The free AI I use basically crawls the internet and create fairly intelligent results at warp speed

Do I like it and think it good for humanity? Not really. I use it but have caught it in numerous errors. You have to double check its results.

Humanity would be better off without it. Too powerful and most people are so easily manipulated by what is shown to them without digging deeper to find what really the reality is,

Yep , its an easy answer and something to blame when you get it wrong .....mmmmI wonder how long before someone tries to use it as a defence in court

You guys got me going on the lack of common sense these days. I had a kid helping me winterize a building last fall and asked him to pour antifreeze in the sink and shower drains to displace the water and fill them with the antifreeze. A few minutes later I see him at the truck getting more antifreeze and he says I think we are going to need more because I used a whole gallon in the shower drain and it didn’t fill up.
Need I say any more.

Yeah and I stopped a woman tipping the 3rd 4 litre oil pack in her car outside Repco ( car parts supplier ) other day (I was watching her going in and coming out with the oil packs one at a time untill I realised this wasnt looking right ) ....she had been told where the oil goes and to make sure it was full . I told her she was supposed to check the dipstick to which she replied " Im ringin the f🤬ing dipstick now ...he can come and fix it " 😂 I got rye smile and a thank you 🙂.

Common sense has long been in short supply. This isn’t a new thing. 45 years ago while in college just outside of Chicago,I’ll, I met a beautiful and smart blonde girl from Texas. One cold morning she calls me up and asks me to look at her car, it won’t start. As I am walking to her car I notice all the ice underneath it. Yep, block busted … coolant frozen. She said that can’t be because her daddy told her to make sure she had antifreeze in the car and she went out and bought a case. She opened the trunk and there it was, a case of antifreeze.

hopefully that was just ignorance.

I had many of those as a kid, still do as a getting old guy.

If Johnny 5 was connected to Google. That is what basic AI like chatGPT is.. I use it periodically. It’s only as good as the information it finds.
