AI has already been used in some counseling sessions. I’ve heard some people actually prefer it because they think there’s no worry about a breach of confidentiality, and there’s no embarrassment about confiding something to someone else. Soon we’ll have our AI devices sitting next to each other talking by Bluetooth. All they’ll need us for is to be taken out for a walk to recharge batteries and pick up the poop or the printout.
When it comes to holding someone’s hand, cradling a baby in your arms, making a friend over a couple of beers on the back porch, reading a story someone has put their soul into writing, or touching someone’s heart, only someone genuinely human can do that.
Yo L.B. ! Nothing ya put on the web ( in any form) remains private. Don't believe me ? Google anything . A pickleball paddle. A dogwood. And then pull up Google and I'll bet ya get a topic relating to what ya searched.
I get the sense that AI is considered to be more "aware" that a computer. It's interactive, but it's just a big encyclopedia, another computer. Garbage in, garbage out. The issue has been the bias of the programmers. So far everyone commenting on using various AI sources complains that it's Leftist bias in it's responses is a drawback and can't be overcome without reprogramming it. (Ask it something political.) Other than a new toy, I can't see the point.
Sean, you are irreplaceable, and so is your writing.
Well Pone, when you mandate $20/hr minimum wage @ da hamburger joint you gone be seeing a lot more of dese Bots- dey don't smoke, come in late, take a break, complain, play on dere cell phones, etc. Folks need to be careful what dey wish for. I'll keep you in the "RI" category- real intelligence. "Dey pave paradise, and put up a parking lot!"
Read your Bible, it’s gonna get way worse before it gets better. But we, as Christians, knew this was coming. I just never thought it would be during my lifetime! God bless us all with an early departure for the heavenly realm. Amen.🙌🏻✝️
I am a retired computer programmer (retired many years ago in the early 1990s) and the last class I attended (more like a TED talk) was on AI. I have tried to read more and more about AI and where it's going and I am fascinated. I may be crazy but I think AI is a great thing and will have more good than bad results. It's no different than the internet as far as having some good ... and some bad things ... associated with it.
The main problem with AI is who's programming it. Ask it some political questions. If you think AI is great, wait till you see what it spits out. Think 1984.
My jury's still out on AI. The ol' country boy in me says, "If it looks like a snake, crawls like a snake, and hisses like a snake, don't pick it up until you know what kind of snake it is."
'Course, I was like that with microwave ovens many years ago. My intelligent spouse said we should get a microwave, but I resisted mightily, saying, "no. that's just a passing fad, like hula hoops, slinkies, and Edsels. Then, after she won the battle and we bought a miccy-wave, I learned couldn't live without it. "Smartest idea I ever had!" I told her.
BTW, AI did not write this. Nothing intelligent about it!
The fools are the folks who read the AI stuff and believe it to be good. And another thing, until they get Waffle House restaurants in airports, I refuse to fly. I will remain on the open road. (Comment written by a real person.)
I'm old school, and will continue to follow the real Sean, not some AI bot! I logged into Facebook today to see if photos of a friend's first grandbaby had been posted yet. When I went to the search bar some sort of AI thing popped up and there seemed to be no way to get rid of it, so I just closed the app and waited til I got home.
The problem is, is that we won’t be able to tell. They keep getting slicker and more deceiving as they go along! My advice is do not get the implant they are gonna force on us, just like the ccp vax!
THAT is hilarious! I loved it!. Sadly, AI is being pushed into our lives at an alarming rate. It still has a long way to go as most of the time it doesn't understand a Southern accent. After me asking to speak to a human agent for about 15 minutes with it saying it didn't understand, I let loose with a string of words that would make a sailor blush and slammed the phone down. By the way, AI doesn't understand cuss words either. LOL
AI programmed by people who haven't stuck a toe below the Mason Dixon line and think people here are all related to the Dukes of Hazzard. Lord help us!
Holy catfish, that's scary! However, no danged AI is ever going to replace your writing Sean, with its incredible amount of heart and soul. 💗

Smart, poignant and tender, as always, Lander. Thank you for sharing your perspective.

Bid Brother... you betcha !

“..AI devices sitting next to each other talking by Bluetooth.” That brought to mind “SkyNet” from the “Terminator” series. 😳😳
Go back and watch old movies, they been telling us our future for years!! Really quite disturbing.

Of course there’s a conspiracy theory attached to it.
FYI “conspiracy theories” are in fact the truth, that’s being veiled for the weak minded.

What used to be science fiction is now real life. Beam me up, Scottie.
Beam me up GOD!
Please keep writing, Sean. Your authenticity was not mimicked successfully by Mr Artificial Copycat.
Lord, have mercy.
Read your Bible, it’s gonna get way worse before it gets better. But we, as Christians, knew this was coming. I just never thought it would be during my lifetime! God bless us all with an early departure for the heavenly realm. Amen.🙌🏻✝️
Since I have no comment of my own, I’ll borrow the wise words of MD….there’s no better way to escape all the nonsense that surrounds us…
“Read your Bible, and Pray for an early departure for the Heavenly Realm.” Amen🙏
No CRAP!! We are screwed !!
Make it stop

If that was an example of AI’s abilities, do not abandon us Sean. Please continue to give us real heart and soul through your stories.
