LLMs/AI is just bad software. It's not ready for prime time. It is full of errors. Any normal software package that exhibited the kind of errors “AI” does would be yanked off the shelf and re-worked.
AI is a scam.

#Wuschgutschein ist auch so ein #Scam.
Statt die Gutscheine einfach in den teilnehmenden Geschäften einlösen zu können, muss man die erst auf der Website für den jeweiligen Shop aktivieren, dabei drei Datensammelfenster wegklicken, um schlussendlich doch noch ein paar Daten eingeben zu müs…

Ist halt verdächtig, wenn ein "wir konnten Ihr Paket heute nicht zustellen, bitte klicken Sie hier für einen neuen Termin" an eine E-Mail-Adresse kommt, die ich nie, nie, nie für Bestellungen benutze 😀 #scam

PSA: Wood boxes with slits that are marketed as "butterfly houses" are purely decorative. Multiple studies have confirmed that butterflies never use them. But paper wasps (Polistes) do, which is not great for butterfly populations because these wasps hunt caterpillars. Plus they sting, so not great for humans walking by. #butterflies #scam #insects #nature #garden #lepidoptera #wasps

Whizz Air have this scam where they have a smaller under-seat-bag test than all the other airlines.
So when you head there with your standard under-seat bag that you use everywhere else, and that fits fine under the seat in reality,, they still make you pay another 70 euros for it to go in overhead just because it won't fit in their super-tiny extra-small testing bay.
The plane was half empty too, so it not like they really super needed to ration the overhead space.
If you're flying Wizz Air, maybe don't, and certainly make sure to note they have this small-bag scam going on.

A million investors lost a total of $3.8B on Trump #crypto.
While he made $800M on the back of those losses.
Because he made money whenever anyone traded the token regardless of the price.
Not at all a #scam. 🙄
