      Well ... that's quite a specific message. I don't think it can be brushed off as a "non-sensical error".

      If AI starts ruling the world, and thinks along those lines, we humans are in serious trouble. :)

          I think generation X and earlier won't care about AI, the rest will use it to become lazier and the military will use it to make more weaponry. So we're still doomed and sleep walking into it.

            All I know is that the internet is getting flooded with AI images, it was bad enough with all the photoshopped images, now everything is just fantasy crap.
            It no wonder the youngsters have totally lost touch with reality.

                  They all look the same to me! :dunno:

                  I don't like it now that when you do a Google search the AI answer comes up first and fairly often it is incorrect as it seems to trawl the net and pick up rubbish as well. Maybe it will read my post and start to do better searches.

                    Re domestic abuse, just keeping these topics in the public domain is what's needed more than anything. It won't magically solve it by having a figurehead, but if people keep discussing it and becoming aware of some of the signs, that's a start. As I said, I'm no fan of Camilla, and she could always start by telling her husband to stop taking money from the NHS in that way, and putting his hand in his ample pockets and donating to refuges, and maybe creating more of them.

                    Please also consider donating to them with the kind of things most of us take for granted, or with a financial contribution. I've never forgotten being in one, and what the chap running it told me. *
                    I'd just say -watch the programme, and get a sense of the reality about it all and the patterns that get repeated over and over again. if you can help someone by reading the signs, you can save their life.

                    * He told me they had a woman in there whose husband was a well respected, successful, local businessman. Every day, he went to work - taking all his wife's shoes with him. I've never forgotten that deliberate, insiduous cruelty.

                      At least these days they can't be so blatant about it.

                          AI is less of a potential problem for the ooman race than the lack of real intelligence being shown in many quarters.

                            Going by that article, "food-related cost of chronic disease in the UK includes £67.5 billion in healthcare". Yet the government wants to make it illegal to smoke, yet according to the NHS it costs them £2.6 billion to treat smokers.

                            A robot has run alongside human competitors in the Beijing marathon, which strikes me as completely pointless, given a marathon is a test of endurance, involving training and pain and an ultimate high (hopefully) when you beat your personal best or whatever. None of these can possibly apply to a robot.
