This program will do what it's programmers were paid to program into it and so it will lie, obfuscate and make sure anything you get from it has to be tested repeatedly against reality.

In this way it will indeed "change your life" because you will not know what is true and what is lies. So you will have to test everything, wasting a bunch of time.

If you do research on Google, you would be wise to double check the information you find with multiple sources.

The same principle works with AI. Many of them provide sources so you can evaluate the content they provide.

The difference between a search engine and AI is that you carry on a conversation about what you want it to do. You give it feedback and refine would questions as you go along.

BTW, no one can program AI to anticipate every possible question you might ask. That's not the way AI works.

“This program will do what it’s programmers were paid to program into it and so it will lie, obfuscate and make sure anything you get from it has to be tested repeatedly against reality.”

Not quite true, with “AI” it’s not so much what the programmers “programmed” into it, as much as the “learning” or “training” data it was trained on. Though certainly a programmer can indeed game the system, that’s usually not what causes the problems, the bigger problem with generative/predictive “AI” is it will reflect the biases of its training data.

If, for exammple you train your system on say, Published Newspaper Articles from major US newspapers, the overwhelming majority of these articles will have a left wing bias. So, when you ask this trained system a question you will almost certainly get answers that will be biased toward left wing beliefs.

“AI” as its being sold is not intelligences, its simply continual probability/statistical mathematics. There is not “intelligence” behind it.

It can “appear” intelligent, but there is no intelligence behind it at all. If the probability algorithm says this word is the most likely word to follow the word it just output, then that word will be output... Whether that word makes any actual sense in context is not “understood” by the machine at all. The machine no more “understands” what it is doing, than Biden understands what day of the week it is.

I’m sure there’s plenty of new tracking and information gathering hooks into your devices.
