Vi har nettopp hatt vår første store KI-skandale, men det er pinlig underdekket. Jeg skriver om hvor dum den kunstige "intelligensen" egentlig er, og hvor dumt det er å både bruke og hylle den ukritisk. Pluss litt om hvilken figur fra gresk mytologi jeg føler meg som, selvsagt.

«Likhetene mellom dagens USA og det amerikanske samfunnet på slutten av 1800-tallet er slående og burde vekke frykt», skriver @sreenet.bsky.social i denne kommentaren: filternyheter.no/er-det-for-s...
