Google’s AI-driven Search Generative Experience have been generating results that are downright weird and evil, ie slavery’s positives.

    Incorrect. If we are relying on AI as our ONLY source of information then we are doomed. We should always fact check things we believe we know and seek additional information on topics we are researching. Especially if they offer opposing factual positions.

    Ironically though you’ve just proven that you think at only a surface level.

      Yay yet another person saying that primary information sources should be verified using secondary information sources. Yes, you’re right it’s great actually that in your vision of the future everyone will have to be a part time research assistant to have any chance of knowing anything about anything because all of their sources will be rubbish.

      And that’s definitely a thing people will do, instead of just leaning into occultism, conspiratorial thinking, and group think in alternating shifts.

      All I have to say is thank fuck Wikipedia exists.

      ai ain’t going to be much “worse” or “better” than humans.

      but re earlier points I don’t think things should be judged on a timescale of a few years.
      relevant timescales are more like generation(s) to me.

      Nobody said we were relying on that. We’ll all keep searching. We’ll all keep hoping it will bring abundance, as opposed to every other tech revolution since farming. I can only think at the surface level though. I definitely have not been in the science field for 25 years.
