I HATE AI

and avoid all advertisements, products, and promotion of the abomination

Did I tell you the one about the B&B guest from Pakistan, who said hello to my stove?

OK.. no kidding, I hate AI, but my stove is not ‘smart’ it was simply on ‘high’. Haha.

Yesterday, June 6th, 2024, I was hiking along the Erie Canal and found an adorable water turtle. He was so colorful! I confess I brought him home for the afternoon, (we released him later in the day) to show my son who loves turtles, and who needed cheering up.

At one point, I’m alone in my kitchen and put in a landline call to my local pet store, and asked them verbatim → ‘Do you carry turtle food?’

They said ‘yes’, though realizing we’d only have him for a couple of hours, I picked up my cell phone sitting there - to check online, what I might have on hand in the kitchen that a water turtle could eat.

I punched 2 words and one letter into the phone’s GOOGLE box.. ‘What do w….’

IMMEDIATELY, the phone suggested ‘What do water turtles eat?’ !!

That pissed me off, so I have relegated my cell phone to outdoors to stay. From now on. If you can’t get ahold of me, leave a message - I’ll get back to you. (I don’t give out my landline #)

This is in the wake of, some months ago, being in the kitchen with my son and his dad talking about a subject that rarely comes up.. my days as a military Combat Medic - a - 91B. I was sharing how in the 70’s, here upstate New York, my Reserve Unit would do summer camp training with a helicopter evacuation unit out of Bangor Maine. We medics would climb onboard the helicopters being flown for training and fly over ‘Alexandria Bay’, and the ‘Thousand Islands’ north of here. It was awesome.

Just then, our kitchen phone rang. I picked it up and saw this on the screen:

Personally, I resent the loss of privacy in our homes, no matter how benign, or what it might be called. Even if it’s just ‘AI’, and not a real person… In fact, all the worse.

Last year I heard a very interesting video recording a man made of his son speaking to an AI sort of device, I forget if it was ‘IRIS’ .. (oops,. I mean ‘SIRI’) or what. But the thing was answering the kid’s questions, and finally admitted to being a demon.

So you don’t believe in demons? I’ve seen them. I’ve kicked them out of people. And I’ve seen OTHER people kick them out of people. And I believe the Bible that says we not only have the right and authority to do so - WE SHOULD do so.

One thing I do not do, is freely invite them into my house in electronics, devices, refrigerators, televisions, toasters, phones, dolls, or games, or what have you. We have only cell phones (that we know of anyway) that have intrusive capacity.

Sooner later, we’ll get rid of them too. (Sooner most likely)
