Things you can't ask AI

So how's AI going for you? I'm not happy with it. It makes errors. It's supposed to be smarter than all of us but isn't aware of obscure hacks in my experience.

But more than that, AI is a digital trail. It's worse than a license plate reader at a traffic light.

I asked if the entrepreneurial company that keeps trying to get me into debt by any and all means - loans, contests, credit card line of credit - is a shill for the big banks that support it? OH! AI was horrified! Of course not.

I bet it won't dish on how to embezzle. Not that I'm in that game, but as a writer, I might like to know for fiction's purposes.

I bet it won't even know statistically how many embezzlers there are in a given US state, or how many other criminal types are doing business every day.

So what are you asking AI? And, how's it going?

my ability to to opt out but I'm doing what I can to avoid using it intentionally, for as long as possible.
