[Misc] Are you pro or anti AI?

[JetsetJimbo]

Oh those dastardly Chinese people, censoring their AI. You'd never catch American tech bros doing that. Why, only yesterday I came across this example from Google's AI.

Also, anyone asking an AI questions like these (the one below, or about Tiananmen Square) instead of just Googling is really not getting this. I'm less worried about the tech itself, and more worried about people who think it's actually thinking about things and speaking to them rather than just guessing what word comes next.

Interesting interpretation.

The character itself was a racist stereotype

I think AI is a good thing overall, but the bad thing about it is the risk of people not doing their own critical thinking and forming their own opinions as to whether the information they have actually received is right, wrong, biased etc

I remember being told at school that just because something is in print, it doesn’t mean it is correct.

The amount of information and disinformation nowadays is astronomical with media and social media and it makes it really difficult to work out what is actually correct and why the information is being provided.

I think AI is good in providing facts quickly but I hope it doesn’t stop people doing their own analysis, forming their own opinions or fact checking.

As Einstein famously said, 99% of facts on the internet are made up.

Technology good, people in charge of using it probably bad, thus probably bad.
