What are your thoughts on AI?
I have just read about Daisy the AI who is used by a phone network to speak to scammers. I have listened to a clip of her who sounds like a lovely old lady who enjoys baking and winds up the scammer in her conversations where she sounds confused. I don't know quite how it works but sounds a good idea.
Daisy sounds like a good use of AI, but one of the few. I think some of the medical advances could be good like checking mamograms and stuff, but to my mind it still needs to proved over a longer term. Over all I'm not in favour of it or more computerisation of life.

On that note I find it interesting, what Samsung are doing with their flagship phones. Offering them with oodles of convenient AI. Giving their consumers two years to get really used to it all - then, end of 2025, withdrawing the teat.
You can still have it, only now if you want it that bad, you will have to pay a monthly subscription for it. At least for the best bits.
Clever aren't they.
I hope not either, I've had loads of arguments with techies and nerds about my treatment of computers, that I shouldn't shout at them or threaten them, these people take it so seriously. Oddly enough they never want to help me with my tech problems, just tell me off and/or laugh at me as I have yet another disaster.
I often have problems getting a word in during conversations with more than one person and end up saying nothing, I could just see me being talked over by an "assistant" and shut down, I suppose the only advantage would be that I could unplug it, although with all thw battery life in these things probably even that wouldn't work. And what about these fridges that order your shopping for you? What if it ignores you and you end up with 200 pints of milk you don't want, I know its supposed to be easy to use these things, but we all know they never are in reality.
The medical and scientific potential is massive, but the reality of it isn't that we need to fear AI, it's the people who own it.
History has proven that people with money, use new technology to make themselves more money. Greed will be the driver behind the evolution of AI and will decide it's direction based on where it can benefit those who own it.
I wonder if all these smart gadgets work when thrown out of a window and runover by a car?
Don't worry, a day will come soon when the bleeding heart liberals with give AI rights and you will be fined for deliberately abusing them.
I hope not.
AI like so many other things, seem to be there to stop you having time to do the things you enjoy, whilst giving you more time to do the things you don't.

I agree that it is not good in some cases, for example where it replaces human employees. I also don't like these things that you talk to in the home and they do things for you. I have been in people's houses where they have had to tell it not to do something because it picks up on conversation.
