Do you use AI?

I don't, but I know lots do and I wonder why? I find AI sumeries when I do searches limited and irritating and they just take up space on the page.

I can't imagine talking to Ai about personal problems, or even something simple like where to get trousers the right length.

I've seen some of our posts put through AI and I'm not sure how I feel about it if I'm honest. If it has to learn then I guess we're better teachers than some, but what does it ultimately do with our conversations?

What does it do with our feelings and emotions, it can't feel or emote, isn't it rather like a mask talking to a mask?

  • Sparingly, yes, mainly for summarising research information or meeting transcripts (with participant consent). I have been strongly encouraged to adopt AI at work (productivity, cost saving) rather than being drawn to it.

    I have learned that the quality of the 'prompt' (what you ask the AI agent to do) is important, and it does sometimes make mistakes so it does require discernment.

    I do not trust it for medical stuff, life advice or anything else confidential, especially as AI and big tech have the facility for surveillance.

    I still prefer a library, some books, synthesising data myself to create meaning, expressing that in words and pictures - and even asking another human what they think!
