Yay or Nay on AI?

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. :man_shrugging: :neutral_face:

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.

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.

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.
