The discussion of AI "consciousness" always recedes into a semantic fog. It's not alive. It's not thinking. Anthropormorphizing software does not benefit our understanding, only it's marketing. ECREE (Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence) There has been no evidence of consciousness, extraordinary or otherwise. Everything else is rhetorical nonsense.

Someone is not learning from history.

This is such an obvious conflict of interest. They know Confluence is full of proprietary information. They are violating their client's trust https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/18/atlassians_new_data_c...

This is not impossible but the detail level here is somewhere between vague and secretive. It reads like a marketing peice intended to sell more AI.

It writes code okay, scaling up to pretty well depending on the model. It's writing is boring but serviceable for corporate communicative content you don't care about. It's images are ugly. It's music is repetitive and dull.

I think the biggest problem with LLMs is that they were perfected and are shockingly good at writing code. And based on that, AI engineers, who find writing code to be hard/rewarding, have decided it can do anything. And it's proving more and more that it cannot.

Unfortunately the Business Class has decided it does everything fine enough as to not cause riots, so we're all getting it shoved into our shit anyway.

I'm waiting for an LLM to start an MLM.
