Now I see the creepy side of AI

I tried to order beer for my friend during a zoom call once, whilst he went to the bog, using his Alexa..

It was successful, and I had to get him to cancel it on his return.

The problem is that nowadays every service you use is being run not on your local machine but on someone else's machine, and exporting huge amounts of meta data which is being collected and collated by at least two separate entities who use it against you.

It's a process that was once described to me by a priest (when my then G/F was having some trouble with demonic activity, jeez, some women can be hard work!) which he called "the hidden hook" where a process that is ultimately bad for you is overlaid with an attractive appearance. The propaganda that surrounds the vast majority of "alternative lifestyles" is an outstanding example of the "hidden hook" it appears, when you actually go and look into the issues that they face and have to deal with when they decide to stop trying to "fit in" with the majority. Job advertisements also are a strongly representative of this concept. Caveat Emptor.

A.I. Is apparently really useful for making a degree easy to obtain, and degrees make you money...  I can't be bothered, but it might help some of you "over achieve" in life! 

Here's a seventies tune that seems to fit the zeitgeist.
