I don't often say 'you should share this with less online friends', but they probably need to read this: 'It isn’t that you don’t “get” tech, it’s that the tech you use every day is no longer built for you, and as a result feels a very specific kind of insane.' https://www.wheresyoured.at/never-forgive-them/

Some great 'questions to ask before using AI' including:

Is the answer to my problem predictable from previous data?

Is the AI tool a good fit for my problem?

What are the consequences of an incorrect prediction?

Is the tool compliant with relevant regulations?

I'd add: do I know what problem I'm trying to solve 'with AI' and what success looks like?

I could view them on the site, and download and view them. (I first accidentally downloaded a json of file metadata because that download option was more prominent and I didn't read, just clicked!)
