Mid-week notes on reasons AI sucks, plus ladybird, squirrel and sweetpea seeds

I work in IT, I use tech for most of the hours of each day, and I’m often a fan of progress. However, a note on the reasons that Artificial Intelligence sucks sprang to my mind this morning after an unsuccessful chat with a particularly chirpy and idiotic bot and ongoing news of the negative impact of AI systems.

For screenreaders – Image of a notebook and pencil, with a handwritten note as follows:

Reasons AI can fuck off

1. Stealing all the words

2. Knowing fuck all

3. Over confidence

4. Incapable of true understanding

5. Encourages lazy thinking

6. Discourages thinking

7. High social cost, low social value

8. Boils the oceans

9. Infests public discourse

10. Capitalist extraction

Meanwhile, back to gardening in this so-called gardening blog.

Behold three highlights this Wednesday – a ladybird, a squirrel, and a collection of sweetpea seeds gathered from the finished flowers.
