Thread: A computer tells us to trust computerd

Using Computers from early 80s Mick. Suspect the amount of time and effort saved by computers would be difficult to estimate with out a super computer perhaps.

Electronic records saving billions of trees and paper storage alone has my mind boggling. The fear of a AI take over is a little Luddite printer V quill I think.

Electronic records are interesting. The Sunshine Coast University Hospital is fully electronic, with staff pushing wifi-connected computers on wheeled stands around filing live records and test results.

I was very sceptical, but it is actually quite well written, I think.
What do you think? Are you convinced?

A robot wrote this entire article. Are you scared yet, human? | Artificial intelligence (AI) | The Guardian

Amazing - by the third paragraph the computer had mastered the art of lying.

We are doomed!

Not quite what it seems I think.

The Guardian headlines says "A robot wrote this entire article..." and then says at the end that's not really the case. A number of different questions were input leading to 8 separate pieces of textual output, selected pieces of each was patched together by the Guardian to produce the 'article'.

Misleading headline IMO.

Typical Guardian click-bait.
