AI with Hanna Fry

I've just watched the first two episodes of this on BBC iPlayer and it's quite an eye opener! Hannah is very good, she reminds me slightly of a female Louis Theroux in the second episode.
First episode is on AI chatbotts (some weirdos involved) the second on self driving cars, and that's the worrying one for me as a driver in London where they want to launch the Waymo system on us all

Well worth a watch.

I'll watch it just for Hannah Fry. She is the best thing to have come out of Harlow since the M11.

I saw something on Facebook which I assumed was slop until I tried it myself.

Fire up ChatGPT and ask:

I need to wash my car. The car wash is 250 metres away. Should I drive or walk?

Bear in mind, this must have been asked many times by now.
If anyone has access to a proper 'AI' other than a toy one like ChatGPT, I would be curious how it responds.
