Those two don’t add up. You expose yourself to manipulation and control when you don’t have adequate privacy. If privacy is less of a concern to you, then manipulation equally so too.
- neom 2y agoFor me it's slightly nuanced. Personally, I'm less concerned about yet another attack surface for my personal information from a 3rd party I didn't expect, it's probably all out there anyway. If I gave all my data to an AI company and some hacks in and steals it, for me anyway, I'm less concerned (I realize very many people find that strange/insane). I am considerably more concerned about being psychologically manipulated by an AI tool. I would say however, to your point, it would be shit if someone hacked in, changed or inserted data, and that was use to manipulate the AI, however my sense is that might be difficult/unlikely?
- cj 2y agoScenario: You get bloodwork done. You upload the report to an AI app and ask it for its interpretation. It says you have high cholesterol, low testosterone, and some elevated liver values. The next day you start seeing ads on instagram for GLP-1’s, TRT, cholesterol medication, and supplements to “improve liver function”. It may not be that the AI tool is directly manipulating you. It could simply be that your data is used or incorporated into a new AI personalization model where the manipulation happens outside of the AI tool you originally gave your data to.
- neom 2y agoJust to make it very clear: I am less concerned about my personal information being stolen, hacked, etc. I accept that stuff happens. I tech people how to do that all day every day without AI, we have the tools to do what you described already, and we in fact indeed do what you said already.
