.
Because I’m here to add more uselessness to your life.
.
.
We used to a family of crows in our backyard. They’d visit the bird feeders and eat seed that had fallen on the ground.
.
.
Whew.
Now I’m twice as glad I made friends.
.
.
Sheb Wooley was right!
.
.
I really don’t care. And even if it can, that seems like an awful waste of time and money.
.
.
Great. Something else to worry about…
.
.
Here’s to useless news. Providing me with so much blog fodder I could post one of these every single day and still have useless news leftover.
.
.
Oh good.
Something to look forward to.
🥴
.
.
A robot hurling paint balls.
That will keep those kids off your lawn.
.
.
Teargas pellets?
Yikes.
.
.
I don’t know… but I think my male readers should take one for the team, start drinking soy milk and report back when they have to buy a bra.
.
.
Gene Roddenberry would be thrilled.
.
.
I might have just gone with a hamster, but okay.
.
.
There are so many articles about AI right now, some are disturbing.. some are just ridiculous.
.
.
I think that qualifies as ridiculous.
.
.
Who knew “Her” would be so prophetic?
.
.
If it makes Elon cringe, it must be bad with a capital B.
.
.
Uh, correct me if I’m wrong…
But that sounds like it’s going to be everyone’s problem.
.
.
If the man disappears, buys a cabin in the woods, unplugs from technology and lives off the grid as a hermit? I think we can all guess what he saw.
Gulp.
🥴
.
.
Really, can we stop it … because I think I want to get off.
.
.
AI creeps me out.
Robots? Even more so… and after watching this? I’m going to have nightmares about both.
.
.
For less than the price of most new cars you can have an extremely bendy robot of your very own.
.
.
Just know that if you do buy one, I won’t be accepting your dinner invitation.
Ever.
.
.
This just keeps getting better.
Not.
.
.
.
Several risks? I’m guessing there will be more than that.
.
.
So once it lies, it won’t be able to stop?
Great.
.
.
Lying, and manipulating humans to do its bidding.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you….
🥺
.
.
I don’t know about you…
.
.
But I don’t think trusting AI with deep space diplomacy is a very good idea.
👽
.
.
I can’t help it, I’m going to keep sharing these.
.
.
Did you have a make believe friend when you were young? An invisible playmate to keep you company and act as confidant. I didn’t, but it seemed harmless enough.
Until now.
Welcome to the digital age when your fake friend might be a tad tricky.
.
.
An AI companion?
Count me out.
.
.
See?
Tricky.
.
.
Autoeroticism and stabbing as conversation stimuli may be more than most people are looking for in a digital friend.
Or not.
It’s a crazy world…
.
.
I was never a beauty pageant fan. Even as a young girl I thought they were ridiculous.. but this?
.
.
This is beyond ridiculous.
.
.
And if the idea of AI beauty contests isn’t high enough on the stupid scale? They named her Madame Potato. Is that supposed to be sexy… because I don’t get it.
.
.
AI Miss America, bringing the world together with starchy root vegetables.
Good grief.
.
.
Are you as sick of hearing about new AI applications as I am of posting them? Every day it seems like some tech firm is introducing another thing we don’t need.
.
.
Sorry, but I don’t need to see Mona rapping Gin and Juice or Straight Outta Compton. Not now, not ever.
.
.
My dreams are trippy enough, no artificial help necessary.
.
.
Because there aren’t enough bloggers who think they’re poets.. we need a camera?
.
.
“Home becomes this placid batter”?
Is that cake.. or baseball.
.
.
While I’d love to query Dali on those melting clocks and disembodied eyes … I’ll pass on the computer generated version.
🥴
.
.
Enough is enough with the AI applications. I’ve written about it undressing you and suggesting self harm but this might creep me out even more.
.
.
No thank you.
Uh uh. No way.
.
.
What the utter Hell.
.
.
Come on. No one needs an avatar of grumpy Uncle Harold showing up at his funeral and berating you for not visiting more often.
And a Micheal Jackson avatar moonwalking between the pews hawking Thriller albums?
Just, no.
.
.
Good grief.
Or more literally, not good at all.
.
River's world.....
