  AI is built on historical data, and the gist is that it takes that and constructs a model of probability and then takes current context and says "this is probably the answer" with a dice roll thrown in to make this seem more human... that's in essence how ChatGPT and other LLMs (which are currently accepted as "AI") function.

  It should be obvious to all that they can only say "this is probably the answer based on what has been historically the answer"... meaning that institutional racism, ableism, sexism... this is all baked in and will be reinforced.

  Yep!

  Hi,
  Looking to buy the house I'm currently living in.
  Landlord is abroad and we deal via agency.
  Would like to go private with them (landlord) and I might have a way to get their contacts.

  But how would you go with offers etc?
  Any hints?
