And somehow, this is normalized. Somehow THIS is a good thing. At least you're selling, right???

It's like that joke about jumping off a click shooting oneself in the face; It's a trick you can only do once...

If AI could manage my history A level entry about when Richard III beat Geoff Hurst to be England's top scorer would certainly get me sacked from a wino shop.

The problem with AI is that it hasn't been trained on what hasn't been written yet. Watch this space AI.

*well not this space exactly but I'm sure there are nascent original works in the offing.

It just doesn't, but you get an answer and if that's all you care about you can use it to decide health insurance claims or discover 'fraud' in government departments.

Ignoring that it is so open to misuse, AI is quite fun. Ask question - get dodgy answer - then ask for sources - get eyes opened - then ask for sources that aren't bots and ... sometimes... a path opens to enlightenment.
