Hey Robert,

Personally, I wouldn’t trust AI to diagnose PC issues. In my opinion, AI is still a long way off being perfected.

Your best bet for help with Linux is via one of the many forums. Simply search online for a forum which supports your particular distro.

Regarding the AI slop, what about technical advice about my computer? How good is the AI in diagnosing computer problems? I am a former computer programmer (long time ago) and still dabble at it. Recently moved from Microsoft to LInux, as I thought M11 was going to be a headache. Still learning my system. I probably need to ask people, but i don’t know any local. Anyway, some of the AI stuff is good, other is horrible.

Yep unfortunately it is going to get worse before it gets better. I have also noticed a huge number of YouTube sites are now using sensational click bait headlines often bearing little or no resemblance to the actual content. Also more use of Ai-generated voice overlays which is an immediate turn-off for me and, as soon as I recognise it, I don’t go back. It will be interesting to see if Microsoft’s recent promise to allow Users more control over the use or not of Ai in Windows (amongst other promises) comes to pass. I won’t hold me breath.

Cheers
Reg
