Pandaimitator's hideout

Rabbit-hole explorer extraordinaire. Expect Tarzan, the Mummy, Cary Elwes, or anything Edwardian/roaring 20's. Unapologetically both Queer Feminist and obsessed with uxorious male leads. Kink for kindness when reading, hurt/comfort when writing.

I don't want to be anyone's bad conscience; I'd much rather be your guilty pleasure.

Now go enjoy my self-indulgent fanfiction:

BEFORE WRITING: Oh, this fic idea is so cute, and it won't take any time at all! WHILE WRITING: Oh...oh, no...I Underestimated this. Again.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 5 days 19 hours

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Remaining time: 5 days 19 hours

[odyver]

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined

Remaining time: 5 days 19 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

It occurred to me today that if Terry Pratchett was still around, we'd have a brilliant book about AI by now.

They would build a new machine standing next to HEX and HEX would be... not jealous, of course, why would you think a machine would be jealous? But still HEX would randomly start responding to someone who would spend more time with that new machine.

I'm 100% positive that Dibbler would be mass-printing generated bad romance novels and selling them for profit. All of them would have titles like "A Necklace of Pearls and Flowers" or "A Menace of Dragons and Swords", depending on the audience.

People would buy dis-organisers with new features and the imps would give VASTLY inaccurate answers ("No, dragons don't breathe fire, this is a myth, you are safe!") that would put them in danger - and yet would still refuse to get rid of them. (Maybe Dibbler would sell those advanced dis-organisers, too, sounds like something for him.)

The Watch would have their hands full saving people from said danger. Vimes would never trust this new invention and would get extremely angry at anyone suggesting he bought one, too.

Dwarves would be very anxious because, as our dear Blackboard Monitor already knows, Words Are Important. And if those words come from gods know where, that's really bad. I can actually see the plot where they can actually team up with Blackboard Monitor to destroy those "machine" words at the end.

All that generated rubbish would put L-Space in the danger of collapsing. Because there are books that no one should have written.

Labs are back! Guess who's anemic as f*uck again?! And the doctor? "Take iron supplements." Nahuh? Remember how we've been down this road before, and they just don't cut it for me?

[pandaimitator]

Update: managed to get not just the clinic, but the actual doctor to call me back. He had indeed forgotten all about how iron supplements have way too damaging side effects, and when asked about iron infusion basically just shrugged his shoulders and said sure. I'm almost... disappointed?
