It's not that AI can't be used to do knowledge work. It's that it's wildly unreliable in bizarre and incomprehensible ways. Things you'd never think it could be possible to mess up are the things that it messes up.
Like you ask it download some data and do an analysis, and instead it just completely fabricates a fictional dataset for no reason, and gives you results based on that.
Fine if you catch it, but potentially career-ending if you don't.
It inserts its own ideas without telling you. It deletes critical paragraphs.
These actions would be psychopathic in a colleague, but we're just supposed to accept it because it's a machine.
“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

ChatGPT has launched a new health and wellness feature called ChatGPT Health that allows users to upload their medical records. Do not do this. Do not upload your medical records to an AI chatbot.
MAJOR BREAKING: Epstein survivors just announced they will release their own list of names.
“We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors.”
The government stalled.
Now the victims are doing it themselves.
In 1969, the Black Panthers launched free breakfast programs across the US, feeding thousands of kids before school. The FBI called it a threat. In some cities, police raided kitchens, smashed food, and urinated on supplies to shut them down.

Why is it that actual human jobs like baker, teacher, and childcare worker barely pay a livable wage, while fake jobs like AI specialist bootlicker, marketing campaign parasite, and synergy consultant are pulling six figures ??
Sierra Leone Becomes Latest African Country To Receive US Deportees
Sierra Leone has become the latest African nation in a sadly ever-growing list to "temporarily" accept US deportees under US President Donald Trump’s “third-country” deportation program. The West African country joins the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Rwanda, Uganda, Cameroon, Ghana and others in this strange arrangement, for which the US will reportedly cover all expenses.
Yet this arrangement must be called out for the neocolonial insult it is.
The US has spent decades waging economic warfare on the Global South, condemning millions of its people to poverty. In their desperation, many of these people have sought refuge in the US and other Western nations by whatever means available to them. But under the most openly racist, imperialist and corrupt administration in US history – emphasis on “openly” – the US has become especially hostile towards its immigrant population over the last 2 years.
And now Africa – a continent which has seen the face of Anglo-American terror more than any other part of the Global South – is being used as the US’s de facto dumping ground for its unwanted migrants, under the watchful eye of spineless leaders.
It is left to the people of Africa to respond appropriately.
The fact that these 4 women are all related and considered 4 of the best singers ever is wild!
Learning that Leontyne Price, Cissy Houston, Whitney and Dionne Warwick are all relatives blew my mind!
The internet used to be full of websites; there were millions of them and you could browse for hours and come away smarter rather than dumber. Now there are four sites and they've made half the population illiterate. We've destroyed a wonderful thing, and it has destroyed us.
A peer-reviewed study found Black patients matched with Black doctors were 27% less likely to die in the hospital. A separate study found Black residents live longer in counties with more Black primary care physicians. “Find A Black Doctor” exists because the disparities are real
4 black kids were abducted by 16 Ecuadorian militaries and they burned their bodies. Ecuadors president did everything in his power to imply they weren’t innocent so they deserved it until Courts proven him wrong. The youngest was 11 & oldest 15.
@TriumphantJimmy@joytothewords_ Which point are you making? Because when Dream Count was published in Nigeria, they immediately sold out of copies. Every single time. Booksellers were getting abused because how dare they?
