@seraphine @technocrit the cookie banner is often now an “accept or leave” button, similar to how this addiction one sounds. Or “accept or pay”, commonly.
I never accept.
Mostly a lurker.
I read books to pay the bills.

@glitchdx hmm. I’ll have to look into it. Most of the companies I work with are locked into office so I may be stuck with it but it’d be lovely to get rid.
@Gsus4 @TheBat the more worrying thing is how many times it has made something up that nobody has spotted because it looks normal.
Proofreading spots spelling/punctuation/formatting issues. You need a deeper copyedit, not just a scan, to check the sense of something. And that won’t necessarily catch factually untrue, but perfectly plausible, things.


@Holytimes wooooah.
I thought voice controls not understanding women or accents was bad enough, but I forgot those things have eye trackers now. They haven’t allowed for different eye shapes?!?!
Insane.


@NikkiDimes @Wlm racism is about far more than tone. If you’ve trained your AI - or any kind of machine - on racist data then it will be racist. Camera viewfinders that only track white faces because they don’t recognise black ones. Soap dispensers that only dispense for white hands. Diagnosis tools that only recognise rashes on white skin.
@IronBird @mirshafie did you use a comma where you should have used a semicolon there on purpose
@Rooster326 @1984 it also asks if you would like to generate a secure password, rather than it just being on right-click, in most “new password” fields.
Google password manager also warns you if you have duplicated passwords saved in it and prompts you to create new, unique ones.
I don’t like Google but they do ok with password management I think.
@seraphine alas, I am in the UK. Who knows what’s illegal or not here
