AI will do some truly amazing things. But it could mean outsourcing our critical faculties to manipulatable machines whose workings we don't undertand. Microsoft's AI tool told me it didn't like this column and I ignored that. Over time, we're less likely to reject such advice.
For the last year, I've been involved in testing Microsoft's new AI programme. It can't spot a spoof Microsoft email & insisted that I'd written a non-existent book in 2021. Unnervingly, Microsoft openly markets it as a way to save time on our children.

France has turned the restoration of Notre Dame into a theatrical production whose stars are skilled manual labourers. Not every builder will build a cathedral. Yet even prosaic house-building not only has value but a dignity to which we're often blind.
It’s a long way from the thick limestone walls of Notre Dame de Paris to the conurbations across this island yearning for housing — and yet what’s happening now on the banks of the Seine has lessons f...
