Comment on The people like AI because they treat it like a search engine.
snooggums@piefed.world 1 week agoThe thing is, unlike a parent, AI is unable to tell users that it doesn’t know everything and that users should do things on their own.
The world would be a better place if most parents did that ibstead of confidently spewing bigotry, misogyny, and other terrible opinions. I only knew of a few that were able to say ‘I don’t know’ as a kid, and the ratio is about the same with adults.

Blame the Dunning-Kruger effect. The people I have seen most likely to acknowledge their lack of knowledge in a certain area have been those who are very wise and well-versed in at least one field, such as science, History (like my mom), art, etc.
Mediocre people are mostly convinced that they know everything.
