I worked for 30 years before it existed, and the first 10 of those there were barely an internet. Never had a problem. We had these things called books and libraries.

I've been testing the chat bots for about a year. What kind of idiot would trust any of their answers for their work?

One of the first questions i asked them for was the IRMAA Medicare Income Brackets. They got them wrong.

Just asked again. This time they got them right. I'd never trust them with anything important.

    The trust thing is it for me. People are like, you could use them for your job, it'll save you time. Like, it saves me exactly zero time if I have to go back and check its work, because that's what I would've been doing anyway! And now, instead of my mistakes, which I'm very familiar with, I have the hallucinations of some machine to contend with.

    I always think it's weird when they say nobody could write 10 pages or whatever without AI. I write for a living and grew up before all of this (I didn't have the internet until I was a teenager) and under the right conditions (IE a good amount of caffeine and people leave me alone) I can write 10,000 words in a single sitting lol.

    I use to work for the army and flew a desk. By the time I retired my word smithing skills were great. Just put a pc in front of me and I will fill your document with all the relevant buzz words, needed to get managements and procurements buy in.

    They are somewhat degraded now, I'm almost 70.
