A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I wonder who missed all the news on TV and social media, and still gets the kids such a toy for Christmas.
But boy are these some construed examples. Does NBC think a toddler with access to knives and a whetstone is fine, but the knowledge how to sharpen them is the problematic part? And what's with the matches? I don't hide how to light them from kids. Because realistically they'd alternatively just eat them and die from the phosphor. So again, why home in on explaining how something works with that? I bet we could come up with better examples. And other news outlets have.
I'd really advocate for teaching kids about knives, though. Tell them exactly how sharpness works, and what it does to someone's fingers. Probably at a young age so they get to know about dangerous items in the household. Provide them with a butter knife (under supervision) so they can learn how to make a sandwich without poking their eyes out. It's super weird that some kids can't eat properly at 7yo. And of course don't give them a kids Alexa. But that's for a plethora of different reasons.
