I see nothing wrong there. Everyone knows that up is down, in is out, left is right, and whatever you read on the interwebz must be true.

Objective truth has been completely sacrificed at the altar of confirmation bias.

Thank you, public education system, for completely erasing the nurturing and development of critical thinking skills, and thank you, AI, for picking up the ball and carrying that erasure forward.

Idiocracy wasn’t simply a movie… it was a prophecy.

Now where did I put my can of Brawndo?

If this is genuine question, then obviously in this case the "AI" just summarized whatever results your search yielded.
If this is a troll post, then sure, "AI lol".

George, you have way too much time on your hands🤔


Your implication being that the AI "thing" is a trivial matter.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Billions---literally billions---of people live their lives every day connected to the Internet and use it as their primary reference. They make decisions about all manner of things based upon what they see there.

Suddenly, practically overnight, unless someone already knows a subject from personal experience, they cannot tell which answer(s) to their questions are correct.

The errors---and the follow-on "snowball effect" compounding of errors---that will translate into real life problems is unlimited.

No, your assumption is incorrect. I just meant you post stuff I would never even think of looking into.🤔 A pyramid of motorcycles????

Ah. Got it.

Yeah, the "stacked marching motorcycles" thing was tangential.

For whatever reason YouTube fed me a clip of an Indian parade, and being a one-time motorcycle rider I watched it. Then I thought I saw telltales of mannequins / dummies being used in the formations.

Asked Goggle if it was true or not, and got the two answers I posted.

I’m already fooling the boomers in my family with AI videos, very soon most people wont be able to tell the difference, then the real problems will begin.

Same statement/implicit question, two unconditional opposite answers:

Well, you did materially alter the query. One uses “dummies”, which might infer a judgement regarding the intelligence of those individuals participating in creating a physically dangerous formation, and “dummy” which suggests the use of an artificial stand in to complete the formation.

AI is way too stoopid to meaningfully parse fine distinctions and either provide several logical interpretations or to suggest a best case analysis, and Sapiens are way too stoopid to parse the cause for the difference.

In brief, we is fucked.

It's a relief that the Federal Government is hamstringing State's ability to put guardrails on AI. The benefits in safety, predictive shopping and social credit are sure to trickle down to all of us.

"To win, United States AI companies must be free to innovate without cumbersome regulation. But excessive State regulation thwarts this imperative."

After all, the facial recognition technology used to analyze the smartphone infrared beams scanning our faces takes a lot of processing power. [LINK1] 2017? Say hello to 2025... [LINK2]
