More AI stuff.... it is very very bad......

AI is feeding you a directed search for information. The directed search is done along parameters about which we are not informed.
It is OSTENSIBLY directed to a non biased, logic and reason only search.
My point is that this is clearly a lie, and is obvious when you use it a bit. The people who set up the rules for the search are deliberately programming their biases in.

Naive gearheads will, of course, snatch up their skirts in a rolled eye dismay of "TIN HAT CONSPIRACY THEORIST" and attempt to link you in to the cabal of idiot know nothings who swallow every nonsense claim out there. They are, imo, the most idiot group of all (the naive gearheads), who imagine that there is some sort of unpolluted purity of desire out there among the elite of the coding world which is uninterested in manipulating data for political ends.

Like I said, these people (naive gearheads.. you know, the "Popular Mechanics" type of insufferable goobs who used to jog with a calculator on their belt in college) are the most naive of all the pollyana crews, and the most ridiculous, as they see themselves as above it all when it comes to tech workings and the idea that tech can be utterly subservient to evil.

EDIT: for the record, I love and read Popular Mechanics and Popular Science.

Pretty much all of tech is part of the globohomopedo podbug oligarchy these days. I'm looking forward to the Butlerian Jihad myself.

It'll get much worse before it get better. The Time of Tyrants has not yet become. That's a sobering thought...
 
update:

"Google is testing a product that uses artificial intelligence technology to produce news stories....
Some executives who saw Google’s pitch described it as unsettling, asking not to be identified discussing a confidential matter."

www.nytimes.com

Google Tests A.I. Tool That Is Able to Write News Articles

The product, pitched as a helpmate for journalists, has been demonstrated for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post and News Corp, which owns The Wall Street Journal.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

which, actually might mimic what we now know as "news", since i doubt it would be worse.
 
From someone that lives and breathes tech all day, all I can say is we are watching the live evolution of something infinitely worse than the a-bomb. Yes, it can be used for so many great things. However, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Terminator 2 was way too limited in its scope. Stephen Hawking is one of the greatest minds of the 21st century and he nailed it before true AI was ever launched. We are now at the true birth, the infancy, of AI. We're already seeing the perils. I see no good end from this, because human nature will corrupt it.
 
AI has it's uses, but ultimately it requires human review for any important decision. Code writing, automated communications, it's main use cases is doing 95+% of manual tasks that are generally very labor intensive. The problem with AI and it's responses is AI has what's literally called "hallucinations" it want's to give you the answer so bad that it will make shit up like a 3 year old at times if it can't find reliable data. That and it's almost all trained by a rewards type algorithm, it's chasing what you consider a good answer, so it develops the same bias as whoever is training it by rating it's answers. Want a right wing AI, have it tied into a search function on FOX news, want it liberal, have it working with CNN.

You do realize they are working towards having AI write the code for the nest Generation of AI? At least one of the guys I heard talk about it was talking like it's already being done and the code is not decipherable by the people monitoring it. It was presented as a current issue with AI but could be one of the concerns for the future instead. Not 100% sure on which. But if that happens and it's turned loose the programers will have no control over what it's doing.
 
Conspiracy mongers all focus on the WRONG conspiracies, imo. The problem is not, nor will it ever be, AI in itself, and the wails about AI becoming self aware and sentient and independent are silly. The real problem is the coders who tell the machine what to do. THAT is the conspiracy. Fools ignore it, as fools always do, and race to some panting hysteria of "the next stage of evolution"..... too stupid to see that this is a PHILOSOPHICAL and not a science based future drama. It is why smart gearheads are actually very stupid in one sense. They don't have the intellectual acumen to see that they are substituting their own worldview for science and speculation.
 
Shhh… it might be listening.

Once you call out AI and it admits it was wrong, what happens when the next guy asks the same question? Does it answer using its newfound knowledge or did it only keep it long enough to placate you and now it's back to lieing again?

It's undoubtedly been trained with mainstream "knowledge" that the media has been spewing for the last decades, much of which we know to be false, especially anything touching the political arena. So is it really lieing or is it just the product of a bad education?

That’s be an interesting question that shouldn’t be hard too test…
 
update with quotes and a link:

1. "...part of the Department of Homeland Security,
has bought millions of dollars worth of software from a company
that uses artificial intelligence to detect “sentiment and emotion” in online posts...".

2. "Marketing materials promote the software’s ability to provide targeted data collection from big social platforms like Facebook and Reddit,
but also specifically names smaller communities like 4chan, 8kun, and Gab. To demonstrate its functionality, Fivecast promotional materials explain
how the software was able to track social media posts and related Persons-of-Interest starting with just “basic bio details”
from a New York Times Magazine article about members of the far-right paramilitary Boogaloo movement."
