    “We told people before, and after, to be careful, that the AI is going to be (or was) biased, and nothing helped,” Naaman said. “Their attitudes about the issues still shifted.”

    Every assist is always turned off. Autofill is no friend to me. If I can't write it, I ain't writing it.

    Like, since I was 6.

      It's very obvious when it tries to sway your opinion too.
      Some people are easy to manipulate though

          "We wanted to rigorously test whether risky behaviors, such as confirming delusional beliefs, assuming clinical authority, or gradually eroding boundaries, can emerge through multi-turn interactions," so Youyou Cheng, first author.

          "By demonstrating that such failures do occur and can be systematically elicited, the paper establishes the need for structured safeguards…"

            I read a very important advice in a book about three decades ago: never trust something that talks to you when you can't see where it has its brain.

            I'd have never thought it applicable to daily life. But - there you go...

            Whenever a business offers sth to alleviate my life, my first question always is: what's in it for them?

              @mrgtwentythree @gregeganSF If you want to just lie down in the shit and die, go ahead. The rest of us don't see passively accepting fascist conditioning as okay, though.

                    @gregeganSF All this ”AI progress” flies in the face of everything we know about human consciousness.

                    We don’t use writing merely to communicate our intents. Writing is a part of ’realising’ what are intents were in the first place.

                      @gregeganSF This seems like it might be connected to a previously known phenomenon:
                      If you lure internet trolls into saying they respect others, it reduces their propensity for abuse.

                      Because on some level they don't want to disagree with their own words.

                      Except here the words are those of a bot. But perhaps they are still falling under that umbrella.

                          I've always turned off Auto complete & now auto suggest on my phone, but do use the spellchecker. The Grammar checker is also off as it's pointless on limited size messages.

                              @gregeganSF Friedrich Nietsche, in 1882: ,,Unser Schreibzeug arbeitet mit an unseren Gedanken.'' (That's roughly ''Our writing tool contributes to the work on our thoughts.'') So he wrote as he had become one of the first users of the newly invented typewriter. The device helped him since he had poor eyesight at the time.

                              What are autoocmplete and AI helping us with, and what are we poor at? In the end, it's just tools we use for writing, right?

                              More of a parallel: He didn't buy the typewriter device by himself, but his sister got him one, understanding that it might help him. -- These days, we feel like we're being given the tool, rather than deciding for using it.

                              Less of a parallel: Nietsche found the device helpful for him.

                              (https://www.klassik-stiftung.de/en/home/digital/collection-highlights/friedrich-nietzsches-writing-ball/ -- https://archive.org/details/schreibkugel01)

                                @gregeganSF So autocomplete is no longer just guessing the word you are currently typing? What is it doing now, filling in whole sentences? Paragraphs?

                                I literally have not used autocomplete in maybe a decade. I always immediately turn it off on any device or program I use, before doing anything else, because I found it so annoying.

                                Fuck AI.

                                  @gregeganSF All this ”AI progress” flies in the face of everything we know about human consciousness.

                                  We don’t use writing merely to communicate our intents. Writing is a part of ’realising’ what are intents were in the first place.

                                      @gregeganSF This is what I have always been concerned with and is why I have never used any auto-complete, well before LLMs arrived.

                                      It doesn't even need to be insidious, we instinctively pick up cues. Every time Microsoft re-enables auto-complete on my Outlook account, I can feel my writing change until I diable it. Maybe my writing could change for the better, but if I do not like how AI writes, why would I want to be influenced by it?

                                      That said I also do not trust these companies at all.

                                          @gregeganSF this is in line with research showing that implicit bias training doesn't actually reduce bias
