A friend sent me this the other day asking, "what the actual F*CK is this from Al??".
He was asking AI if it was legal to hunt deer with a glock 20. Almost every single word is incorrect. Please DONT trust AI for anything important.

First of all, you absolutely CAN use a handgun for deer in NYS. You absolutely CAN use a glock 20.
No, glock 20 is NOT "too powerful" for hunting deer. In fact, it may be the least "powerful" I would use.
Imaging, a 10mm is "too powerful", but a 30-06 is just fine.

Most importantly, you cannot EVER use a 22 rim fire for deer. You will be fined and maybe jailed.

Yea ran into a similar result this morning
All this is about control and censorship

In its algorithmic efforts to be “helpful” AI has been more of a challenge than an asset in my recent search attempts.

It is “trained” on a lot of garbage as well as good stuff, and it doesn’t know which is which.

But, ask the question a different way.
Same exact AI, but a different question. NOW it says you CAN use a handgun for deer hunting.
Ive been handgun hunting white tail deer in NYS sinse 1992 when I got my pistol permit.
I have no idea where AI got the idea you cannot use a handgun for deer in NYS in the previous post. AI scrapes the internet for answers. Where did they "learn" that pistols were not allowed, and 10mm is "too powerful"? Just goofy, with possible legal ramifications.

It’s all topsy turvy and crooked
I just saw 3 topless women and sexually explicit on YouTube today and I’m not even logged in
This world is very strange

Yeah there are many smart people in the industry that actually believe it is only now going to get dumber because of over saturation. By some accounts the internet has now already reached a majority of content being created and regurgitated by bots... bots even arguing with bots about something a bot/AI posted (See "Dead-Internet Theory")

The BASIC idea of the way these things are programmed is using self regulating feedback loops (I used to program veryyy rudimentary versions of this for PID circuit control systems). Essentially many AI programmers aren't actually programmers at all. They're more akin to what you'd call trainers. They program feedback loops, then scale those feedback loops across thousands or millions of nodes (neural network). This creates a sort of "black box" program that they then feed information into and rate the effectiveness (in their opinion) of the output. This causes what's inside the black box to constantly change as it regulates its own code in order to "please" the trainer more.

Anyway, so with that in mind, think about what happens if you let these monster feedback loops loose on the web. Well, first off, a significant amount of info the REAL people of the internet post is dubious already... but now it isn't scraping info from people. It's scraping info from an AI that got scraped from another AI that got scraped from another AI that got scraped from a person.

TLDR; AI is already starting to reach the point of catastrophic information loss... Try going to your printer (I'm sure as an artist you already know this concept too well) and taking a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy, of a photocopy... the first couple are okay but as you progress you'll find them getting worse in quality... grainy, faint, etc. And not linearly worse.. EXPONENTIALLY worse.

Perhaps that is why even though the AI has "never been better" the previously most profitable companies on earth are risking bankruptcy in order to build out ever more hungry hardware infrastructure in a blind arms race to the bottom... you'd think that it would only be getting more power/energy efficient as it gets "better"
Who knows though.. I'm technically not even a "real" engineer.. only a lowly technologist

Check this one out - it’s correcting a search error that I never made

 

[Sig]

I just asked AI why AI is wrong a lot.
I have to say, the AI is very aware of its shortcomings. It lists a dozen reasons why AI can give incorrect information.
This may be ONE area where AI is superior to humans!

Something deep must be off if after untold trillions of exposures to a language and its grammar, AI fails to catch things like "Don't waist your money" when it creates ad copy or headers. Desktop spell checkers had no problem with that sort of thing forty years ago.

 

[Servant King]

I'm no fan of AI by any stretch of the imagination, but the fact is, all these now exposed flaws merely connect right back to the flaws inherent in the programmers of the AI.

Point of origin, folks!

AI is not sentient, and never will be. But it will successfully assimilate (and, by extension, destroy) many of the iPhones-formerly-known-as-humans in the process.

And, at the risk of sounding excessively morbid and/or unsympathetic, I say...good riddance.

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

AI told me it was illegal to fish with cut bait in Alabama.

Also told me it was illegal to chum with corn for carp.

Both incorrect.

It's almost like "they" want us to underestimate their computers.

Like the video of the robot falling down... yeah right. I'm supposed to believe that robots are clumsy... even after the most powerful government ever has been building them for 100 years.

All that being said... the idea of the computers being sentient is just silly, and "they" really want us to to believe that shit, for some reason.

If you think AI is a good thing, I'm sorry to tell you but it's not. As more time passes, it only gets more and more advanced. An AI generated video from the past looks like vomit on a screen, now it can pass as static CCTV footage. The implications of it could be disastrous, fake AI video being used in court cases, more advanced blackmail campaigns, even disrupting job workplaces. Granted it would need to be believed for it to be effective, but now every video ever filmed has a shade of doubt cast over it. We can't believe it just because we see it on video anymore.

Moreover, its hitting college campuses like how drugs hit inner city slums. Trying to have a conversation with anyone below the age of 20 is a test of patience and civility. They refer to it for every question that plagues their minds and take it as gospel even when its been factually wrong in the past. What's even more frustrating is professors using it to grade papers that are subpar at best and passing along students who are not sufficiently educated in the class. Students use AI to write papers and professors use AI to grade papers; so really, what are students paying for? A paper that says they are smart enough to phrase questions to a machine to get a favorable outcome?

Even in my field of study, its becoming increasingly noticeable that students do not know how to write despite being an English major, moreover, they lack reading comprehension skills which terrifies me to no end. We've noticed humans attention spans shrinking after the invention of the Internet. Now we say goodbye to the average humans critical thinking skills, reading comprehension skills, reasoning skills, and worst of all essay writing skills.

The reading comprehension skill is a joke. Ever since I can remember in school, 3rdgrade. The teachers were all a out "creative" interpretation of what was written. All based on politics and "personal feelings".
