My Google AI experiment

[MNW67]

As many have noticed, over the past few weeks, I have been posting a lot of answers from Google AI.

I was never trying to use Google AI to 'win' an argument. My hope was that, by asking neutral questions, it might provide the basis for a better discussion. I often get frustrated by the style of debate on here. There hardly ever seems to be any middle ground.

TBH I thought, strictly as regards the answers Google AI produced, it actually worked really well. Instead of everyone having to read lots of articles and watch tiresome videos to get up to speed, I thought a neat and balanced summary of the main points was often produced. My idea was other posters might take some of those points and run with them.

But I have got a strong feeling that it hasn't been popular so far.

All that does is on the whole dumb down the general population and get them to rely on getting their 'knowledge' from the 'best'/most expensive AI bots...

Back in the day it was called research...

But it appears that people continue to get more lazy and as recent events show, simply rely on the outcome that 'supports' their often very limited and already formed 'opinions'...

It is indeed Ar*e Injected 'knowledge'!

Not really following this thread as such, but I use ChatGpt to find out answers and plan things. It’s brilliant!!

Ai as you’ve said is very neutral

The current level of debate on here is usually pretty poor. Often there are many pages of what seems like endless gainsaying.

I thought that using the Google AI might help in some situations, just to sort out the basics where the facts shouldn't be in dispute, so that the discussion could move on more productively.

There’s a lot of petty arguments that always detract from the threads topic, and stops it from going forward imho.

Not that I’ve much to say, but I stay out of most things now.

Are you saying he posts like google Ai?

He used to be a decent poster until he started with this AI, he has slipped from the ranking of 68 to 154 since.

He’s still a very good contributor. The forums just a playground now.

Well I wouldn't tell him that as lately he has become a bit of a show off and tends to talk a lot about himself and nobody likes a showoff

But what are the facts? ChatGPT admits it can't distinguish between fact and fiction!

As others have said. The AI aims to please and it doesn't care about the quality of a source. It doesn't know if a question is bias, it just goes off trying to confirm it. Unless people have written articles addressing the bias it will happily show you what you want to see.

My questions are always neutral and, even then, I always phrase them three different ways as a test. The answers come out pretty much the same.

The main conclusion I have reached is that people don't actually want to see simple facts, because that prevents the endless pages of gainsaying.

And yet still some people revert to what they are told given that it reinforces their core beliefs...

As recent topics show, the 'best'/most expensive bot is all that is needed to fool the gullible
