On the internet there are people who post videos of one thing, like a riot, and then say it's another more recent riot.
And then your racist facebook uncle promotes it.
This is just a little more personal and and it's obscurity allows it to ruin a person's life faster.
Like when internet people said some other person was the Boston Marathon Bomber.

"Oh this horrible thing is happening."
Is it going to kill me in the next few hours.
"It might! It might!"
Eh, give it a day to see if it is even real.

Here in Australia just the other week when a guy killed several people at a shopping mall we had a news network identify a completely innocent guy as the killer and broadcast his name and photo nationwide: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-26/man-wrongly-identified-bondi-junction-attacker-seven-settles/103772376

He sued the gently caress out of them and they immediately settled out of court for a undisclosed sum, but it would have been an astronomical amount of money

Note that their “source” for this story was a well known pro-Russian Twitter troll who was intentionally spreading antisemitic propaganda.

A more relevant Australian AI story was a couple of months back, when a different national news network let Photoshop’s AI retouching tool tweak an image of a female politician for a news story. The tool helpfully gave her larger breasts and turned her dress into a midriff top: https://amp.abc.net.au/article/103403664

Eliza passed the turing test for a while because humans had no idea how terminal chat rooms were supposed to work. A Rolodex of nice grammatical well spelled therapy blather was leagues ahead of any rando stuck in front of a keyboard.

I think we're going through a very similar phenomenon of LLM appearing they know how to research better than people and people are going to figure out how to do better with lower level tools soon enough.

Ed Zitron's latest article is him taking a big poo poo on Sam Altman. it's pretty good (or at least entertaining to see someone dunk on Altman)

quote:

Much like ChatGPT, Altman is capable only of loosely approximating the output requested, because at his core he lacks any of the substance or technical history required to do so. Like ChatGPT, he’s a know-nothing that, through deterministic measures completely detached from the meaning of the underlying ideas, picks the right words to say at the right time.

And this is the man selling the artificial intelligence dream — a salesman capable of superficial connection of ideas in a way that’s initially satisfying, as long as you don’t think about it too much.

My Copilot presentation/training was interesting. It's got power if it can do what they say it can and will be able to do soon (that is, have native connectors to most O365 apps). This will trivialize some jobs and make others much easier than they are now, but it's the wild west with very few checks, especially in regards to quality output and security. I'm of the mind I better learn how to use it (and/or its cousins) now before it becomes commonplace.
