I'm not eligible to vote in your country. In mine, voting is mandatory and there are no stickers, just democracy sausages to aid in the funding for local polling places like schools and community halls.

The thing about free speech is that there's a whole lot of legislation surrounding it. At the moment, every single fediverse instance is run by( a small group of) people, many of them are run by individuals who are legally responsible for the content that's posted on their site.

In addition, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, better known as the DMCA and the General Data Protection Regulation, the GDPR, have requirements for people who own and publish data, like the people who run instances, not to mention privacy acts and myriad other provisions and laws.

Non compliance is very easy and costly, so instances who are aware of this are cautious in what they allow on their instance.

Finally, many instances want to create a community with a social cohesion and associated standards that they, depending on the level, encourage or enforce.

Why any instance bans something at any one time can generally be traced back to these reasons.

Of course there are also instances where it's completely open season. Don't expect these to stick around once lawyers get involved.

It appears that the OP is incapable of discovering Adobe Acrobat.

It's not an app, the technology you described is called a "PDF form".

If you don't have any hair, it won't change colour..

(It's a joke, laugh)

Also, not for nothing, the human body changes daily. I'd recommend that you get used to it before you have an unhappy life pursuing battle against the inevitable.

Not sure how I feel about such a bot. I can see potential security issues arising in relation to stored relationships between users and posts.

I'm fairly sure that the price information shown on a Google Search result page is advertising that comes from a different source than the results do.

As far as I know, you could write a plugin for SearXNG to query suppliers and format the output as required.

I think that Google Shopping might be queried in the same way, but I've never looked into it deeply.

No, you didn't "edit" your mistake, you completely changed the meaning of your response which makes anything after it look absurd.

You originally stated that an algorithm was intelligence, the implication being that using your logic, you thought that a calculator was intelligent.

As far as the meaning of AI, you clearly don't understand the landscape surrounding the hyperbolic assertions made by ignorant journalism about the topic.

Machine learning is one aspect of the landscape, useful as it is, intelligence it is not.

LLM emissions on the other hand appear to emulate enough grammatically correct language to fool many people some of the time, leading to their mistaken belief that what is happening is intelligence rather than, at least from their perspective, magic.

(Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. -- Arthur C. Clarke)

So, intelligence it is not, Assumed Intelligence is what it is, or autocorrect gone uppity if you prefer, an algorithm either way.

Ignorance is bliss..

A.I. means Assumed Intelligence, despite what you might have read elsewhere. Using it to do "research" is how you're going to get first hand experience with so-called "hallucinations".

But you do you..

As opposed to Arabic speakers in the other party?
