Let me know if you require any help. I'm around this evening.

If we want people to use their own voices, we need to understand what they're getting out of allowing #AI to speak for them (which in essence is always AI speaking pretending to have one's best interests at heart which is a laughable falsehood)

It also occurs to me that correcting someone when they do speak for themselves - inexpertly or haltingly or confusingly - is a fairly large wound to their self-esteem.

That fear of a lack of eloquence, I think, also drives people to AI.

I think one reason is that most chat bots are designed to encourage users to believe that they are 'working together'. This is utterly false, but it credits the user with work they aren't doing, which feels good.

Another could be that, despite all the outlets for personal expression, it is very easy to feel like one's voice isn't heard and doesn't matter. In that case, what does it matter if one's voice is being usurped.

Have you got any theories?

Well, you may enjoy that kind of a super rural life. Some people really do.

Oh. hmmm. Not my idea of ideal. But it could be yours!

It's very exciting though!

Maybe we're late.

The irony is that the only person who might - might - stop it is Xi.

The only leader not pretending to be head of a democracy.
