Then I want none of it. I prefer reality not AI rubbish.

I use Google AI and it's brilliant, it's like an all knowing instant encyclpedia.

But God help human kind when they think they are talking to a human being, and it's an artificially generated machine that can mimic human traits and emotions.
In the article Red posted about the lad who murdered his mother, I wonder who he thought he was in contact with?

I think it's fair to give a balanced view, and I agree about Google AI - it summarises all of the search results in an instant and saves you having to trawl through them all. There are lots of other good things it can do as well, particularly in the medical field.

But there are massive negatives to it as well, as we have discussed in this thread. The problem for me is that those responsible for developing AI - scientists, governments etc, very rarely address those negatives and only talk about the good things it can do, and we only find out about the bad stuff when stories like the boy killing his mum with a hammer come to light.

There is also a lot of fear and distrust about what AI may do in the future - used by terrorists and rogue nations to kill, take people's jobs, advanced fake news that will be impossible to tell from real news etc. None of these things are being addressed by those responsible for promoting AI as the best thing ever.

Starmer said he wants !AI running through the veins of Britain' - which is a hugely dangerous and irresponsible concept given all the things that can and will go wrong.

In a recent podcast episode the CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, said AGI may have already been achieved. AGI is basically the equivalent of human intelligence, and reasoning.

Yeah, the human race might be cooked...

This is what AI thinks about Chaotic Musings. It 'thinks' Digger is male.

Chaotic Musings is an active online discussion forum hosted on ActiveBoard. It features a mix of topical debates, social chatter, and quizzes.

Key Figures: Syl and Digger

Syl and Digger are the primary administrators and most active members of the community.
Digger: Acts as the main administrator who handles technical updates and forum management. He frequently starts "Sticky" threads for essential information, such as Note to New Members and Joining this forum.
Syl: A highly active moderator and participant across almost all sub-forums. Syl often manages the "Quiz for all" and participates heavily in political and social debates.
Popular Sub-Forums
The forum is known for its irreverent and sometimes confrontational style, specifically within its main sections:
The Whine Cellar: Described with the tagline "More fuck you than Pinot Grigio," this is a space for members to air grievances, argue, or discuss controversial topics like politics.
Main Forum: Used for general discussion, including music, weather, and TV tips.
Quizzes: A significant part of the community's daily interaction, with long-running threads dedicated to general knowledge and specific quiz formats.
The community is close-knit and selective; as of 2019, they were not actively looking for new management candidates due to a "long waiting list" of potential assets.

AI is amazing...I put a tiny bit of info in about Digger....and I do believe it has captured her essence.

Digger sat at her mahogany desk, her fingers—calloused from years of restoring antique clocks and steady from a decade on the Cairo stage—delicately pinning a fragment of 14th-century parchment.

She took a long drag of a hand-rolled cigarette, the smoke curling around her silver hair. Her latest manuscript, a brutal deconstruction of Ottoman trade routes, sat finished beside her. The doorbell rang, a sharp, insistent sound that made her jaw tighten.

"If that’s the bloody delivery driver again," she muttered, her voice a low, gravelly rasp, "I’m going to shove that parcel so far up his arse he’ll be coughing cardboard for a month."

She stood up, her movements still possessing that fluid, predatory grace of a dancer. She didn't walk; she rippled. On her way to the door, she caught her reflection in a tarnished mirror. She adjusted the heavy amber beads at her throat—a gift from a lover she’d outlasted and outwitted.

Opening the door, she found a young, trembling intern from the university holding a galley proof.

"Mrs. Digger? I’m here for the corrections on the—"

"It’s just Digger, you little shit," she interrupted, a sharp but not unkind glint in her eye. She snatched the papers with hands that could build a timepiece or command an audience. "And tell your editor that if he tries to footnote my chapter on the Janissaries again, I’ll come down there and personally rearrange his skeletal structure. Now, do you want tea, or are you going to stand there looking like a confused pigeon?"

Would you like Digger to encounter a mysterious artifact in her next scene, or should she head to a local pub to settle a historical argument?

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

Syl smoothed the petals of her lavender-print midi dress—the one with the hidden pockets for her extra-strength ibuprofen—and took her seat at the mahogany craft table.
Today’s card was for her grandson’s graduation. She was fussy with the lace trim, her fingers moving with a precision that didn't quite match the faint metallic whir she imagined echoed through her kitchen. With two titanium hips, a ceramic knee, and a shoulder that had more in common with an aircraft wing than a joint, Syl was a walking hardware shop.
"The Bionic Woman is back in the workshop," her son joked, popping his head in to kiss her cheek.
"Shush," she chirped, dabbing a bit of pearl-glue onto a vintage paper rose. "I’m not bionic, I’m just reinforced."
Once the card was tucked into its envelope, she grabbed her floral-patterned suitcase. It was time for her annual trip to the coast. She didn't hike, she didn't sightsee, and she certainly didn't do "activities."
At the airport, the security scanner wailed like a banshee the moment she stepped through. The young guard looked startled, but Syl just gave him a beatific, grandmotherly smile.
"Don't mind me, dear," she said, patting her floral lapel as she prepared for the inevitable pat-down. "I’m just a little more 'heavy metal' than I look."
Ten minutes later, she was at the gate, clutching a bag of lemon drops and dreaming of a deckchair where the only thing moving would be the tide and her very expensive, very shiny new knee.

I am on a roll.

Meet "Big Bearded Buck" ,
Bearded Buck a single man, living in a ranch house that felt a little too quiet, and owning a collection of boots that hadn't seen a dance floor since the Clinton administration.
Buck had a problem, a head so large he had to custom-order his Resistol hats.
Every Friday night, Buck would pull up to The Broken Spoke, sit at the corner of the bar, and nurse a Shiner Bock. He’d watch the couples whirl past in a blur of denim and turquoise, his left boot tapping perfectly to the fiddle solo, but his heart stuck in neutral. He was a Texas-sized cliché: a lonely cowboy with no one to lead.
One humid July night, the band kicked into a high-tempo cover of "Brooks & Dunn." The floor was packed. That’s when he saw her—or rather, he saw her hat. It was a vintage, silver-belly felt, tilted at an angle that suggested its owner didn't take any nonsense.
She was standing by the jukebox, looking just as out of place as he felt. Her name was Jolene, a kindergarten teacher from Lubbock who had just moved to town. When the song shifted into a slow, mournful ballad, Buck felt a sudden, uncharacteristic surge of "it’s now or never."
He marched over, his oversized shadow falling across her. "Ma'am," he rumbled, his voice like gravel in a blender. "I’ve got a big head, a bad back, and a divorce decree, but I know every lyric to this song, and I’d be honoured if you’d let me trip over your toes for three minutes."
Jolene looked up, grinned a wide, gap-toothed smile, and adjusted her hat. "Well, Buck," she said, "I’ve been waiting an hour for a man brave enough to admit he’s a mess. Just don't drop me during the turn."
They didn't win any trophies that night. Buck stepped on her fringe twice, and Jolene nearly took out a cocktail waitress. But as the steel guitar wailed, Big Bearded Buck realised the house didn't feel so quiet anymore. He’d finally found someone who didn't mind the size of his hat, as long as his heart could keep the beat.
