    Agree with this. Small steps towards the feature. Review, iterate, learn and optimise as you go. If the project is a mountain, I want AI to assist with the climb so I can learn the…

    You said: " I've seen it generate such things " By your own admission, you've seen it generate such things. Meanwhile, I've never seen it generate such things because I don't write…

    Sounds like you've tried generating such things. You've seen things people wouldn't believe. Inappropriate AI images off the shoulder of Orion, etc. Now the counter-weight over-com…

    Yeah this is the way for sure. The OP forgets that young users advertising their age online with an "orange vest" might not be best idea. There's almost endless choice of legit qua…

    So Musk's ex-girlfriend makes allegations about images nobody has seen but her, and you're locking that in as a confirmed scandal? Okay dude! Many users including Musk responded at…

    There's multiple reasons. An older family member told me she dislikes AI because she's worried it will give her wrong information or make stuff up. The hallucination issue put a bi…

    The apology was for an earlier leaked post. In that post his tone descends into a diatribe, deserving of apology. He lashes out, accusing others of lies, spin, gaslighting and pedd…
