This morning I tried to print from my Windows desktop and Windows listed the printers I can target. Included in the list was an unknown HP printer! Checking the Control Panel and sure enough the list of printers included a HP device. Now here is the thing:
Years ago, in the days of XP, I bought a HP scanner. When Windows 7 came out, the scanner driver was incompatible with 7 and HP refused to provide a driver for Win 7. So since that time HP products were banned from our house. There is no HP printer in our house or connected to our network!
Why did Windows install a totally unknown HP printer on my machine, probably with the last update? 
I managed to remove the printer from my setup, but this really p**** me off.
Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

Are you connected via rdp to somewhere, or were you at some recent before? Modern windows will attempt to autocreate printer it finds on the remote lan.
Barring That, get a mac.

The first thought of mine was also printer redirection by RDP

No. No connections via rdp.
Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

I think one response to one of my posts was probably just my post reworded by an AI.

You need to be a journalist. The vast majority of information only comes from a few sources. Most papers just buy news service stories rather than do anything real.
Technically, I'd lean toward AI helping lawmakers in general. Write up a bill, toss it into the AI, and ask, "Is this stupid?" "What might be the unintended consequences?"

Someday I surmise that some tyrannical legislation will get drafted such as the elimination of a people group, and simply claim that AI wrote it so A: It must be accepted as correct and B: The human legislative body can just get it's diabolical way without accountability.

well, I haven't seen anything outlawing a people group (some that are close), but we've got beau coupe tyrannical legislation here in the US without AI. It hides behind the bureaucracy.

I'm not sure how that is "scary." And I am not defending AI just trying to maintain a point about perspective. How is this different than having a team of speech writers generate the speech?
This is going on in colleges and universities across the world. My real concern is that having to do research, organize your thoughts, express it in an intelligent fashion, actually learn to think is being killed off by internet resources be they AI or websites that offer papers.
There is very real combat going on in this area (reminds me of my electronic warfare days). First the sites appeared where you can buy papers. Then sites appeared where you can feed in papers to see if they were plagiarized. Now we have sites that re-work papers so they aren't detected as being plagiarized. Meanwhile, more idiots graduate from college, because education is not the point.

I agree, the system is churning out more idiots than ever to many others detriment. The scary part comes in (look at the link) where statements were made that is false, the bearer however believes these as fact which in turn make others believe it to be true, he is the president after all...

Long time ago I have quit responding to insulting or off the subjects posts / replies...
As they often say old western movies - that is my opinion and MY BUSINESS...
I am at a dilemma in responding to helpful replies...
After I responded, thanking for the help , I have received
private message - instructing me how to modify my profile to gain "gold stars " "privileges"...
I did not read the message in details - but it suggested to add my ZIP code to my profile ...
I am tempted to reply and ask if they need my shoe size...

That sounds like a spammer has got to you. I doubt any proper member here would make such a suggestion. If it is a known member then I suggest you report them privately to Sean or Chris.

Yip, as stated, probably a spammer or a senior member as only gold and above to certain members will allow them to access the 'private message' module.
Your help on the site is obviously appreciated as we all spend our own private time in enhancing the site, teaching and also learning from other members, keep it up!

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
