The word hopefully is holding an Atlas class amount of weight in that sentence.
People are not capable of scaling themselves to the amount of spam, fraud and manipulation AI enables. I don't think a human-like personal tutor is going to counter the tsunami of malicious AI generated content designed to optimally divide and break down the populace.
- Valgrim 4y agoRight now, there is no shortage of fake content on the internet. i'd even say that the vast majority of what's out there is complete bullshit, starting with everything created by the forces of marketing, politics or religion. Despite this, I don't feel drowning in trash. It's really not that hard to filter out the bullshit. Our whole lives, we never had access to the absolute truth, we've always had to assert confidence based on our sense of criticism. If anything, this AI thing will sharpen even more our bullshit detectors, and we'll be better at it.
- bhawks 4y agoToday fake primary sources is mostly due to out-of-context / cherry picked statements and maybe some photoshopped images. It won't be long before we literally will not be able to trust our eyes and ears when we watch a video and it'll quickly get to the point where it will be challenging to know the person you're video conferencing with is who they say they are. At a time where societal trust is so low this technology seems very toxic. I struggle to have a positive mindset on AI when it's promised use case is to help us navigate all the spam, fraud and abuse that other AIs generate.
