Artificially Interpreted

[arewethereyet]

^Though I love technology and though kinda old when I had to make the move to computers, I embraced it fully.

AI - not so much.

The first word is enough for me.  I have no interest and am tired of it infiltrating everything.

- - - Get off my lawn!  ----

lol, I get that. I won a small cash scholarship in high school for programming computers, and when I enlisted in the USAF, two of the five slots on my dream sheet directly involved computer ops, one indirectly involved computer ops (cryptanalyst), and the last two were B-52 tail-gunner and firefighter.

Fuckin' AF went all the way to slot five and trained me to run into burning buildings instead of away. Assholes.

Let's see an AI train firefighters.

Back when I was in AIT, I was trained as a Combat Telecommunications Center Operator.  Supposedly we were using computers but they were glorified typewriters at best.  You could not do anything with them other than send a message to another unit hooked up to the one you were working on.  There wasn't even a screen really, just a little line where what you just typed showed up.  I ended up in supply for a while because I could type. vzczcz started and ended every message.

I hate to think how many times I typed "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog".
