I will learn how to use AI well, and how best to engage with it.<\/p>\r\n<p>In all honesty, I have no desire to receive this training. I think it is unnecessary for me. I have written about this before, but let me repeat myself. I don\u2019t own a computer; nor do I have a smart phone. I have lived my life entirely removed from all digital technology. When it comes to AI, I have never set eyes on it.<\/p>\r\n<p>I will never ever mis-use AI. To begin with, I don\u2019t possess the wherewithal to misuse. What on earth is the point in making someone like me take a course on AI?<\/p>\r\n<p>It is regrettable but we all have to attend the course. Our office hope that we can achieve 100% attendance at our institute. I accept and shall comply. I intend to take this course that is meaningless to me.<\/p>\r\n<p>But is this not really a type of harassment? I would like to ask AI for its opinion: Is it not a form of abuse to have me instructed in AI? I feel inadequate because I lack the ability to even ask such a question.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":2327,"template":"","message_category":[23],"class_list":["post-2329","messages","type-messages","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","message_category-serialization-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/messages\/2329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/messages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/messages"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"message_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message_category?post=2329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
