There's still the question of hallucinations, though.You reassure me; I thought I was the only one thinking that. I mean, it's obvious when you know all the people we can pay a few cent to solve captcha (check 20 - work as a captcha solver). They've only evolved to other tasks, like 'draw me a smiling Mona Lisa' or 'make a deepfake video of Musk fighting Zuckerberg'.
Let's found the Generative Ai Sceptical Party - or GASP, which should be the natural reaction after hearing about all this AI nonsense.

That sounds like a plausible explanation. So we have a sound theory.
PS: Shouldn't it be 'Damno quod non intelligo' (1st person singular)?
Maybe. "damne" was suggested by my daughter, who has a master in Latin. I'll check with her again. Maybe there's a difference between classic (antique) Latin and the middle age version of said langauge.

That's mental ... With one image it does all of that.
Microsoft's new AI creates super-realistic talking-head deepfakes, and it made Mona Lisa rap
A new AI model by Microsoft Research Asia, VASA-1, can create incredibly realistic deepfakes based only on a single photograph and one voice sample. The model easily beats anything available today.www.neowin.net

There can be no doubt anymore. AI works.

Phishing attacks up 60 percent driven by AI
A new report reveals a year-on-year increase of nearly 60 percent in global phishing attacks, fueled in part by the proliferation of generative AI-driven schemes such as voice phishing (vishing) and deepfake phishing.

It's because of that great gig in the sky.

Thats pure madness. I cant imagine why a common symbol could be a problem with a database; they should rather look between the chair and the keyboard for the real problem and eliminate it.Originally posted in wrong thread (programming thread):

I'm quite surprised by the linguist's comment, too. Although, when I see how many people mix their its and it's, perhaps it shouldn't surprise me after all.
We had our share of disagreement when the French Academy decided to change the spelling of many words in 1990. But at least the reasons were linguistic.
Indeed. If a computer system had problems with apostrophes, methinks design leaves something to be desired.
Regarding changes of spelling. In Norwegian we prefer to spell most words like we pronounce them. So around 20 years ago "wire" became "vaier", "clutch" became "kløtsj" and so on. Lots of disagreement and noisy protests.
But a hundred years ago, the driver of a car was a "chauffeur", which then changed to "sjåfør" (and several other changes). Lots of protests of course. Today everybody uses the reformed spelling, and I guess few people know how it was originally spelt.

I think it's time to switch to another browser. I initially liked Chrome for its light weight, but it's becoming ugly and overloaded.
