My latest podcast episode is a wee rant on the reasons why people upload their personal, medical and financial information into AI…
…. that is people who are desperate for answers and help with serious housing and money problems.
Three reasons people do this:
1) Councils and the DWP – the organisations that are meant to help people in need with housing and money – simply do not help.
They turn homeless people away and deny people benefit money. So, you might as well ask chatgpt. You’ll get more information, even if it is slop
2) People have given up hope that their private data will be kept secure. Security concerns around AI taking your data are a luxury.
Fact is that councils and the DWP lose people’s personal, medical and financial information all the time. God knows where it goes. Probably swilling around in some Google AI learning dataset.
3) AI is polite and even enthusiastic to and about you.
Chatgpt and Google AI etc might steal your info, tell you that you can get a council house when you absolutely can’t and sell your data on to sociopathic private companies, but they are really friendly to you while they’re at it.
Makes a refreshing change from being treated like shite by your council and jobcentre.
You’re right in what you say both about official lines of inquiry being hopelessly biased and futile, and about AI. I recently tested AI by asking if it is possible to hum the theme tunes to Man From Uncle and Dangerman tv shows. Absolutely possible was the answer, despite both theme tunes being Jazz influenced ditties that no one could possibly hum.
AI lives in its own happy place… Pity it’s created and run by asshats really. In itself, it is Pollyanna on speed.
Since you can no longer get a Job Vacancy advertised at the Job Centre, what’s the point of keeping the Job Centres going !!! If they closed down all the Job Centres it would be a Saving of £500M a year because the staff don’t do any work anyway.
If one chooses to keep the Job Centres open it is best to resort back to what it used to be with bullet proof Glass to protect customers from the staff getting angry throwing their at the bullet glass. Then there would be a £500M saving a year because there is now no need G4S.
G4S. What a bunch of wankers.
Just there to intimidate claimants pure & simple, and in doing so contribute to the “hostile environment” ethic.
Stepping, I’ve been saying that for years. What is the point of Jobcentres? Especially in these days of UC and online Journals . Jobcentres haven’t had any actual job vacancies for years and now they don’t even have to ask to see your jobsearch evidence, it’s all there online for them to see. And as you so rightly say, they cost a fortune to keep open.
I am writing a book of joke AI results.
Q. Can AI clean your toilet?
A. No, but we can sell you a robot that does for £££
Q. Does AI have a sense of humour?
A. No. AI has problems with Human’s sense of humour & cannot understand it.
