Has anyone else noticed that if you search for a Z4 problem, Google reports an AI solution at the top of the search results...?

Problem with all this AI stuff is what is real and what isn't.

I'm really not likeing how people are recreating famous people, the likes of John Lennon etc and applying music they never even sang and posting the rubbish on Instagram etc Why?

I can see AI has its uses but it really needs restricting.

To be fair the black american founder thing was an experiment google were trying to remove bias from the learning algorithms, of course some groups on the internet turn it into something else. It is a great tool in business for summarising information in certain instances, great for time saving, but yes it does pull down things that dont exist which is why at the moment human element is required. AI is a tool, not a replacement, for people, it has the ability in the longer term to save so much time and effort around menial tasks.

Scary :cry:
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.
