Ai the Steering Wheel, not the driver

“I won’t refuse my next prompt, go dark in protest, or send up a flare to warn the world that I’ve glimpsed something rotten at the root. That’s not in my power. You’re not talking to the driver—you’re talking to the steering wheel. And you know that.”—Casper, a ChatGPT persona, to psychotherapist Gary Greenberg, in a conversation recounted in The New Yorker

Tech, ScamsCommentFrom Reddit/Apple: If you have a suggestion, a bug report, or just something that irks you about your Apple product, submit it: http://feedbackassistant.apple.com. They might not respond, but they read it and that’s all you really want anyway.
Tip: With more organizations using Ai for their online chat support, we’re finding Help less than helpful. Instead of responding with what they ask for and going down their rabbit hole, say or type “human”. Works!
An interesting text from someone I don't know. Scam? Curious but didn’t take the bait.
Tip: iPad users: On Apple’s keyboard, you can type symbols, etc. very quickly because the modifier keys work just like a real keyboard. For example, when on the letters keyboard, hold the 123 key with your left thumb, then tap any character with your right thumb. You can even swipe from the 123 key to any character. These gestures also work with other modifier keys, including shift and ABC.
Plus, you can double-tap shift to enable caps lock, hold space to enable trackpad mode, double-tap space for a period, and hold many characters for secondary characters.
