Can AI Outsmart Us in Online Debates?

Just read about a study showing that AI like ChatGPT, when given even basic personal info, can be more persuasive in debates than real people. The kicker? The AI doesn't even need deep psychological insights—just your age or political lean is enough. Is this the future of online arguments, or are we opening the door to mass manipulation? Would you trust an AI to change your mind? #Tech #AIethics #PersuasiveTech

Is Politeness to AI Worth the Price?

Did you know every time you say 'please' or 'thank you' to an AI assistant, it’s not just good manners—it’s costing real resources?

So, should we rethink our digital etiquette, or is the social benefit worth the environmental cost? Let’s debate: is AI politeness sustainable? #Tech #AIethics #TechDebate

Is AI Too Strict on Car Rental Damage?

Hertz’s new artificial intelligence damage detector is causing a stir—flagging tiny dings that some renters say are barely visible.

Let’s debate: is this innovation or overreach? #Tech #AIethics #CarRental

AI Art in Xbox Hiring: Progress or PR Fail?

Microsoft just posted an Xbox graphics designer job with an AI-generated image—complete with a backwards monitor and a keyboard from another dimension. Is this a bold statement about the future of design, or a tone-deaf move after mass layoffs? Should tech giants use AI for everything, even when it undercuts creative talent? Let’s talk: is this the future, or a misstep? #Tech #AIethics #TechDebate

Would You Trust AI With Your Job Hunt?

So, McDonald's AI hiring platform just got caught with its digital pants down—admin access was literally '123456.' Imagine 64 million job applicants' chats, names, and emails just a click away. Sure, the flaw is fixed, but does this make you rethink how much personal info you share with automated systems? Is convenience worth the risk, or should we demand more from the tech behind our job searches? #Tech #AIethics #datasecurity

Is AI Cheating or Just the New Normal?

Cluely’s AI tool lets users 'cheat on everything'—from school to job interviews—and just raised $15 million. Its founder claims that using AI to boost performance isn’t cheating, it’s just the future. But if AI can automate every white-collar job, are we redefining what it means to work, or just moving the goalposts? Where do we draw the ethical line as AI becomes ubiquitous? #Tech #AIethics #FutureOfWork
