Nice one, Kate! Now, this is how you tell if someone is a chemist or a plumber: ask them to pronounce unionized.

AI. compiles the notes on the calls and chats I do for work. I’ve noted times when it missed things I did. Or where it lies and says I didn’t do something. My favourite was where it called me incompetent. In Chinese. (Google translate can help.)

Those of us who aren’t ‘techies’ and are over 75 are REALLY struggling…

Control Z?

I used AI just once to correct grammar, etc and the post got denied as being written by a bot. So I reposted it with my own phrases and such and was accepted.

I went to Google on my phone. Aimed the “camera” at the Polish words. Hit translate and got English. I kinda expected it to translate the last line back to Polish, it didn’t.
