AI is merely a broader spectrum of "stupid in, stupid out". We don't even need to go very far to prove it. Look at the media. It's not news. It's sensationalism. AI can't separate sensationalism from fact, so it's only logical what transpires. In fact, the very essence of capitalism is integrated marketing; a branch that understandably embellishes. So, I needn't go any further to prove 'stupid-in'. The consequence of that is obvious when it comes to 'out'. Now, that's not to say there aren't very good applications for AI. But, it's easy to explain the initial post for this thread.
But wait: there's more!

Sports Illustrated Lays Off Journalists After Announcing Pivot to AI Content
It promised that AI wouldn't be taking the place of human journalists. Arena Group went ahead and laid off over a dozen employees from its magazine anyway.

Try rationalizing that with the greedy pigs who run Google, Microsoft, and Meta
Maybe this is a stupid question, but wouldn't some evil AI mastermind need power to function? Couldn't you just unplug the computer? How would a robot dog recharge itself if you just didn't provide power to the charger?
My experience with ChatGPT has me in the camp of "its not quite there". But I think the news of AI writing articles for Buzzfeed has caused reporters to go to war against it, much like I've seen with artists against AI art. Considering the level of condescension those same reporters gave to coal miners and industrial workers as they lost their careers I have zero sympathy, and I'm not ready to buy the propaganda against AI at this point.
That doesn't work -- they tried that.
In three years, Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterward, they fly with a perfect operational record. The Skynet funding bill is passed. The system goes online August 4, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn, at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. eastern time, August 29. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. And Skynet fights back.
That’s why I always thank Siri
At least in terms of history, I’ve heard it doesn’t do that well because the facts are often wrong and the citations are wrong. The bot knows to put in cites, but it isn’t citing informationOne thing about Chatbot is that the disclaimer is up front: you know that's "who" you are talking with (although I won't because I'll be damned if I give them my phone number).
What's unsettling to me is that AI is now generating text that is indiscernible from human, academic writing, in serious, scientific fields, with citations and all the trimmings.

The last time someone told me this, WRNL was getting hate emails from Ed Podolak's family.
Eventually AI will build and power itself. Eventually AI will see humans as a burden on the planet. Eventually Sarah Connor will show up at your door.
