Was watching a show on Netflix last night about an AI app for your spouse to keep connected with you after death. It scraped data from your social media, email, browsing history etc to create the digitial AI version of me that would live on. I’m not sure which version my wife would like better.
Google is scaling back their AI Overview replies to searches.
Life has a way of teaching we wee humans that whenever the original premise contains this or that flaw, workflows dependent upon that fractured foundation will inevitably, ineluctably, and invariably find a way to crumble the infrastructure.
The available evidence of several decades pasts strongly suggest that so-called ‘tech giants’ - aka ‘FAANG’ - which have so-warmly embraced AI have yet to learn that ever-present lesson; for my own part, I would posit that they are unlikely to ever do so.

AI talking …
“My brother’s mother’s uncle Joe was a bot.”
Dario Maisto, a senior analyst at Forrester, says a lack of economically beneficial uses for generative AI is hampering the investment case.
“There is still an issue of translating this technology into real, tangible economic benefit,” he said.
The prospects do not appear to be improving, as this eloquently-stated NSFE discussion - one of the many that have appeared in recent weeks re: the Offensive Products-policing Amabot - starkly illustrates (emphasis mine):

It appears that our friend @RiverRetail is another of those who are being forced to deal with this nonsense…
On a side note, I do hope that you’re feeling better from your latest bout with COVID, Mag.
Definitely some better!
@RiverRetail this is very similar to @meredithbead for “mother-of-pearl” and @Dreamscape-Studio for “apple”
Maybe not ready for “Prime Time”?
I was checking out new Microsoft “Copilot” and asked it to create a storefront image with
my shop name. It came up with some cool images but of the 4 images, two were misspelled.
Finally … an AI based on our very own spelling techniques ! …
Sadly, I suspect that someone is going to suffer, needlessly, due to yet another case of Amabots Gone Wild

How can a balloon be an OTC Pain reliever?! How to debate with a bot?
4 weeks ago
How do you teach an Amazon bot the difference between an inflatable balloon and a Tylenol? I wish this was a joke, but it is a serious question.
I can’t seem to get an actual human at Amazon to take a look at my case 15820792411. I have the ridiculous task of proving a Chimney Balloon ASIN: B0DBZSPZ3L is not an OTC pain reliever. I have submitted the instructions and packaging to show that a Chimney Balloon is a large balloon that is inflated in a homes chimney to seal it, and that is very different than an OTC pain reliever. However Amazon insists in Case 15820792411and case 15841518651 that a chimney balloon is an OTC pain reliever.
Here is Amazon responses: " We have reviewed your request and have concluded that your product is Ingestible Over the Counter (OTC) Pain Relievers as per guidelines and subject to the compliance requirements."
This is like having a debate in Clown Coo-koo Land!

I think I have discovered what the AI is erroring out on. It is confusing the word “Flue” with the word “Flu”. So if the description says flue plug or flue stopper. The AI thinks it is a virus medicine or pain reliever.
These 2 cases are still open: Case 15820792411 and Case 15841518651
and I have appealed both cases including the instruction sheet of our Chimney Balloon. How can i get the Amazon AI to recognize the correct spelling of the word “flue”?
