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

    You know unless we teach more critical thinking, AI is going to destroy us as a civilization in a few generations.

      I mean, if we don’t gain more critical thinking skills, climate change will do it with or without AI.

      I’d almost rather the AI take us out in that case…

      Pretty sure we will destroy ourselves first with war or some other climate disasters first

        Why not both. Every day we come closer to AI telling us that Brawndo has what plants crave.

      I genuinely had students believe that what ChatGPT was feeding them was fact and try to source it in a paper. I stamped out that notion as quick as I could.

          Only studies have shown Wikipedia is overall about as truthful and accurate as as regular encyclopedia. ChtGPT will straight up make shit up but sound so authoritative about it people believe it.

          It used to provide references but it made them up so they had to tweak it to stop doing that.

      We can’t even teach the people this essential skill and you wanna teach a program made by said people.

        I think you misunderstood me. We need to teach the general populace critical thinking so they can correctly judge what we get from ChatGPT (or Wikipeida… or social media, or random youtube video).

      I’m more worried that happy educated citizen stops being an asset and is disconnected from the societies money flow.

      Every country will soon turn in to a “banana republic” and big businesses will eventually own everything.

        Ouch, getting voted down for being totally correct.

        Even MLK Jr, who didn’t get to see the disgusting megacorps of today, spoke often of the complacency of the comfortable.
