Comment on Experts Alarmed as ChatGPT Users Developing Bizarre Delusions
pulsewidth@lemmy.world 2 days agoJust grab a dictionary or crack open the Wikipedia article to see what a ‘conspiracy theory’ is, because what you’re talking about isn’t one.
Billionaires have been building doomsday prepper fantasy islands/compounds/bunkers/silos for themselves ever since the mega-rich existed. New Zealand has been the locale of choice for quite some time, it’s not a theory (it’s fact), nor a conspiracy (multiple rich people buying private jets isn’t a conspiracy either), nor is it a secret (multiple major news articles have covered it for nearly a decade).

Ehhh… Your whole point made no sense, and not just the conspiracy theory comment.
“Dismissing the power of this tool is exactly what the owners want you to do”? Really? The tool these same owners are spruiking as the ‘biggest development in computing in the last 20 years’ is something they are trying to downplay? The thing the silicon valley elites are all clamouring to buy stock in and won’t stop cramming into their products as the headline feature is intended to be dismissed? What?
AI isn’t needed for your example of keeping up with news and connecting dots of larger stories - that’s what good journalism is for. Your bunker example has been in the news repeatedly for a long time. It is hard for everyone to be informed of news as it comes though, personally I use a variety of reputable news outlets and still miss stuff. As others said though AI is not the best choice for keeping abreast of news because it can straight make stuff up, and that includes inventing sources for its claims so that they sound more believable - which is really bad if your aim is to be better informed. They also have inbuilt biases and topics that they won’t broach or will have canned responses for, set by their billionaire owners - much like legacy media, so they’re not a secret shortcut to the truth.
