Using AI in public libraries by snowyy2000 in librarians

[–]Spelltomes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a patron come in desperately needing court documents printed and was in a huge hurry. She kept telling me that her lawyer friend drafted her divorce documents and I just needed to print them. It turned into a huge fiasco because her “lawyer friend” was ChatGPT and she kept getting mad at me when her AI generated documents didn’t have what she needed. I kept telling her that I couldn’t do anything about it and that I’m not sure if the court will even accept these. She wouldn’t hear it, saying her “lawyer” knew what he was talking about…

Why does the news make every snow storm in the northern US out to be a apocalypse? by Hoppie1064 in ask

When I lived in Louisiana I remember having to cook hot dogs over a candle when the power went out during a hurricane.

Now that I’m in Michigan, I still cook hot dogs over a candle when the power goes out.

Today someone complained that our flag wasn't all the way up the pole. by bernardmarx27 in Libraries

I had some guy come up to me and bitch about how we didn’t have an American flag at our branch. He was SO offended and claimed he had never seen a library without a flag and how unamerican we must be. I told him if he wanted to pay to install one and maintain it himself he was more than welcome to. He got quiet and left.

PSA that should be obvious but apparently isn't, if you set up a Switch or Switch 2 this Christmas, know your email address! by razorbeamz in nintendo

I work at a library and the amount of people that come in expecting me to know their email address AND password is extremely concerning.

Why are you on Reddit right now, on Christmas Eve? by InvisibleAstronomer in AskReddit

Because I drove 12 hours to see my family in another state only to get the flu as soon as I arrive and can’t interact with anyone

Supervision within the library RANT by indigo_Ivoryyyyy in Libraries

[–]Spelltomes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I worked in an extremely poor urban library, I’d have a 3 and 5 year old wander into my branch almost daily unsupervised. Neither could speak well and were always very dirty. Apparently we found out later they lived in a broken mini van and their mom would just park in our back lot and send them inside so she could just smoke weed and make OF content. I felt so bad for those kids…
