Toolerific.ai is a great search engine for AI tools. This is by far the best search engine that I have seen for AI tools in the wealth of search tags that it offers and the amount of info shown for each tool. It indexes 15032 AI Tools, 22419 GPTs, 5585 Open source Tools, 67258 Tasks, 12599 Jobs, and is updated daily. I found this tool using search engine Occamm - you won't find this kind of stuff using a search engine like Google.

Other made-up idioms AI Overview confidently explained were, e.g., "Never spread your Wolverine on a Sunday", "The brightest lamp smells like cheese", and "Seven fire ants for thee, only one for me".

Yes, it's funny. But it also confirms you can't trust what AI tells you. It wasn't developed to tell the truth.

Check, check, and check again.

WIRED · ‘You Can’t Lick a Badger Twice’: Google Failures Highlight a Fundamental AI FlawBy Brian Barrett

"...despite well-intentioned efforts, the decision to use artificial intelligence tools to increase efficiency and support the implementation of migration or asylum management policies and programs often involves jeopardizing or altogether sacrificing individuals’ human rights, including privacy and security, and raises concerns about vulnerability and transparency."

(boilerplate: "migrant" is a misnomer confusing to citizens notionally in control of policy)

SpringerLinkAn eye for an ‘I:’ a critical assessment of artificial intelligence tools in migration and asylum management - Comparative Migration StudiesThe promise of artificial intelligence has been originally to put technology at the service of people utilizing powerful information processors and ‘smart’ algorithms to quickly perform time-consuming data analysis. It soon though became apparent that the capacity of artificial intelligence to scrape and analyze big data would be particularly useful in surveillance policies. In the wider areas of migration and asylum management, increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence tools have been used to register and manage vulnerable populations without much concern about the potential misuses of the data collected and the overall ethical and legal underpinnings of these operations. This article examines three cases in point. The first case investigates the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ decision to deploy a biometric matching engine engaging artificial intelligence to make accessing identification documents easier for both refugees and asylum seekers and the states and organizations they interact with. The second case focuses on the New Zealand government’s introduction of artificial intelligence to improve border security and streamline immigration. The third case looks at data scraping and biometric recognition tools implemented by the United States government to track (and eventually deport) undocumented migrants. The article first shows how states and international organizations are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence tools to support the implementation of their immigration policies and programs. Subsequently, the article also outlines how even despite well-intentioned efforts, the decision to use artificial intelligence tools to increase efficiency and support the implementation of migration or asylum management policies and programs often involves jeopardizing or altogether sacrificing individuals’ human rights, including privacy and security, and raises concerns about vulnerability and transparency.

A call to #universities:
"Apart from #security & #privacy concerns, our alternative-less reliance on #BigTech is fundamentally at odds with public values like #freedom, #independence, #autonomy and #equality. The #digitalservices we use for research and teaching are profoundly shaping our professional practices; the incorporation of #AItools (coPilot) in basic software (MSOffice365), substantially shape our teaching & research and hence impact our professional #autonomy."
