Just in general, I hope you remain uncowed by people taking an ideological position (what position isn't?) and then trying to shut you down by saying you are.

Perhaps this paper, especially the section on "AI" as an ideology, and the other works cited, might be helpful:

Okay, I propose a slogan for this: "Janky until proven functional, period."
And note that that assumes HIGH standards for functionality, established in the specific use case.

But speaking of staying in one's lane, can we PLEASE switch the default position from "It's fine to use 'AI' for this thing I'm not an expert in" to "Yeah, I'd be really skeptical of any use cases and need to see strong evidence that it's okay, but I'm not the one who can produce that evidence"?

Just sitting here waiting for Jeff, the feral black cat who arrives on the roof at 8pm so I can feed him. A skunk just came to the front door. This is my life. I feel like I should write an animal buddy adventure story about the critters round here.

Public schools should not indoctrinate students, discriminate against families who don’t share their beliefs, or force taxpayers to fund religion.
They must remain secular and open to all.

Conservatives failed to create a taxpayer-funded Catholic charter school in Oklahoma.
They're now using a proposed Jewish school to revive the same scheme.
And a federal judge just gave them the green light to proceed.

Wrongly indicted, charges dropped, and now we learn prosecutors allegedly knew the Reflecting Pool renovation was failing and they charged David Hearn anyway.
I hope he sues their asses off.
