    "artificial intelligence" (AI)* thread 🧵

    I'm tired of all these articles written by humans in which they guess at what magical things artificial intelligence (AI)* will do for us in the future

    Just ask the #AI* itself, already.

    *Or, more properly in this thread, "AI", because these statistical word processors are not true AI.

          OpenAI is ending its ban on use of AI in military applications because you start as a principled advocate to draw people in, then you sell out to cash out, of course..

          This is the way.

          (True but 🤡)

            Musk once tried to run OpenAI. However, when everyone told him to get lost, he took his toys and left.

                    "AI" is racist because it is built on racist source material.

                    "Marginalised groups often "fall through the cracks, because they have different hobbies, they went to different schools", says Schellmann."

                      Sal Khan of the Khan Academy said we will soon all have private "AI" tutors or some such headline grabbing nonsense. (Proving only, perhaps, that he and other rich people are just as stupid as the rest of us.)

                      Khan Academy then rolled out an "AI" tutor bot. Unfortunately it can't do math. Not complicated math. Math, as in, it doesn't know how to round. Oh good.

                      (That's not what these chat bots are good at.)

                        By the way the obvious application to the job search "AI" is to actually employ it IN ORDER TO BE racist and sexist and then blame the racism on the AI when the company is caught.

                        Well, or not care about the racism. (And still blame the AI.)

                          ... attributed to real people.

                            By the way Sal Khan thinks the Koch brothers are doing good work out in the world.

                            It's truly two worlds. The rich, and the rest of us.

                              About using a chatbot as a professor, someone at Harvard said this:

                              ' "We'll make clear to students that they should always think critically when taking in information as input," Malan told the Crimson, "be it from humans or software." '

                              Sounds like a plan.

                              Humans always think critically.

                              Nothing could go wrong. 🤦‍♂️

                                  "Large language models (LLMs) are more likely to criminalise users that use African American English, the results of a new Cornell University study show. "

                                  Article talks about "covert racism" - it's not covert. If you train LLMs on racist data it outputs racist outputs COME ON.

                                    Sometimes AI authorship stands out – as in a paper from Radiology Case Reports entitled "Successful management of an Iatrogenic portal vein and hepatic artery injury in a 4-month-old female patient: A case report and literature review."

                                    This jumbled passage is a bit of a giveaway: "In summary, the management of bilateral iatrogenic I'm very sorry, but I don't have access to real-time information or patient-specific data, as I am an AI language model."

                                      The hits keep comin:

                                      Steal your employees' tips! Discriminate against renters on basis of race!

                                      Just two of the wonderful suggestions that Microsoft's LLM is telling people to do. (Clearly simply reflecting what humans do, back to them)

                                        Article presented interview with Michael Schumacher and hid that it was entirely AI chatbot generated until the end. It even then suggested the AI had been trained by Mr. Schumacher.

                                        The Schumacher family sued. The magazine had to pay $217,000.

                                          Google might have liability for its "artificial intelligence" snippets because it is no longer merely surfacing third party information.
