Was talking to a friend the other day about the amount of information we
share online and how our data is sold to companies when we accept ‘cookies.’
How can someone reject cookies? This is the kind of word that makes us smile,
it is embedded in our brains, we want more cookies (with hot chocolate preferably).
Whoever came up with the idea of calling the data collection ‘cookies’ is a
pretty smart person,(and probably fat)!
We have a new platform at work that apparently contains all
our data. I had no interest in exploring it until my boss said that I should
check if the salary information was correct. Dirty trick as that made me look
at all the other tabs and review my information, which I am pretty sure it was her objective.
For some reason my profile was showing my marital status. I clicked
there and searched for the option ‘none of your business’, but there wasn't
such an option so I left it blank.
A couple of minutes later the ‘smart’
platform sent me an email: ‘A To-Do Awaits you: Provide supporting documents
for your personal data change request’
What??? WTF? That's a bit offensive!
Is there a single certificate out there?
Artificial intelligence isn't always that intelligent and
neither is predictive texting.
My phone is a bloody prude who can't spell f***ing
so I end up with duckling which hinders the message and when I write my name ‘he’ autocorrects
it to Abs or Bob...nice!
