As Eric Raymond (ESR) says, AI is a force multiplier. My elaboration: If you are good at what you do, it will let you do accomplish more good stuff faster. If you are not very bright, AI will let you be not bright more efficiently, but it won't make you bright. It's just a tool. It needs to be utilized correctly. There is no shortage of things in this world that can do tremendous damage if not used properly. AI is nothing new in that regard.

"AI slop" is so 2024. That argument isn't valid any more.

I'm surprised you didn't use the word "slop". Spewing a bunch of slogans that would have to be more clever to make it on to bumper stickers makes you look like the people you are complaining about. There are legitimate criticisms to make about AI, and ways to support and defend those arguments. You are not doing that.

So, steal parking. DUH!

I hate this timeline. :P

"I only help with official U.S. government information and services.

If you have a question about a federal benefit, agency, or how-to (passports, taxes, Social Security, veteransâ(TM) services, and similar), ask that and I can look it up."

I guess it got removed. :(

Nah, we went to back to usenet, FidoNet, etc. ;)

One time $10K is low. How about $10K per day? I will take that!

Sounds like you're not defending Access so much as ODBC.

It's mighty convenient for you that your claim makes it impossible for you to provide evidence of this outrageous claim.

... is not let AI get into the hands of people like Bill Gates. That, however, is impossible.

Ooh yeah. That's a good one. Remember THEM!?

I am an ant, not a human.

Ditto. "Wipe them. All of them."
