 timmar i veckan.

Varför inte spetsa till det lite till? Om nu kortare arbetstid är så dyrt för samhället, varför inte höja den? Skulle 80 timmars arbetsvecka vara dubbelt så bra för alla jämfört med dagens 40?

Amnesti för de tonåringar och ”kompetenta” som riskerar att utvisas i all ära, men asylrätten ska gälla oavsett ålder och oavsett ”skötsamhet”. Detta är för lite, för sent. Det får inte stanna där. Sverige måste göra upp med den katastrofala utmärgling av asylrätten som varit i stånd sen 2015.
