AI makes us smurt

You may have noticed this in yourself or someone else: the trap of using AI and feeling smarter than we really are. Here's the lurking danger of using AI without being aware of what it does.

Not everyone actually wants to heal or find solutions.   Go to www.theforged.org/subscribe [http://www.theforged.org/subscribe] to check out our newsletter. and, if you're looking for The Forged's social media, here it is: Instagram: @become_the_forged Facebook: www.facebook.com/becomeforged [http://www.facebook.com/becomeforged] Youtube: www.youtube.com/@becometheforged [http://www.youtube.com/@becometheforged]
