@jerry Ah, this was quite some time ago; this is just a summary of the incident.

@GossiTheDog Yep. Which is why I don't have a Microsoft account, don't back up recovery keys to the cloud, or use BitLocker in the first place.

@GossiTheDog As usual, the truth is somewhere between the two extremes.

*When* I've used AI, it has saved me considerable time. But I have used it *rarely* - only in those cases, when I *knew* that it would save me time. If I had to worth with AI every day, all the time, it would probably waste more time than it would save - because I'd have to constantly check its mistakes.

The point I am trying to make is that AI *is* useful but it has *niche* application. It's a tool, not a cure-all. People should be *taught* when using it is beneficial - which is by far not all the time. And it definitely shouldn't be stuffed into every app and web site.
