  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

There are good uses for AI in science and medicine, primarily for number crunching and pattern recognition.

Not for making theories or decisions that require an understanding of those fields though.

Chat bots are just a cancer to humanity.

Here are some ways that AI has been helpful: https://crcs.seas.harvard.edu/news/10-wonderful-examples-using-artificial-intelligence-ai-good

^ I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE ENTIRE LIST ON THIS ARTICLE. ONLY SOME OF THESE DO I CONSIDER TO BE 'USEFUL'.

Edit: Fuck AI "art"

like puncturing patients' skulls because the machine god misidentifies organs?

The Machine God makes no such mistakes, to think as much is merely the weakness of the flesh.

+++ THERE IS NO STRENGTH IN FLESH, ONLY WEAKNESS +++

+++ THERE IS NO CONSTANCY IN FLESH, ONLY DECAY +++

+++ THERE IS NO CERTAINTY IN FLESH BUT DEATH +++

  1. You think that is good?
  2. Did you read past that?

  1. It's called a facetious statement.
  2. I don't know how to read.
