Dear Paul,

Father's Day is only a few weeks away. I've invited the kids
over for a "pizza afternoon." Hopefully they'll all come.
Last night - hubbie and I had Mexican food. Tonight - it's
going to be Chinese.As you can see - no complaints about
multiculturalism. (smile).

Indyvidual,

I didn't ignore your point. The fact of the matter is that AI, much the same as any tool, is able to be used responsibly or misused.

Your concern that this technology can be used to create illusions or replace genuine thought is valid, but it is not an inherent flaw with AI itself. It is about how we use it. Writing off AI altogether based on possible abuses is akin to not creating any technology whatsoever out of fear for its potential downsides.

Speaking of critical thinking, for decades now universities in Australia have required all students to begin with a compulsory unit on how to assess what they read critically. So, the idea that the educated have been brainwashed is just plain silly.

John Daysh,
Of course not all educated are brainwashed only the majority. Look at it from another angle. Parliamentarians are largely made up of educated as are the majority of any outfit that rely on public funding. Now, look at how inefficiently they operate & how little if at all of any use they are to society.
Why aren't the education-leaning/preferring ever satisfied by the doings of the educated in Govt for example ? The Woke for example are literally besotted with awe for anyone educated & declaring themselves 'intellectual'. I'd have thought the real educated would have distanced themselves from these pointless hangers-on just from the shame of association alone.

Indy,

You know nothing of education, having none of it yourself. Your attacks on education stem from your own failings in life, not having the academic "brains" to think logically, you mindlessly attack others who are clearly your superiors in that department. You no longer repeat that ridiculous claim that 95% of public servants should be sacked, but still peddle your fanciful notion of national service for young people.

no need to repeat myself as most decent & thinking folk can see that themselves. The next Federal Election is likely to prove that !
America was on the same track until sleepy Joe opened the gates for voters via the end of that wall !

Indy,

Interesting that you should mention "that wall". Ask yourself, why does the US require a well to keep people out? What have they got that these people want? When you answer that, ask yourself, how did they get it, and was it justly obtained. Then if you are honest you might understand where I am coming from when I say, the crime is not being committed by those wanting to enter, but by those wanting to keep others out.
