Hey!! Don't come for 'for he's a jolly good fellow'!! It's a banger. In any event, when people start singing 'happy birthday to you, happy birthday day to you, happy birthday to <name>, happy birthday to you', it makes me doubt if it actually is their birthday :)

"If I see “now with AI-enabled assistant” anywhere on a website, I run." Same, Alex, same. My rec would be Still Life With Woodpecker by Tom Robbins. It's one of the weirdest things I read and it felt surprisingly contemporary (and psychedelic).

Whoever thinks that AI will take over the world, clearly doesn't speak 2 languages.

AI is a tool. Use it in a stupid manner and get stupid results. Am I the only one who feels that this article is disingenuous? In the manner of 'hey, let's post about the evils of AI across multiple platforms that use AI (and ML) to help us get likes (and $$$).' Not every post can be a winner, so I'll hang in there hoping for better insights.

AI sees your reasoning and denies it. For it is a jolly good fellow, that nobody can deny [because AI is not a "one" but a "thing"].

All joking aside (although you had me laugh several times throughout this, and the killers obviously knew this is how their song would end up), I have never used AI. Well, I mean I've probably interacted with it through customer service, and I know my period tracking app has it embedded in it but other than that I've never thought it would improve what I have to say. Even on canva (for graphic design), it keeps prompting to rewrite or edit my designs for me. No, thank you. I'd rather express myself, you know, as myself.

I think AI can make certain things /cheaper/ for certain businesses. But does it make them better? I'm not sure about that.
