How I stopped worrying and...

As AI adoption becomes more and more a religious behavior, including in/out group decisions based on professed belief, this Ask MeFi thread about ways to talk about AI with believers is fascinating and useful.

My advice? Keep a list of items when Cat I farted is wrong, and present that list whenever you are asked about your opinion on AI.

Also, how do they (whoever "they" are) know you are or aren't using AI? If they can't tell if you use or don't use it, then just don't use it. If results matter, then why does it matter if AI did it or not? Also, I don't buy "time to market" as an answer: Microsoft was never first to market in their entire history. Neither was Apple. Nor Google. Nor Tik­Me­Insta­Pin­Linked­My­Face­Gram­Book­In­Space­Tok­We­Trest.

Yeah, I have a lot of trouble not being sardonic when discussing the "benefits" of AI.

All <cite>ed text will point to the Flutterby knowledge base. Two enters (ie: a blank line) gets you a new paragraph, special treatment for paragraphs that are manually indented or start with "#" (as in "#include" or "#!/usr/bin/perl"), "/* " or ">" (as in a quoted message) or look like lists, or within a paragraph you can use a number of HTML tags:

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
