@rvallee well said. There's also the worrying trend lately how LLM's are being trained on data from Twitter, Reddit, Facebook and so on. I can't see better results coming from that either! Already people are getting injured or even probably killed by believing bad advice from AI. There has to be better ways to develop AI than the way it's been done at the moment! There's so much potential in it if it's done good. Perhaps not basing AI on human intelligence? Don't know how that could be done and if that would benefit us though.
We have this weird system here in Finland that you can get sickness benefits for only 1 year continuously. After that you either have to get disability benefits accepted or you have to register to the employment office and seek continuosly full-time employment. It's even formally told that we really are expected to do that (seek employment) even if we are disabled and unable to work while we apply for disability. In other words, it's a magic trick for how to make sick people look like they're just unemployed work seekers. And definately getting at least statistics wrong. Also unfairly making sick people have to "confess" that they're well enough to seek for jobs.
Which brings me to the less known third option that I'm personally guilty of using. If we're not able to get any kind of benefits, including employment benefits, then we are by law eligible for social security benefits which should be enough for rent, food etc. For basic living that is. So I refused to play their game and to register to employment office so I'm getting social security. Sure they keep sending me letters where they always remind me that I'm required to seek employment and failure to do that could result in them cutting my benefits for 20%(or 40% in some cases) for 1-2 months at a time blahblah. I've ignored everything for about 3 years now in which time they've only twice cut my benefits by 20% for 1 month.
Funny thing in that is that social security benefits are taxfree. For unemployment benefits you pay tax, probably around that 20%. So I'm actually getting better than if I'd do how they want us to do. Also in their way there would be the added burden of having to send job applications every month and prove that to them. Also possible benefit cuts for refusing to accept a job if offered. Of course the best course of action for everyone would just be to have a working disability benefit system! But probably someone is benefiting for the ridiculous system that we have now so we have what we have..
Probably a bit similar in other Nordic countries too?
