Looks like an easier way to get things done in Windows, if you want it.

I am going to try "Google Assistant" on my windows 10 laptop. I like it on my phone. You just say "Hey Google" and it listens to what you want to do. I use it to search topics. The AI searches the web and can answer some pretty complicated subjects. I don't always agree with what Google answers, but it is fun and interesting as this technology progresses.

As an elder who has since moved after retirement I monitor the 3 main mortuary obituaries where I had resided for 60+ years. Yesterday one of them listed a the passing of a 50 YO woman. I was reading the obit, when I noticed something totally unexpected. It had the charges for the photo including the private information for her son's credit card charges. Name/address/phone number. 16 digit card number, exp date & 3 digit code.
Only thing not listed was his birthdate (but that is easily obtained elsewhere). I called the mortuary immediately, talked to their secretary. Needless to say she was embarrassed & promised to remove it immediately which she did. Technology is great til it ain't. I emailed/him then called his office to warn him & cancel his card. He thanked me along with a followup email. Hopefully I helped avoid a real problem!
AI is not something I trust very much. Separated for the AI fans.

Not sure how AI figured into it. Is that what they said they used for the obit? And, if so, they're the ones providing the info, so it's on them to be correct.

Never said it was AI. I still don't trust it. That statement was added as my personal opinion. It's like stating I believe that facial recognition software & DNA profiles are accurate. Which I don't! Both your computer camera & microphone are hackable, I will not knowingly allow that type of surveillance to invade my privacy.
