AI Is Just Software – Not Some Sentient Miracle
Artificial intelligence is not a miracle. It’s not a digital god or a living brain that’s about to rewrite human evolution. It’s software. Clever software, sure, but still software. It doesn’t feel, it doesn’t think, and it certainly doesn’t “know” anything. It predicts. It guesses based on patterns. That’s it. AI Is Just Software, Not…

China’s AI Hospital – No Real Patients. But The Future?
In Summary: China’s Tsinghua University launched what they’re calling the world’s first AI hospital, but it’s not treating real patients. Agent Hospital is a completely virtual simulation where AI agents play doctors, nurses, and patients in a closed digital loop. The system now has 42 AI doctors across 21 specialties achieving 93% diagnostic accuracy on…

The Great ChatGPT Prompting Delusion (Gurus and BS)
Apparently, there are “secret tricks” to talking to AI now. Hidden words, frameworks, magical commands that make ChatGPT write like Shakespeare on a caffeine rush. Funny thing, though (well, funny in a not so funny kind of way) I don’t use any of them, and somehow, my stuff still turns out better than a lot…

Bots, Automations and AI Don’t Build Trust. People Do.
Tech companies love shiny promises. Meta’s latest play, “Business AI”, is the new box-ticking wonder: a customisable sales agent that bolts onto your website, plugs into Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram, and promises higher conversions with “stress-free” setup. They tell you it learns from your social posts, your ads, your content. They tell you it’ll chat…

The YouTube Audiobook Circle of Slop
If you feel like YouTube has quietly filled your recommendations with soulless “audiobooks” read by lifeless robot voices, you’re not imagining it. You’re watching a new content racket evolve in real time, and it runs on low effort, AI tools, and platforms that pretend to care about “authenticity” while cashing the ad cheques. This is…

The Internet Is Getting Bigger… and Somehow Worse
Today I tried to solve a tiny, a rather technical and boring problem: a cryptic Facebook “About this content” panel nagging that it “could not find a Facebook Page” for my own domain. It was bollocks really because the domain has existed for more than a decade (almost 16 years in fact) and is 100%…

AI Slop is Not New, Just Industrialised
The behaviour came first, the label arrived later. For many years, lazy and shady people have been building “channels” by scraping other people’s clips, Reddit posts, pet videos, podcast moments and news footage, then stitching them into compilations with a new title, thumbnail and maybe a watermark. AI simply took that lazy mentality and put…

The Quiet Mess Behind “Smart” Doorbell Cameras
The tech companies want you to believe your fifty quid door camera makes you safer. In reality, you might be installing a 24/7 surveillance device for other people’s benefit, handing out free intelligence to burglars, and feeding a data machine that knows more about your life than your neighbours do. This isn’t tinfoil hat stuff.…

Losing Grip on Reality in the Age of AI
Welcome to the era where your toaster might be smarter than your boss, and your phone knows you better than your own mother. AI isn’t creeping in quietly anymore. It’s kicked the bloody door down, raided the fridge, and is now rewriting the rulebook while we sit there blinking like confused meerkats wondering when it…

Cursor Ai Sonnet – The Future is Here – Or is it?
The future is here. Apparently. Or are we just clutching at straws, hoping for the best, because, let’s be honest, these AI tools aren’t (yet) as good as they claim to be, are they? Oh, they promise the world. Revolutionising industries, making our lives easier, doing things “better” than we ever could. And yet here…
