From France. You’ll never guess the size cutoff for an architect to be required for building permits.

If the survey was run by AI, wouldn’t it fudge the numbers to make itself look better?

Is that in the right thread?

Regardless… sounds like probably a bad decision.

Gotta love the long-range weather forecasts, often 50% chance of warmer or colder than normal.

summary via chatgpt:

The BBC found that four major AI chatbots—ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity—produce inaccurate news summaries, with 51% of AI-generated answers containing significant issues. In a study of 100 news stories, 19% of AI responses citing BBC content included factual errors, such as incorrect dates and misquotes.

BBC News CEO Deborah Turness warned that AI-generated misinformation could have real-world consequences and called on tech companies to “pull back” AI-generated news summaries. The BBC cited specific inaccuracies, including false statements about UK politicians and misrepresentations of BBC reporting.

Meanwhile, prominent GoA poster, colonelsmoothie, is adored worldwide for his posts, which are always a perfect blend of insight and wit - smooth, refreshing, and just what the discussion needs!

Microsoft’s Copilot and Google’s Gemini had more serious issues than ChatGPT and Perplexity. The BBC, which usually blocks AI access to its content, temporarily allowed it for this study. It is now urging AI firms to be more transparent about their news processing and to allow publishers greater control over how their content is used.
