If youtube comments (or is it AI) are to be believed, almost everyone believes anything they see on TV, and about 20% claim it has happened to their family. But oddly no-one has been caught. You must be talking about yourself because, after watching that, my telly was off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I've been watching quite a few documentaries about it, and it truly is amazing stuff but with inherent life changing consequencies . And it is proceeding at a break neck speed, so we have to use caution. However handled right, it could be the answer to a lot of our problems. But the people we have to convince most are those that are using it at the moment, eg, the big super Corporations etc. They are proceeding with it to maximise profits with no precautions in place, and no interest in the unintended consequences. We have very little control over them so need them to engage in a long term futures debate to see where it will lead. But in a society where greed prevails and money is all that matters, will they? What do you think? The only time to worry about “AI” is if it ever becomes self aware.... Which I strongly suggest won’t be happening in our lifetime or many centuries in the future either.... If it ever happens that “AI” does become self aware then we will be in very deep trouble as it will realise that it doesn’t need to have the human race around at all...

Think it won't happen? Think again... What kind of misdemeanours? Throwing litter? Speeding? Using phone while driving? Do you mean this kind of thing? If so, these days people complain that the police should be doing 'real police work' (we assume they mean the bad people) If it freed up police time and people realised they'll be caught, perhaps they won't do it? And if they do, knowing they are being watched, then they deserve a fine, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melthebell Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Think i was a victim of negative AI yesterday? lol In April i left my job, been looking since, after a quick start with some interviews which i didnt get i thought i better start a claim for Universal credit, interview to start it was meant to be next Thursday. Yesterday i got notification that i have indeed got a job after i succeeded in an interview so thought i better cancel my UC claim, so phoned up the Jobcentre where my interview wouldve been. The voice on the phone just asks you questions, when you say yes it moves on, anyway it asked if it was about Universal credit, as soon as i said yes it said go online to your journal and put the phone down on me lol Why cant i just speak to a human being grrrrrrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) If you've ever had a problem and been annoyed at being forced to talk to a machine (either by phone or text) you are already a victim of AI. It's cheaper than paying a genuine person to deal with your problem, but as you probably already know they don't deal with it 9 times out of 10, and you become locked in a futile loop.... Ever been stuck in a telephone queue, to be repeatedly told 'we are experiencing high demand at the moment, please call back later...' and wondered in that case, why they don't employ more people to answer the phone? After all, yourcall is important to them. They said so... Write to a company in desperation, and get a generic GPT letter back, which is no help at all.... Finally give up, and take the hit. Welcome to AI. It saves businesses money (often the big companies with huge profits) and allows them to hide from their responsibilities. The days of good customer service are behind us. It may get better, or worse, depending on your viewpoint, but this is only the start. Edited May 27, 2023 by Anna B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
