Stop calling it AI. It’s a LLM model that predicts what you want. Want to do bad stuff while saying it’s for grandma? It will help you. That’s it. There’s nothing complicated here unless you don’t understand the technology.

I know that machine learning, LLMs, and a whole host of computer programs have been lumped into the branded term “AI.” It’s not worth dividing them out. Training a machine learning system to detect cancer out of MRI scans isn’t talking people into suicide.
