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?

  • I am making increasing use of AI in an academic context.  Back in the day, one of my lecturers used to refer to the German approach to theological research as a culture of megaminds and brain slaves, and I have come to think of AI as my personal brain slave. To put it differently, AI is like a rather unreliable but very speedy research assistant. So, it can save me a tremendous amount of time by doing literature surveys for me or summarizing texts that I upload to it (not an alternative to reading the text myself, but useful way of locating the parts that are most relevant for my purposes).
