My AI wants me to do allsorts of things and install this and talk to people there, and I just ignore them now. It takes longer to turn on my computer but they won't go away, so I click them off and go to where I am safe. Here.

Re: Re: Sea-Gypsy.....TAPS

Good for you! I gave used it a bit to help identify time periods or locations of mystery pictures but it was not that helpful, yet write in an authoritative tone. I told it that it was wrong. It became gracious, acquiescing. I asked my grandsons if their professors knew when AI was used if they have to write a paper. They said yes, that there is an app for that.

Re: Sea-Gypsy.....

I am trying look at it as something new to learn instead as a bothersome pest.   I know that  soon if I keep at it, that it will just become "invisible" to me.

Re: Mike....

They say, if you can't beat them, join them.   I am trying to do that....It is just so dang bothersome when one is trying to learn new ways and things at nigh on to 89.....but I'm trying to not let it get to me and just let it set there and work around it.

You can disable it. Maybe your son will be able to do that for you. It's a true pest at times. Most times. Has a long way to go.

Too funny. I understand. Change the way you look at it. Train it the way you would a pet. You can use it for good and not evil. You are still in control.

AI can be a bane. Very sorry for your trouble with it. AI is everywhere these days. In some cases it's hard to discern what is real and what is AI.
