[grc] Fwd: AI Hiding In Plain Sight

Wed Dec 21 18:37:55 PST 2022

You find this intrusion exciting???  I find it supremely frightening and outrageous!!! I am a radio programmer who appreciates and wants great editing tools and I am a prescribing clinician and patient advocate whose work and training are increasingly challenged and overridden by demanding patients who are certain their few hours of research on the inter net is far better and by mushrooming layers of hucksters and insurance "benefits managers". Add to this the tremendous criminal enterprises manufacturing and selling fake medicines and treatments.
 This has NOTHING to do with "training(educating)" workers and everything to do with replacing us in every aspect of our lives that can be monetized. This should be vigorously opposed and struggled against in every way we can.
