Scott trying to avoid AI reminds me of the BOG to resist is futile. You cant even open Word, Excel and almost anything else without them trying to trick you into opening and authorizing AI to access your system.

Good comparison with the BORG, you’re right. Creepy doesn’t even convey the weight of what we’re seeing.

It's happening on the Apple side as well with their AI system called, “Apple Intelligence.” I've refused to upgrade to the new OS on my phone and MacBook. This just confirms it. Though I'm sure a time will come where there will be no way of avoiding it on Mac or PC.

Hi again, I deleted Microsoft Office at the weekend and refuse point blank to use it any further moving forward and the same goes for apple pages and most of the equivalent of Microsoft office. Some of the equivalent counterparts are based in of all places, China - is this any surprise NOPE🤦‍♀️

Thank you Scott for yet another very informative article....
