On top of everything else people mentioned, it’s so profoundly stupid to me that AI is being pushed to take my summary of a message and turn it into an email, only for AI to then take those emails and spit out a summary again.
At that point just let me ditch the formality and send over the summary in the first place.
But more generally, I don’t have an issue with “AI” just generative AI. And I have a huge issue with it being touted as this Oracle of knowledge when it isn’t. It’s dangerous to view it that way. Right now we’re “okay” at differentiating real information from hallucinations, but so many people aren’t and it will just get worse as people get complacent and AI gets better at hiding.
Part of this is the natural evolution of techology and I’m sure the situation will improve, but it’s being pushed so hard in the meantime and making the problem worse.
The first Chat GPT models were kept private for being too dangerous, and they weren’t even as “good” as the modern ones. I wish we could go back to those days.
I don’t support mass deportations but I understand why people do. Id prefer amnesty (especially for children and families who have been here for years) followed by eased legal immigration processes to make it easier to come here legally.
What bothers me recently though isn’t mass deportations themselves, it’s the way they are being done. Unmarked officers, no oversight, sketchy warrants that prey on people’s lack of knowledge of their rights, strong arming local organizations and governments to hand over info, punishing people who are trying to fix their status or lost it on a technicality, etc.
