General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

The "appropriate services" in question: "talk to your GP," who will either not refer you or will put you on a 10 year waiting list. Don't need an AI system for that.

This sounds exactly like the "Expert Systems" - ie, an interactive flowchart, we had in the 80s. I do wish people would stop labelling everything AI.

AI used to cover a wide field of study, nowadays it seems to be all about the generative models. Oh how we've moved on since that original summer symposium.
