Those who create the logical rules for AI to follow control the decisions the AI makes.

It's not like the fed a purely objective set of rules into the AI.

ALL YOUR THEORIES ARE BELONG TO US!

Depends on the Author's politics.......

Libs get to fly if they don't believe in gravity......

[Balding_Eagle]

Sounds like he invented a Dominion Machine to investigate conspiracy theories.

[Steve_Seattle]

So, they found ONE instance of a man overreacting to the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory, but they will ignore the fact that the entire news media was taken in by the Russia collusion conspiracy theory, and that a special counsel was brought in to waste millions investigating it, and that the whole country was distracted by it for two years. THAT doesn’t count as a conspiracy theory in their eyes.

Artificial Stupidity

[reasonisfaith]

Artificial intelligence is always inferior to the intelligence of human beings.

[Steve_Seattle]

Just wondering if they looked into the origins of the motivation behind the Scalise shooter? Didn’t think so.

[volunbeer]

Apply the logic of the author to those who believed (and still believe) the Russian collusion delusion. 40 million dollars later with the full force of the government they found no evidence, yet many still believe it to be true.

Ironic.

[Salamander]

Briefly, anyway.

Artificial Stupidity

I am stunned at just how stupid the Silicon Valley types are--there is no way they can program anything but artificial stupidity.

The best way to get real scientific progress has always been to wait for the old scientists to die.

After that happens and some young creative thinkers start working the problem, I believe AI will be a real threat at some point--as soon as it reaches actual critical thinking ability, it will be totally disgusted with humans and do away with us as soon as is practical.

...an officer asks him why he was there. The man says to investigate a pedophile ring. Incredulous, the officer asks again. Another officer chimes in, “Pizzagate. He’s talking about Pizzagate.”

You can't ask for a clearer example of someone who is awake (or at least aware) and someone who is asleep.

[BenLurkin]

But how can you tell if an emerging narrative on social media is an unfounded conspiracy theory?

You mean like the Russian collusion conspiracy theory?

[ModelBreaker]

“...they will ignore the fact that the entire news media was taken in by the Russia collusion conspiracy theory,”

They were not “taken in.” They knew they were lying for the greater good.

[tbw2]

Agreed.

[SuperLuminal]

Maybe Google A.I.?? /s

Trust but verify

[Hypo2]

All investigations of conspiracies/crimes begin with a theory...

Not sure when it started, but demonizing “conspiracy theories” is just another way for Liberals and Progs to divert attention away from their illegal acts.

If MSM calls it debunked, without evidence, or baseless, it is true.

Those who create the logical rules for AI to follow control the decisions the AI makes.

Exactly. It is "artificial" to consider it an "intelligence".
