We had an awkward self-checkout encounter and I’ve been terrified to use it ever since. But I’m still waiting for the day that I’ll recognize being asked for my NIF. I swear it sounds different every time they ask.
I am eating lunch and almost choked on a strawberry you made me laugh. Ordinary life experiences can be so crazy and funny no matter where we are but in a foreign country they take on an added dimension. Your glee when the native speaker couldn't figure out cauliflower either, I so get that. When the young attendant who spoke perfect English keyed in your item and it resulted in an absurd amount of Euros just as it had for you echoes how many of us feel when young people assume we just didn't do it right. Sometimes I want to tell them that I taught myself HTML 20 years before you were born so don't look at me like that!
AI is neither good not bad; it has no nature of its own, only applications. Some of them are scary, but some are really great. Frankly I could not do my job without it, it really helps me save time. I think we need to start emphasizing the fact that AI doesn't really replace humans - it replaces the need for humans to do certain kinds of simple predictable tasks, which, to do successfully, requires training by a human.
Yes, it's a bit like auto correct. Very handy most of the time, but not always accurate, and then of course there's the real danger of AI becoming smarter than us and getting up to all sorts of things both good and potentially very bad things. Hawkings was pretty clear about that.

WHY OH WHY ARE THEY NOT ASKING "NIF?"
This made me laugh…in a good way. That whole “wait for the attendant” is priceless.
She says it in this tone of voice like you weren't going to wait, like you're a trouble maker: PLEASE - *wait* for the attendant!
😂

Hahaha I know but if you say that they’ll just think you’re old for not using AI
AI is a bit terrifying. I'm getting job offers to "write" for AI. This confuses me. Isn't removing the human the whole point of AI? I don't get it.

I wish I could get AI to destroy the hackers who are still holding my FB account hostage.
