" #AI is replacing tasks many people have grown reluctant to do themselves – thinking, writing, creating, analysing. But when we don’t use these skills, they can decline.

We also risk getting things very, very #wrong. #GenerativeAI works by predicting likely words from patterns trained on vast amounts of data. When you ask it to write an email or give advice, its responses sound logical. But it does not understand or know what is true."

Dear friend in her 80s just gave me a necklace she's had for six decades, "a statement piece", strings of ivory and silver beads and a huge pendant of ivory backed with silver.
Wouldn't normally wear ivory but I will to remember her by; decided to clean it up and looked up "cleaning ivory" on the internet. I knew you *don't* wet ivory, it's delicate - but an AI source suggested rubbing on a paste of water & baking soda and rinsing it off afterwards. Or using vinegar. SO WRONG!
