to be fair, this is actually one of the few correct use cases for AI: using it to convince yourself that drinking urine is good for you

NEW: A Utah mother posted what she felt was an innocuous family video to IG/FB. Later, she noticed a Meta AI prompt encouraging her to investigate her own family -- and watched as the AI drew on years of social media posts to compile intelligence about her and her kids. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Let’s say you’ve already spent some time in the United States Army, a vicious colonial project that in recent years has been weaponized by a government with even more openly fascistic tendencies than in the past. What would get you to reup, aside from general economic hardship that the Army has long preyed upon? Special training? Time and money to attend college? Extra leave to spend as you please? OK, well how about this: Four—that’s right, four!—days off to play a video game.

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

Real good bit about the slippery slope of genAI use. A battle we're already fighting, especially against the C-suite.
Text clip from the Harvard Gazette article: 

He continued, “Whatever your chosen profession is, please don’t let AI rob you of the fun part of it. Your generation’s upcoming battle won’t be humans against AI; that’s at least two months away. … It’s going to be people with substance versus people with shallow knowledge. It’s going to be mastery versus faking it. It’s going to be people with good taste versus tacky. I trust you will put in the work necessary to be on the right side of those battles.”
