The Avatar films have nothing to say other than 'colonialism bad' but I cannot deny I really enjoy watching them

There was a recent study that modeled different forms of network, and it turns out that all social networks do in fact regress to Twitter! It's a fundamental behaviour of all possible social media platforms! Yay!

Social media toxicity can't be fixed by changing the algorithms
Experiments involving AI chatbots interacting on a simulated social media platform suggest efforts to design out antagonistic user behaviour will not succeed

As a recent first-time father, I can confirm that the smell of a newborn baby's head (I'm talking fresh out the womb) is indescribably glorious. Like 10x better than all the other smells. Fresh bread and petrichor smell like shit compared to Newborn Baby Scalp

I am massively anti AI for 99% of its uses for the same reasons you are. But in the specific case of technical summarisation for dyslexic users I have been persuaded that (environmental ethics aside) it's a very useful tool that isn't sucking the soul of humanity.

It's very easy (and fun) to think all AI users are idiots, but of course she is meticulously reviewing the output and yes it is still much faster than writing it herself, otherwise she wouldn't bother
And for whatever reason she's found that in practice hallucinations are pretty much nonexistent

Agree, but not when it comes to technical summarisation. My wife is dyslexic and uses AI at work to turn her extensive notes into prose. All her value and skill (writing the notes in the first place) remains, she simply no longer has to have to spend hours trying to make it readable.
