My Google AI experiment

[Highway Man]

An early one was where a poster had muddled the concepts of self-defence and provocation in assault cases. I couldn't stand the thought of going through pages arguing something where I knew for certain I was correct. So, I just asked Google AI what the difference was, and that seemed to end the debate. I have asked mainly factual things like that since. For instance, yesterday several posters were claiming that illegal immigrants committed more crime pro rata than US citizens. It is a debate we have had before and I knew they were wrong. So, instead of researching it all again and posting lots of links, I just asked Google AI a neutral factual question. But I received a lot of pushback.

You might as well sit in your chair talking to Alexa as have no input from yourself on a forum. Think on...

You must obviously mean, constantly or consistently wrong?

I missed this post before!

It reads like an ego, or a lack of self confidence. But his posts are very, very good and I enjoy reading them.

I think he gets frustrated people can’t take the time to absorb the information in them. Hence Ai

I think he’s one of your best and most consistent posters at the min.

I agree hes probably moved upto number 7

I have watched hundreds of US cop shows where words like hot and in the pipe are common. That is where I learnt those phrases. I did have to Google the more in depth information, such as about that particular model of pistol. But I am sure most posters would have to do that. It would be a very boring forum if we all had to rely on what we thought we already knew. But it might explain a lot of your posts

I thought weapons hot meant the safety was off.

I recall a harrier pilot once telling me that they delivered ordinance at low altitude and I stupidly said I thought you’d use a cargo plane for that.

He then explained what delivering ordinance was.

I think he missed the point that all illegal immigrants have broken the law.

Are you able to count?

So are we going to stay away from Google AI in the future starting right now?

Are you able to count?

Why

 

[Highway Man]

Why

I have already given the stats, you are saying a. totally different number..Think on....

I am not going to make any more AI Overview posts. It was just an experiment and I can see it was deeply unpopular.

But I will still use the internet, when required, to check things. Will that be OK with you!

Yes I will allow that as normal behaviour, you have gone from 184 back to 57
