“I typed in “global climate change hoax” into several AI. They all come back with “Deniers Refusing to believe the consensus.”

G.I.G.O”

Your “global climate change hoax” was GI. Learn how to write intelligent queries.

Actually, I think that it’s malicious.

Reminds me of the people who went exactly where their GPS told them to, and drove into a lake.

Programs do not have self-awareness or common sense. Ai doesn’t really exist. It is a simulation.

I use Ai a lot -but I know its limitations. I don’t give it a name or à personality. I know it’s a simulation.

The Myth Of Artificial Intelligence is good, its primary point being that big data doesn’t lead to general artificial intelligence. You need deductive, inductive and abductive reasoning, and not enough work is being done on abductive reasoning with big data.

But when you read it, note when it was published. There have been breakthroughs since (it is somewhat dated, 2021 LOL!).

Yeah, I was playing around with ChatGPT just to see how effective it was in synthesizing and collecting information several years ago, so I think I asked it the 10 ten places to eat in Cody, Wyoming. Only the first restaurant was in Cody.

It is overhyped, but has gotten a lot better since you asked about Cody. (Great town!)

I have made several posts showing the limitations and errors of current AI sites. I am seeing it improve continuously. Personally, I stopped using ChatGPT and go with Perplexity or Grok. Grok was especially useful when I could take a picture of a SAS or QSFP cable, and it would do a creditable job of giving me specs on it.

For somethings, it is really good, especially things that could be done with regular Google, but only after numerous searches with manual trimming of results.

That photo at the beginning looks like a live action version of “Oregon Trail”.

If Grand Fenwick doesn’t work out, you could always vacation in Brigadoon ...

People actually tried to book flights to Wakanda?
Fascinating.
