The only use for AI I can see is a self propagating worm that will respond to every politician's attempt to use AI with slapping the everloving shit out of them

We are all fucked if the politicians and/or civil service starts using AI for policy creation or implementation.

The bullshit one of them confidently spewed me the other day about basic Sydney facts was mind-boggling and dangerously wrong. Edit: To be clear, that was an AI I was talking about, but somehow that sentence can be applied to most politicians too.

Have they tried increasing demand while keeping supply the same? I’ve heard it is the solution to the housing crisis.
