Guessing

This morning when I was opening windows to try to cool a Minergie building that was designed for cold winters that no longer exist I had a thought. That thought was that AI is nothing but a glorified photocopier.

What I mean by this is that at the moment AI companies are buying tens of thousands, if not millions of books, removing the spine, scanning the books and then pulping the remains. In so doing Ai companies are hoovering enormous amounts of data and destroying books that could be donated to libraries, schools, universities and more.

Recently I started playing Wordle again and I have a win streak of thirty four days. Now that I have written this down I will lose it within a day or two, for being too confident. Some people have been playing for over 1000 days and I would assume that within two or three guesses they will get the right word.

I am not that fast. I followed some programming courses on Linkedin Learning, Udemy and one or two other places so as I played wordle I thought “what if I use a tool to help me eliminate words. At first I tried using AI for this task but AI is not good at such chores.
