Interesting article.
AI almost certainly has absorbed some of the wackier conspiracy threads on the web.
Among the wilder ones (and there are so many to choose from) are those which claim that cloning has been used by elites for many decades to replace world leaders.
That is a variation of the “army of Hitler clones” concept from the old movie “The Boys From Brazil”.
Then of course there is “The Matrix” movie which claims that our “reality” is just a construct created by AI.
What these theories have in common is that they are non-falsifiable. That means there is no data which could prove they were wrong.
Folks who have bought in this stuff go in even deeper when “experts” claim they can rebut the non falsifiable doctrine but fail to successfully do so.
This is going to be our new reality soon. Look at how it is affecting the mind already. Wait until it is purposely used as a tool to brainwash. Then there is the control factor. AI will be put in control of everything digital and through these devices and the "Internet of Things" they will literally control our lives from when they want us to get up until they want us to go to sleep.
I wonder what people are asking AI. I generally ask it something about chemistry and it can do a good job. Usually I compare ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini and Perplexity against my own calculations.
Sometimes we all agree, sometimes not. When not you have to check for correctness.
I did get Grok to go insane when I was asking about genes on a specific chromosome. It went nuts and was spewing out answers I knew were incorrect without having to look it up.
