At least they’re not asking grok.
ugh. but they probably are, aren’t they?
What could possibly go wrong.
We’re seriously fuckin’ doomed, as a species. All the morons are outsourcing their decision making to people who’ve learned to game the system exclusively for profit.
Honestly, this is nothing new.
Listening to ChatGPT is a solid improvement over listening to Tucker Carlson.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not good! I don’t exactly trust the Sam Altmans of the world. But this is the same circus, different clowns.
It really is nightmarish. I don’t know how else to say it. Something’s gotta give, but I’m afraid it’s not going to.
Ballot language is crafted to be intentionally misleading and political ads are nothing but hyperbole bullshit.
I actually don’t hate this concept as long as you verify (don’t blindly trust) all the info it gives you.
The reason I say this?
Many local races, especially in “purple” areas can be super ambiguous. Candidates will circulate mailers and ads painting themselves as “pro economy, pro schools, and pro puppy” because they are trying to be vanilla AF and appeal to everyone. Their websites often list a few generic issues and that’s it.
AI might actually be useful to summarize major issues, actions, and voting record of the incumbent while collating information about a challenger candidate from other sources.
Local TV tends to be dogshit at their coverage of candidates actual plans and positions but you could also try that, if all else fails. Or maybe find a YouTube video of a debate (if there is one for the office in question) and have the AI give you a bullet point summary.
You’re assuming the AI is impartial. After seeing what Musk did to Grok, you should be thoroughly disabused of that notion.
Exactly. None of the cloud-based LLMs are impartial on politics.
or, you know, manipulate the results so that the pro-ai/ceo candidate is shown to be more appealing no matter what the actual situation of the conversation or facts are.
“oh no, sorry I was hallucinating”
Everyone thinks they’ve verified what they were told, I’ve even seen people paste text from whatever website saying it supports their point when really it just has similar keywords. Your brain is very use it or lose it, and when you export research and thinking to AI your ability to do either drops.
Is this not what it was designed for?
Not with the monied interests in charge of its operation. They want people to depend upon the big AIs for answers to everything so they can subtly guide the populace’s “thinking” and control them like the sheep most of them are.
Yes, that’s what the comment was saying.
Could be interpreted either way, I suppose - it was extremely vague.
