  • the specs of an old piece of equipment and how to repair are suspect.

    That’s the most dangerous thing you can ask an AI to do. At best its going to just do a google search for you and then mangle the results. If you ask an AI for the dimensions of a specific product it will get it wrong.

    Someone should make an AI that just googles shit and then shifts through the SEO slop to find original sources.





  • Fortunately not that bad but the people who are using it do get praised while being a massive burden on everyone who has to review the code or worse, documents.

    I did see one clever usage to basically replace most front end devs with AI:

    • client asks LLM question about our data.
    • LLM generates code to query our data and display charts
    • client sees results

    All runs with just mistral:8b. Very flexible solution compared to having front end devs constantly iterate on a UI monstrosity meant to serve every single clients needs. Of course this assumes the AI is writing the query correctly.


  • Wastewater analysis is a real thing and is very useful. People were using it to track covid after the pandemic although idk how accurate it was there.

    The privacy concern here is only if they are getting per-household or per-toilette data. You don’t have to worry about per-household analysis ever happening unless your sewer system is somehow privatized, in which case, lol rip.

    Smart toilets exist and definitely are a massive privacy concern. But they haven’t caught on because only rich weirdos would ever want their toilet to be an iot device.
