Cabbage futures speculator on the Daikon Prairie. I post mainly random stuff about life in Tokyo/Japan, as and when the mood takes me and/or I have too many pictures on my phone.

How I feel right now about the British/ 🇬🇧English( whatever) political landscape is that some one wrapped in a Union Jack could whack me over the head with a flag pole & the BBC would shove a microphone in my face asking why I provoked the attacker & the Home Sec would invite the attacker for tea .

And if you must *use* these things, enter instructions as commands, not requests or questions. Do not delude yourself these need to be treated like humans. Do not "thank" the byte generator. Do not address it by "name". Do not list it as a "Co-Author" in commit messages.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

TV: spends the last month or two warning drivers about the dangers of driving cars into floodwaters after the previous floods. Cars on TV this morning: "Let me just drive into this water of unknown depth wit other immobile cars stuck in it".
