Anyone who believes that "AI" is a real thing that serves a function, should be instantly disqualified from government service. This includes Mark Carney.

The minor harm of this is all that money will come directly out of real public services, which Carney is cutting across the board. The major harm is that, since he is paying for "AI" products, there is a severe risk someone, somewhere in the government, will actually use them. The potential harms of THAT are unbounded

Called it. Canadian Federal Government partners with Cohere to build out AI in the public service. Cohere is 75% behind on their published revenue targets for this year. Here comes the government to bail them out. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/artificial-intelligence-public-service-cohere #cdnpoli

@mcc It's already here too.

From an earlier post:
The Canada Revenue Agency (tax collector) just laid off thousands of staff, mostly call centre folks. Meanwhile they've been working with this tool called TaxGPT 😭... You can imagine how that's coming along.

If you go to the CRA subreddit, it's all people trying to get through to a human on the phone.

The recommendation is now to call your MP for help. I don't think we have a choice but to inundate their phone lines.
