'Heard on the news..
McDonald's is removing it from drive;up orders
as 'it' has been getting s-o-o many orders wrong.
Hearing the mistakes made..was laughable.
Not even close to what was ordered.🙄

To use AI it will be better than humans or we won't use it. When we do and it makes mistakes we will catch some and some we won't. Not much different than every thing man has invented. How bout the internal combustion engine? :)
 

Update:
listening to a talk show
Dr.Jerome R.Corsi (PhD) NY Times Best sellimg Author and American conspicory theorist
stated "Ai can be flawedd and biased"

Opinions!
 
I can't tell you how many wrong answers I get from Google Nest Home Hub... it gets on my nerves.. it just takes the first answer it finds on google, and repeats it like it's fact...

I also have Amazon Echo..( Alexa)... that's miles better, but still it gets thing wrong occasionally...

Is anyone really expecting a search engine to be 100% correct the whole time? Biased? Absolutely.
 
i don't think ai is as perfect as they'd like us to believe. evidence alone in artwork when the ai produces a picture of human being with deformed hands or an extra leg. i think they need to get rid of it.
 
People get it wrong too. 😉🤭😂

I’m confident that AI will improve over time and that it will always be a bit of a double edge sword where it will be used to improve our lives and the lives of scammers and criminals.

At first the internet didn’t seem believable, and is still something of a mess, but I wouldn’t want to live without it.

I use duckduckgo as my browser and on its first page it has Duck.ai
When I click on that, it gives me four AI options to choose from. I use the chatgpt version. It also has Llama and others. I did catch an error when I asked it questions about playing the violin and where the elbow goes when hitting the high notes and it said up, and it should have said down. I corrected it and it thanked me.
 
AI is still just a computer. So called algorithms give it instructions for accessing and correlating data. Of course it can compute faster than any human. But it can only follow the algorithm and needs an instruction set for every instance. It fails miserably when trying to use the algorithm to find answers that it does not already possess a solution for.

It is flat out horrible at trying to figure out a new or uncertain problem. It sucks for figuring out things on the fly, most humans are much better at this. There are too many variables in the universe for a rigid, super calculating, massive data base machine to think outside it's programming parameters with any real competence.

Just because it is capable of faking a conversation does not make it self aware or sentient. Not a Commander Data.

Although I have discovered AI flaws, I still take it's response into consideration because it often provides a strong supporting link, which I check to determine the validity.
 
I have a calculator that is pretty good. It can do complex math problems far faster than I. Square roots are easy for it. So are huge division problems such as 39745.32 divided by 27.4. But, I also have some mental math skills and I check to ensure that the answer it gives me is reasonable.

AI is in the same bucket as my calculator.

I've gotten more wrong AI answers online than I can count. I was thrilled to recently read a tip: If you type "-AI" after your search terms (in Google, at least), no AI results will pop up. What a relief!

As humans we tend to run to everything new, and treat it like the best invention since sliced bread. It is flawed from the beginning, since it's man made. I tend to avoid it as much as possible.

I try to shun AI whenever possible, AI is just not-ready-for-primetime yet. But AI is being incorporated everywhere now, the other day my doctor used an AI tool to transcribe my appointment, listening to our verbal exchange and entering in text form to my medical record.

Ya' know... when I first read you post; I thought that might be a great resource/tool for a doctor...
but then thought that considering what AI does for auto-correct and Closed-Captioning in the way of spelling errors*...
that could be very dangerous. IDK.

Obviously whether or not it's great depends on how it's used. The arrest last year of a high school athletic director who used AI to generate an impersonation of the school principle that hundreds of people believed is concerning. If a high school athletic director successfully fooled so many people using AI tech he found by searching the internet, think of how it will be misused by people with better resources.

I read the Visit Notes and found them to be well written and accurate...I'm impressed. For years the Visit Notes from various doctors were very brief, not informative and sometimes just simply inaccurate.
 
I like playing with AI and use it for simple programming tasks or ask it search questions. But I really like messing with it. I asked Chat GPT if a certain bush was a native species and it said that it was, which was true, it was native.

But I told AI that that it was wrong and Chat GPT apologized and said of course it wasn't native. Then I told it actually it was native which caused AI to get defensive and start arguing with me.

AI even quoted the webpage of the Massachusetts department of agriculture saying it wasn't a native species. I looked at that website which clearly stated it was native. I told AI it was wrong and then AI actually told me that it had just gotten off the phone with the Dept of agriculture and they confirmed it wasn't a native species.

I replied that it was 9pm and the Dept of agriculture was closed and it replied that it hadn't actually called them but it was sure they would have agreed that it wasn't a native species if it had called them.

AI is far from ready to be making important decisions that affect people's lives which it is starting to be used for. It may never be ready.

Or like the unpleasant test I had 5 years ago which it's just now been discovered that the doctor's notes never made it into the computer and my chart. So now I have to have the test again.
