A woman who is “libertarian” and promotes microschools, doing interviews with many new start-ups around the U. S., is all for A I. (She is also in favor of government funding of alternative education, which to me, is inconsistent with libertarian thinking and is asking for trouble as far as government interference.)

I was talking with a man a couple months ago who is working on helping people with interpersonal communication skills. He is a really nice, decent, God-fearing man with a nice family (4 biological children and 2 adopted sons). As he explained more about what he was working on, he told me he is using A I for what he is developing. Someone can enter what they want to tell someone and the A I will tell them a better way to say it. He tried it with something he wanted to say to his son and what he actually said, coached by A I, brought tears to his son’s eyes. His son told him, Dad, it’s working. The A I-assisted wording really touched his son, who knew what his dad is doing.

I keep thinking about that and I am very troubled by it. If someone said something to me and I found out it wasn’t their own idea, but they had been coached by a computer, I would be insulted. I would rather a person say something less touching that was from their heart than to have a computer/A I-generated message.

The world is spiraling. I think I can hear the suction as it is going down the drain.

Can you explain why this is relevant?

It's kinda spammy to just drop a link without any commentary.

So... you're admitting to spamming.

Also, you clearly haven't understood the interview.

Comment that he deleted:

"I tried to watch your interview and I thought it was awful so I wanted to put something worth looking at into the conversation. You have no clue of the devastation that is lurking all around you. NONE OF THESE PEOPLE IN POWER SHOULD BE TRUSTED. I wish you wouldn't speak, write, or do interviews."
