Sitting at a bar and the old couple next to me were arguing about how a kitchen reno could impact your insurance cost. Lady then says "let's ask chat" and she did not mean twitch chat, she pulled up the chatgpt app. Chat, we're cooked.

When people say they’re anti-AI, they’re clearly talking about generative AI in the arts and LLM slop that C-Suite jackoffs want to use to replace them.
You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. So the “then don’t use spellcheck if you hate AI” talking point is disingenuous horseshit.

She left her ex. He secretly tracked her through a network of policing cameras.
Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.
