I experienced this for the first time a couple of weeks ago - the uncanny valley of conversation. Some customer service bots do so little they're nothing more than a serial form, one textbox at a time. But My most recent encounter - I still can't decide whether it was human or trained software - a weird experience - very uncanny.
But their point stands, doesn't it? I don't use these tools, but often see news about how they're trained to give highly curated results. You took their example literally, but I think you know what they're talking about.
I don't understand these instances of using ML to return search results. DDG, returns results; ML returns results, possibly with hallucination. Even without the hallucination what's the point? I find the results I need from a search engine. Solution looking for a problem?
I don't know that you're a terrible person, but I'd say you have a characteristic I'll leave others to identify, because what you write sounds like you consider emotional reactions to be prescribed enactments rather than automatic reactions. You're not supposed to feel bad as if according to some rules, but most people automatically would.
You're being melodramatic; suggesting people cycle in a city is dangerous. Drinking is a perfectly normal social practice in which countless responsible adults partake. As far as purpose goes, I see no reason to think we have purpose any more than a plant, an amoeba, or a monkey - you are free to simply enjoy life, and free to make it enjoyable for others.
If drinking leaves you in a mental fog I would suggest it's not the fact that you're drinking daily but rather the quantity you're drinking. I've been almost teetotal for a few years for no deliberate reason, but before that a drink a day certainly did not create a mental fog.
One of the reasons people are able to roll their eyes at climate change is the politicians who show no evidence of practising what they preach, so the conclusion is that they're lying, which is not out of character.
I like the idea, but the queries seem to be longer than the shell commands, so the only advantage is not having to know the shell commands, and I'm not convinced you want people who don't know the system mucking about on the system.
"a summary of my experience with the language over 6 months " -- I was only able to use it for a week around Christmas before hitting compiler bugs. I like the look of it, but I can't currently use it.
That might be true in a single instance, but when it's across society across multiple countries, with deliberate clearly stated efforts in some cases, then that suggestion falls apart.
I'm curious to know what people are going to be like when they've grown up in a world of things that are not comprehensible. Eg, I grew up easily understanding how films were made, but I wonder how a child's character will develop when growing up with "films" made by something called a neural net - will there be eg a sense of detachment from the world around them? Will there be an extended period of life during which time children don't understand things? What effect will that have?
I think "Intelligence" was used in the name at a time when spying was done on foreign countries. If the spying is now done on the domestic general public it seems we should change the name to something more appropriate.
