The fact that city council is even considering this tells you all you need to know about their (abhorrent) priorities.
A drive-thru-only McDonald’s restaurant could make its Canadian debut at a grocery store parking lot in Winnipeg, pending city council approval.

"Why do we need door-to-door delivery?" ask the people who expect a DVD, some deodorant and toilet cleaner delivered to their house within minutes of ordering it.
"Why do we need postal workers coming to our door?" ask the people complaining about a loneliness epidemic.
C'mon, y'all.

It absolutely makes sense that men are using AI more and seeing more job benefits, because confidently spouting nonsense in the shape of information (what LLMs are programmed to do) has always been much more of a pathway for career advancement for men than for others.
Every. Single. Story. about women not using AI as much as men portray it as bad for their future career prospects (without a shred of evidence) and a result of women being fearful little ladies rather than looking at AI's output and saying "this sucks, it's not going to help me."
For women, the increase of AI use in the workplace may affect their careers: Harvard study
Women are using AI significantly less then men and it’s going to have a major impact on their careers, according to extensive research on the topic.

LLMs are less like Jeopardy contestants (who “win” if they get the right answer) and more like Family Feud contestants (who “win” if they guess the most popular answer).
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

SoCal friends, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. A few things I wish I’d known as we evacuated ahead of a wildfire (that took our home in 2021) 🧵
