Definitely needs Grok to write the cv and fill in the timesheets for that one

It's all so creepy and vile and leaves you feeling - well, robbed (well, one way of putting it)

Hopefully nothing left to pirate, it went about 15 years ago...

Have had a random selection of other publications scraped though

Makes me quite glad my book was already pulped! 😬😬😬

No, we aren't ☹️. It looks contingent and un-committed. Which is honest I suppose.

(I often save html content in pdf for my own reference, which also gives me the opportunity to highlight bits and scribble "this completely disregards X" in the margins - but that is of course beside the point!

Oh those too, definitely 😬😬

UGH
I do sometimes wonder if I chose the wrong career. I am excellent at bullshitting - not an aptitude I'm particularly proud of; but then, I don't want my kids to have to worry about me in my old age either, so maybe it's not too late to monetise it?

You're embarrassed Edwin? With respect, that's a you problem. I would strongly urge Chloe to take the advice above and not have kids with him - can you imagine the pressure she'd be under ?? 😭

Annoying isn't it? Feels much more ephemoral, loseable, and deniable.

Happily for the meat-based workforce someone senior eventually realised they might do better hiring a you know, human - with a real human voice and brain. Doubt if anyone is getting their money back though 😡

Someone was telling me yesterday a client asked for some training material to be voiced by AI "to save money", which was an absolute nightmare as it couldn't pronounce the technical terms, and refused (OK failed) to learn. And it randomly acquired a Spanish accent then lost it again.

I know! So rude!!!

How? How do you double-check the accuracy, if you're not already an expert? Ask a different GenAI? Or do you, you know... Have to go and do the research you would have done anyway, pre-AI? Because I'm buggered if I can think of how you do that in a way where the GenAI saved you time.

Do you think any of them has a girlfriend?

It stays on by itself! No hands! Cringe all you like, fashion police. In fact I'm leaning in into the cringe and from now on re-designating cross-body bags as "hands-free".

Absolutely right - that shit belongs on the outside. An effect easily achieved by putting underwear on inside-out 😃

Could go along on the King Herod principle of "bring me to it that I might worship it"*

*spend the 20 mins collecting examples of it making expensive errors

I'm old enough to have had measles and I can remember it - and even without complications it was no fun at all.. Particularly for my mum I suspect. That's two weeks work missed by a parent, as well as two week's school missed by the kid.
