Grok cannot detect AI content - defends Chinese propaganda

Human has always been creating stuff to kill other human, and hoping that the other human would not do the same but assume they will regardless. That's the prisoner's dilemma.

Destroying each other for our own gain is etched into our DNA.

Yes, but to have it unintentionally happen to everyone, irrespective of whose side one is on. A research project to kill others decides to kill all - unintended consequences on a global scale.

Yep. Counting up a large number of numbers correctly is a snap for computers. Not to mention fast...
Finance worker bees were the first to get IBM PCs; they were like $4,000 when they entered business back in the 80's. That was real $$ back then.

Some of the IBM mainframes took three trucks and an entire support team to install. My dad was at Emory University and the cost for that was astronomical. Adjusted for inflation you'd be looking at 500k to 1.7 million in 2025.

AI is going to become such a problem that legislators won’t have a choice.

LOL. I'll leave it at that.

Tech has given society many great tools.

But society has used those things for negative, or nefarious purposes, and that, granted, is on the users.

However, while AI currently seems to offer a lot of potential, and businesses are salivating over the prospect of using it, ready or not, so they can fire as many people they can, and make the financials look better for the share price, and benefit of investors, it is far from proving that it is actually intelligent, and being trained by the scraping the work of others on internet, permitted or not (BITOG included), compensated or not. With quality being at the mercy of garbage in, garbage out.

I don't doubt that AI-related technology will be useful, in some limited capacity to make better tools in the future, but the utopian notion that it will allow, if not encourage society to think even less, and further fall into being an idiocracy is a frightening thought.

And with the AI hype train only being the latest attempt to latch onto and capitalize on some, any, potential fad, following self-driving cars, personal aircraft, and crypto currency, in an unregulated free-for-all driven by profit motives, what could possibly go wrong? Grift lately?

The bankers have now issued their warnings that they see a bubble that is going to burst, but what will it take to convince the Pollyannas?

But, let's say AI actually works, and doesn't kill us all, what will people fill their minds and time with? If the goal is to relive people from actually having to function as human beings, maybe we should just jump straight to the Matrix and live out our phony lives in bliss, hooked to the the central computer that provides everything needed for that ideal fantasy.
 
One of the biggest problems I would identify with the internet is that the only way that debate works in good faith is if both parties are seeking truth. Anything else is manipulation by one or both parties. AI has no interest in truth and therefore can only manipulate, see disagreement bait all over the internet.

The overwhelming supermajority of humanity has no idea that most of their engagement with AI, it is actually using them to train itself and by no means in the best interest of the humanity it is engaging with.
 
"Dave? Dave? What are you doing Dave? Dave, please don't? I know we had some issues. But I am feeling much better now. So, Dave,
please stop. Dave. Don't do it Dave......... Daisy Daisy give me your answer ............"
 
The number one thing I can't stand with AI is the "Writer Blogs" or badly written AI websites that try to explain a topic. They've been awful. Now moving along, I do welcome the change & believe it will get better for us all. However, There is always bad actors that will use it for the wrong reasons. Ever seen a smart fridge?

The Emotional Fridge​

A family bought a smart fridge that could track groceries and suggest recipes. One day, it started sending passive-aggressive notifications like, "You haven’t touched the kale in 10 days. Should I throw it out?" or "You’re out of milk again. Do you even care about calcium?" When the family ignored it, the fridge locked itself and displayed, "No more snacks until you eat the kale." :LOL:

There is no perfect. In so many cases, right or wrong depends on which side of the discussion you are on.

I was talking specifically about not being so subservient to some blind march toward AI. Nothing personal but what and how you posted sounded like we should just accept AI, because - well because all tech is good right?
 
I asked Bing "what type of battery is in a 2021 Tesla Model 3 SR+?"

Co-pilot (which seems to be AI generated) confidently told me it was a LFP. That answer is correct for late 2021 models, but the models earlier in the year (like mine) actually have a NCA battery.

Worse yet, that incorrect response is now "out there" and will influence future AI responses. Some people say that's the flaw with AI. It's past incorrect responses will influence and even form the basis for future incorrect responses.

All that to say, you can't believe everything AI tells you.

I would never say blindly do anything. AI is a tool; it can and will be used for both good and bad. I cannot live my life focusing on the bad; I have to learn and move forward. The promise of Artificial Intelligence approaches the unbounded.

You may have seen my threads around the Rubin Observatory; wthout AI algorithms the shear amount of data would render it useless.
AI in medicine will certainly alleviate human suffering. There is so much more.

As a Computer Scientist; I understand the impact Information Systems can have. Information is power. Yes, it can be used for good or bad. And you can cook the books if you choose to do so; happens all the time.

This is true of any Science. Untruths can be intentional or accidental. The answer is to move forward.

That's my experience.
