I work with a coworker who is almost 50. She thinks AI is the bee's knees. Believes it 100% of the time (tried arguing with me about vaccines and rabbit animals, which I would say I'm fairly educated about). The other day she told me she uploads all her medical stuff from the doctor (MRI, Xrays, ect) so AI can translate it for her.
I can't wait for the AI boom to explode
Rabbit animals?
I meant rabid lol
That makes perfect sense in retrospect but my brain just couldn’t figure out the typo/false autocorrect 😂
I don't see why not.....rabbits are animals. That's just a fact, Jack! And fish are fish.....and bee's are knees.....wait a second......
Lmao I still have a love/hate relationship with touch screen keyboards. #LifeLongComputerNerd
That autocorrect drives me rabbid as well.
Technically only a HIPAA violation of the doctor uploads stuff. Uploading your is stuff is just violating your own privacy, which at this point might just be a boomer national pass time.
Ok? Wasn't the point of the post lol
What else would the point of that be
I'm 52 and think AI is garbage.
Yeah, this "article" is age-shaming when it should be stupid-shaming. I have seen both young and old treat ChatGPT as a search- and truth-engine.
Its taken me a long time to accept that a huge portion of the American adults simply do not want responsibility or to make decisions. They want to go through life on autopilot and if they can delegate their autonomy to children, they will. AI is pure magic through, they can delegate without judgment, instead receive affirmation. It makes them feel great and it so much easier than being an accountable adult.
