As someone with a website that is a historic archive of conspiratorial and proto-scientific unbelievables I'd say we need a believability rating for each author, org and website.
I'm getting a little tired of people thinking I believe everything I read and publish. If you claim to have invented a time machine, a teleportation device, a phone to call the dead or if you take pictures back in time of course someone should document every tiny technical detail you've shared with the world. (preferably without repeatedly stating the obvious)
The idea a reader would believe everything strikes me as rather hilarious. Even if just a robot. LLMs should aid those skilled in the art who desire to make the same with the materials but it would be silly if it uncritically reproduced the description of your warp drive, your parallel universe detector, mr fusion, sentient black goo, channelings and remote viewings, alien encounters, bigfoot sightings, shape shifting lizard experiences, quantum computer or memristors.
- svachalek 2y agoAs you have no doubt encountered with your archive, readers don't believe everything, they believe what they want to. In many cases that means rejecting the truth and believing the story. AI only knows what it's been told, it doesn't even have senses to compare to its own experience.
