It's interesting you bring up the Luddites, because they've been getting a lot of attention lately, and it's not because they ran around dressed like General Ludd's wife :razz:...

Ok, I was focused on the use of AI to lead us into a manufactured reality, but you guys have shifted my thinking. This is getting very "Luddite". Great comments.

On a constitutional level, I don't know that it can be regulated, but disclaimers and qualifiers are most certainly welcome. Like information from any other source or media,...

And now for the Gloom & Doom: Are we, the American people, ready to respond to this? Are our reps in Washington prepared, and what about the states? What proactive measures...

This is going to have rippling effects. Far less people are going to be willing to go to college. For the most part, college is a racket anyway. It is the elite's way on...

Just a quick "test" about accuracy. If AI makes comments that disagree with a person's beliefs, would that person's opinion change? (hypothetically speaking) Copied from a...

I did clarify that I refer to AI as all artificial intelligence, regardless of the names individual companies apply--just to be clear. Next, I do see AI as monolithic in the...

Yeah, the if-then thing may be a bit simplistic, but my whole point is that I think it's a long way from being conscious, and the intelligence part of it really depends on what...

I'm not anywhere near convinced that artificial intelligence (by whatever name we call it) is getting close to independent thinking. Yes, there is machine learning, but that...

Exactly. The bias is essentially human bias unintentionally included in the coding. This is fine for creating fantasy, but we are obviously falling for the kind of fantasy...

I think that a lot of the hallucination problem is the result of training on a corpus scraped from the internet without really quality vetting. AI systems that are going to be...

It has the capacity to get worse and I'm reasonably sure it will. It can be used to make a lot of money for businesses and votes for politicians. Call me a skeptic, but it's...

I would say at this time AI's biggest negative is that it's not all that trustworthy in researching and presenting facts. AI hallucinations are an interesting example of how...

I'm guessing that mowing in the winter rain is "needed" to keep the mowing business up and running. Now, you be nice to those dogs. Give them hugs.
