The answer says "any character" not "any characters", so it is still correct.

Buffalo bison that other Buffalo bison bully also bully Buffalo bison.

There are three groups, the bullies, the bullied bullies, and the bullied.

You are ignoring ALL of the of the positive applications of AI from several decades of development, and only focusing on the negative aspects of generative AI.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of some applications:

  • In healthcare as a tool for earlier detection and prevention of certain diseases
  • For anomaly detection in intrusion detection system, protecting web servers
  • Disaster relief for identifying the affected areas and aiding in planning the rescue effort
  • Fall detection in e.g. phones and smartwatches that can alert medical services, especially useful for the elderly.
  • Various forecasting applications that can help plan e.g. production to reduce waste. Etc...

There have even been a lot of good applications of generative AI, e.g. in production, especially for construction, where a generative AI can the functionally same product but with less material, while still maintaining the strength. This reduces cost of manufacturing, and also the environmental impact due to the reduced material usage.

Does AI have its problems? Sure. Is generative AI being misused and abused? Definitely. But just because some applications are useless it doesn't mean that the whole field is.

A hammer can be used to murder someone, that does not mean that all hammers are murder weapons.

I disagree, and would argue that both are about equally frequent. For example, my phone shows °C in the weather widget, while the weather app only uses °. That does not change the fact that the actual unit is °C, and that would not change even if the whole world switched away from °F, and your original comment about the display having °C implying that °F still exists is therefore incorrect.

No, even if you only had one unit for a physical quantity, you would still need to specify that unit to know which physical quantity you are describing. E.g. "That object over there is 15" vs "That object over there is 15 kg".

The symbol for temperature, measured in Celsius, is "°C". It's atomic and can't be separated, since that would result in °, which represents the angle of something, not the temperature, and C, which is the symbol for Coulomb, which measures electric charge.

If it's like the system in Sweden, it's actually ~$400 straight up benefit, and ~$800 in a very favourable (optional) loan with very low interest that is paid back over 25 years.

The source paper is available online, is published in a peer reviewed journal, and has over 600 citations. I'm inclined to believe it.
