My view on Generative AI to date
So far, I am singularly unimpressed with all of the Generative AI
chatbots and search extensions I've experienced to date. The results
are usually bland and poorly worded -- much like an "intelligent
parrot" perhaps, with content obviously lifted en masse from other
websites, likely without their permission in many cases.
More worrisome, these generative AI systems' responses tend to be
scattered with errors (and sometimes utter fantasies) that are woven
in among sometimes accurate information. This is the worst of both
worlds, because scattered misinformation binds itself to accurate
information in ways almost impossible for the casual observer to even
notice.
The possibilities for "misinformation on steroids" in this tech are
enormous and growing. -L
