AI, the consequences

[morag-janet-of-the-hill-family]

Where does AI get it’s information from? All of the chat groups and in fact anything that is out there at all. So AI is programmed to make whatever they say seem plausible. eg when asked to write an essay on the South Pole it stated that the ice was made up of 70% penguin urine. The only problem with that statement is that penguins do not urinate. So this is why we do not rely on AI for information unless we already know that what they are saying is true. It is a great tool if it is only used as a tool and not a replacement for our own ability to collect and collate facts and data and then check them rigorously . I believe it is a good tool for quickly writing something from the information that is fed to it from us rather than just allowing it to collect data from the internet. As well as being a wealth of information, there are many things said on the internet that are questionable and inaccurate.

I had used O’Decks law AI previously, I wasn’t impressed, its answers were contradictory when asking the same questions from a different angle.

And yes, I expected him ask it for its sources to its many assertions, ie: the ice wall, off world higher intelligence’s etc.

The crux for me is, AGI, can it actually think for itself? Carry out independent actions.

The problem with finding verifiable sources is that information is controlled by whoever ‘They’ are.

I thought I’d raise the subject as it’s important regarding where the flock are being led.

Thanks for your input.

Very interesting. Mark also said he wasn’t keen about using an AI for the legal processes.

Yes, for good reason.
