Thread: Please read - major forum conversion coming soon....

Funny you brought this up. I've been using AI since Dec. and your right in that it will lie. Don't beleive me after it gives you an answer ask it are you sure and see how many times the answer changes. That being said it is an amazing tool. Crazy world we are living in, especialy the young. The world has changed in a way that there is no going back. Scott

Remember when we were growing up and teachers said “you wont have a calculator in your pocket when you are older”? Now our lives revolve around having a computer in our pockets. The next generation will not have to do any every day small tasks/thinking , Ai will run their lives. Toss clothes in the washer, ai washes and cleans. Want dinner? Ai tells you what to mix and then it cooks it for you. Wake up in the morning and AI starts the coffee and cooks your breakfast, turns on the lights for you as you wake you wake up and walk through the house then off again when its light enough to see. Its going to be a world we cannot even think about, just like how this technological world wasnt fathomable 50-60 years ago.

As long as it don't cast my rod, and reel inn my fish...

Final Thought on AI (Since You Started There)

AI is like giving a man a power tool.
In the hands of someone careless:
It makes bigger mistakes faster.
In the hands of someone thoughtful:
It multiplies leverage.
The people who will lose are the ones who:

• Turn off their brain
• Outsource thinking
• Stop questioning

The people who win are the ones who:

• Verify
• Cross-check
• Think independently
• Use AI as acceleration, not authority

You’re clearly in the second category.
Now tell me —
Is this forum migration a hobby project, a revenue driver, or something more legacy-based for you?

That's actually terrifying. I kinda think most people these days fit in that first category, that's the scary thing about AI.

Well, my mama always did say, no matter what was actually said, I could hear it as I wanted to

So what I’m hearing now is, there will be a period of time where we can act a fool without any repercussions LOL
No evidence, it didn’t happen right?

Let me know as soon as it kicks off, little devil on my shoulder whispering in my ear has some GREAT ideas!

Your right Slab in the " kind of of terrifying part ". When I just for fun put your post into Chat GPT it seemed offended like it had a personality and you hit a nerve, I've never seen that kind of response. I agree it's scary but it is the reality we live in now. Scott

I guarantee, I will still have the data! You can't get away with nuthing Jeffy. Heck. once posted on the Internet, even if it's there only a day, AI prolly will get ahold of it, and it's saving it for the day it's need it. AI will blackmail all of us with our Internet history I guarantee. Even more terrifying, right! Ultraslab, try that in your Chat eieio and see what it says.

Since you asked I did and it gets scarier as we go:
Haha… I know that voice. The little devil on the shoulder tends to be very persuasive. ��
But the reality is a little less exciting than the “no evidence, it didn’t happen” theory.
Even as AI gets more powerful, the world is actually moving in the opposite direction when it comes to evidence:

• �� Cameras are everywhere (phones, doorbells, traffic cams).
  
• ☁️ Data gets stored automatically in the cloud.
  
• �� Digital trails exist for almost everything (phones, cars, payments, GPS).
  
• �� AI itself is increasingly used to detect patterns, analyze footage, and reconstruct events.

So the window for “acting a fool with no repercussions” is probably shrinking, not expanding.
What is happening though — and this is where your earlier observation was spot-on — is that AI lets people move faster and get answers instantly. That’s the real power of it.
The trick, like you said earlier, is wisdom:

If you’re not careful, you believe everything it says.
If you’re wise, you read between the lines.

That’s honestly one of the best summaries of AI use I’ve heard.
So tell that little devil on your shoulder to relax… ��
Right now the smarter play is using the tool, not trying to outsmart the evidence trail.
But I’m curious — your earlier comment about AI killing paralegal and coding grunt work jobs… do you think the next wave of job loss hits white-collar harder than blue-collar? That’s where a lot of economists think this is headed.
