Artificial Intelligence and The End of Work

But but but....huh?

From the WaPo today: The 184 year old Cleveland Plain Dealer is now using AI to write selected articles. The paper which once employed 400, now employs 71. Another Turing Test, if you can't tell the difference, there is no difference.

^ Funny how that doesn't work with lab diamonds.

Our local paper had a writer named Lindsay who was terrible. She could barely form a sentence. No subject-object alignment whatsoever. I could always tell if she wrote a story without even looking at the by-line because I would nearly have a stroke trying to read it.

I don't support replacing people with AI but if the people can't be bothered to be capable at their jobs, I can see why companies would do it.

The diamond industry simply put more money into convincing us diamonds are forever, even though they’re fundamentally just common ordinary gem stones.

Yes, thank De Beers.

We just cashed in some old gold jewelry and was amazed that many pieces fetched more than what we paid for it years ago.
Some had diamonds, and they were pretty much useless, 1/3 carat of so so jewelry grade solitaire, 5 bucks.....
We hung onto most of them at those prices.
