That’s like asking for an elephant stamp for wiping your butt after going to the toilet.

Voting isn’t an accomplishment, it’s your duty and the reward is the society you live in.

That was very helpful and interesting. Thank you for taking the time to explain.

How are Wikipedia articles like this protected against defacement and misinformation?

Thank you, much appreciated.

I just looked on the Google Play store and can’t find either of the apps you mention. Do you have a link?

If you don’t have any hair, it won’t change colour…

(It’s a joke, laugh)

Also, not for nothing, the human body changes daily. I’d recommend that you get used to it before you have an unhappy life pursuing battle against the inevitable.

Not sure how I feel about such a bot. I can see potential security issues arising in relation to stored relationships between users and posts.

I’m fairly sure that the price information shown on a Google Search result page is advertising that comes from a different source than the results do.

As far as I know, you could write a plugin for SearXNG to query suppliers and format the output as required.

I think that Google Shopping might be queried in the same way, but I’ve never looked into it deeply.

No, you didn’t “edit” your mistake, you completely changed the meaning of your response which makes anything after it look absurd.

You originally stated that an algorithm was intelligence, the implication being that using your logic, you thought that a calculator was intelligent.

As far as the meaning of AI, you clearly don’t understand the landscape surrounding the hyperbolic assertions made by ignorant journalism about the topic.

Machine learning is one aspect of the landscape, useful as it is, intelligence it is not.

LLM emissions on the other hand appear to emulate enough grammatically correct language to fool many people some of the time, leading to their mistaken belief that what is happening is intelligence rather than, at least from their perspective, magic.

(Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. – Arthur C. Clarke)

So, intelligence it is not, Assumed Intelligence is what it is, or autocorrect gone uppity if you prefer, an algorithm either way.

There is nothing new about this phenomenon.

For example, I grew up in the beginning of the home computer boom in the 1980’s. Much of that history has completely disappeared because it was thought to be safely stored on audio cassettes and floppy discs.

Because we learnt nothing from that, the next popular storage medium, CD, lost much of the 1990’s because as it turns out, they too are not indistructible.

In case you think that this is limited to home computers, today we couldn’t build, let alone launch a Saturn V rocket and send it to the moon, even though we know that this happened many times. Why? Because we don’t have the tapes and those that we do, can’t be read by any equipment we have, not to mention undocumented skills, knowledge, experience and processes.

History has always been written by the survivors.

So … write it down and survive!
