Hi Susan,
Edit: I just realized I’m off subject, if you want to move this please do.
While thinking about all the good and bad, and very bad things AI may be able to do my mind took an exit ramp onto a different privacy issue, thanks kg
———————————————————————————–
I was downloading an audio app (Maxx Audio) from the Microsoft Store and happened to click on the privacy policy, I couldn’t believe my eyes! Take a look, is this even legal?

How can this even be legal?
Thanks,

My biggest issue with AI, the programmers. As we have seen this past weekend with Google Gemini, when a programmer is racist, it shows.
Many many items that must be considered by who is programming AI, and this is not an all inclusive list of items to start looking into, but a start.
Pro-Life or Pro-Abortion Democrat or Republican Pro Gun or Anti-gun CRT supporter Climate Chaos believer EV or Fossil Fuel Electric Stove or Gas Programmers background and family values Programmers marital status Is the programmer an only child or many siblings Does programmer have children Military service or anti-Veteran Pro-Police or Defund Police Where born Where raised Where currently living Programmers music taste Programmers movie taste Programmers reading taste Programmers food taste Programmers drink taste (non-alcoholic) Programmers drink taste (alcoholic) Religious beliefs/faith Past and current financial status Ethnicity Sexual orientation Clothing style Body piercings Body ink Single language or multiple languages (speaking and writing) Programming language(s)
As you can see, there hundreds if not thousands of items to consider who is programming and how AI is programmed.

Very enlightening. You put a lot of work into this. Thank you.
Desktop Asus TUF X299 Mark 1, CPU: Intel Core i7-7820X Skylake-X 8-Core 3.6 GHz, RAM: 32GB, GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti 4GB. Display: Four 27" 1080p screens 2 over 2 quad.
So I am not a person seeing AI as that useful for myself. I am in my 60’s now and while I am sure AI will become useful in some areas, I also see places where it will be shoehorned to work whether it is actually needed. It certainly still has a potential to be manipulated and used not for the greater good. Many I think are too eager to jump on the band wagon just because they don’t want to miss out. We certainly thought personal assistants like Siri, Cortana, and Alexa would be more helpful than they are. But look at how every big tech company jumped on that wagon. I would like to wait, and see where the wagon goes and make sure it is not riding off a cliff but rather on a solid and logical path before I even consider jumping on the wagon.
Frantically kicking and screaming No No No I don’t want to
Get Ready For AI.
Thankfully our very own Master of the Universe Susan Bradley aka Patch Lady will save us from this dastardly terrible fate. Rumors have surfaced about Microsoft Copilot “A secret prompt lets you activate a sinister Copilot persona” and “A hidden prompt lets you activate an alter ego of Copilot with a God complex“. Its horrible I tell you, just horrible.
AI is going to take over the world if we don’t follow Susan Bradley research on this AI subject. Oh thank you mighty Patch Lady!

Well, I just read the BleepingComputer article linked above, and am quite happy to learn that I’ll soon be able to use Microsoft Copilot to “Empty Recycle Bin”! Cuz, ya know, I keep forgetting how to do that; it’s a complicated thing to do, and takes a lot of time and attention to do properly.
It’s so great to be reminded that the folks in Redmond are firmly focused on stuff I really need! And then to remember that they’re even willing to hobble and neglect and kill off useful programs – like WordPad, for example – to make it happen! Thanks Microsoft!
Hope this helps.makes a point.
Eventually people will recognize AI for what it is:
Garbage in, garbage out.
AI is not a substitute for intelligence.
