Where do you really not want AI? (And where do you want it?)
AI can be awesome and awful.
My bachelor's degree is in Computer Science and Mathematics. My "capstone" project was using the then novel concept of AI to timetable university classes to maximize all constraints such as students' and teachers' other class schedules and travel time from previous classes, room size, technology requirements,. (let me tell you whatever they currently use is still not as good as my program but....anyhoo...)
I kind of enjoy watching how people are embracing and rejecting Ai -often at the same time- now it's actually really with us.
Flint highlighted in another thread how damaging it can be.... but let's have some fun with the lighter side.
Where should AI really not be, and where might it be good? And where might it be a double-edged sword?
For the Double-Edged-Sword category, I'mm'a nominate sex toys.
For ABSOLUTE NO ...online voting (and Art -but Flint covered that)
Oooh and naminng children.
For Yes ... I nominate prosthetic limbs controlled by monitoring brain activity

Re: Where do you really not want AI? (And where do you want it?)
Here's an absolute banger of a use for AI that I would immediately adopt and not be able to live without:
An AI assistant monitors my computer activities, logging keystrokes and mouse movement.
When I do the same thing multiple times in a row, it can instantly create a "macro" peripheral input. I'm sure there is gaming mouse/keyboard software that does this, but I don't want to open an application up and train the macro, I want it to passively watch everything I do, in the background, and only pop up to say, for example--
"Hey, do you want me to copy all of the items from that section of that document, format them just the way you've been doing, and paste them into that spreadsheet where you just did this three times in a row? There's 24 more items on the list, and you appear to be removing entries with [specific condition]. I can proceed with the 18 remaining [specific condition] items, sound good?"
eta: I reply, verbally into my headset, "Yes, and do the same thing for each [category], but make a new tab on the spreadsheet with all the same conditional formatting. Oh, and for each [item] create a hyperlink to a Totals tab that just has the last column of each tab broken down by [category]."
"Oh, and scape the [standards body] webpage for each message type. Let me know which ones we've never used in the last 5 years."
