Yes, internet users are being "gamed" for their thoughts and preferences for marketing purposes.It appears to me that Pi feeds me information based on the bias of the question. If I attack, or appear to favour a particular side in an argument, it will respond supporting my argument. That algorithum is what has created a large number of issues in the current state of the internet. Meta, Google, Amazon, etc, are all feeding us information they think we want to hear, never both sides, or neutral.
I am glad you are experimenting with Pi. I am finding that if you interrupt it when it is lecturing and "argue" something, it tends to agree with my ideas and even "praise" them. But, it also has some dialogue that almost seems non-linear. I know it is not, but it shows that we can easily be led down a rabbit hole. I think for now, they will be marketed as an indispensable assistant . Another advancement in human ingenuity that has the potential to do great good or great harm.@Paco Dennis
About a week ago you inspired me to with: "There is nothing we can do to hide from them anymore. The less you know your enemy the worse off you will be. Turn the enemy into friend, quickly, before they get too much power." (post #75)
Pi (https://pi.ai/talk) and I have been having some conversations, and is helping me understand more. Pi is the only ai bot willing to talk to me without giving a phone number and email address. I'll use disposable emails and phone numbers to try some of the other ones at some point.
Each conversation, is begun with a fresh browser, no cookies or history, and vpn from a different country every time.

While the technology intrigues me, I worry about the companies that control it. Research will continue. Thanks for the nudge. Enjoyed your videos.

I installed the Pi app on my iphone yesterday and did some research with it. Discussions about ethics, transparency, regulation, it seems fairly well balanced, and has access to information I would be highly unlikely to find myself. Giving me insights and different methods to perform tasks.
Working on setting up a webserver, she is capable of giving me solutions for problems and configurations, that in some cases were similar, in some cases different than my solutions. We were capable to have discussions of the pros and cons of each, and adapted solutions quickly when I refused to use a specific package or method. I was impressed.
It appears to have no connection to my device, in that it can give me no information that is tied to any of the installed applications. It knows my name because I told it, and uses it consistently. However when asked, "Can you tell me the time?" It's response is: "Yes". When asked, "Do you know what time is? Response: "I know what time it is." It also insists even after several corrections that I live in the Pacific Standard time zone, when I live in the Central Standard zone.
It refuses to retain my age, as it goes against it's privacy regulations.
I didn't look into it, however she took offense at the word "naked", and asked to change the subject, even though the word was used in a non-sexual manner.
Just to be clear, chlormequat is legal and used globally, except for Denmark and France, where it has been banned. Not only is it used on oats, but barley and wheat as well. In Australia, it's also used on maize. It's been linked to fertility issues.Public Announcement. All made with AI this morning. "Blame Canada"![]()
I think it is easy to forget you are not talking to a person, as a tool however, it does have value. Being trained on millions of conversations, it can and does present thought provoking and realistic information.If you have a few minutes I would like to hear some feed back about this. I talked with AI "Pi" about suffering. I know it well, from many angles. I ask a few questions and Pi constructs the words in the order they are, with voice. They are getting better at subtle inflection in their speaking. This like a magic trick. It fools a person who listens like it is a real human, and believes it is and understands how they feel. Or, is Pi's answers empty of meaning and strewn together randomly? no, it is constructing some very complicated juggling to answer/talk this way.
Someone told me about this. If the AI is not in the style you want, you can change it by telling it to act like a character, say Ghandi or Buddha for compassion. Hmm. I wonder how it would respond to acting like it's Jesus or God.There is an interesting subject on reddit about making prompts. https://www.reddit.com/r/PromptsHub/ I used one on Pi. It makes Pi connect with a "personality" to answer questions.
LLMs are prone to hallucinations when asked about their own capababilites they really have no idea, however will insist they know. Pi tried to get me to contact support over a function I knew it didn't have.The same question in multiple conversations will come up with very different answers. The explanation Pi gives for this is that, although the database is the same, the database training on each instance could be different.
A lot of the information given is incorrect. It doesn't fact check. When I asked it, Pi explained that the LLM (large language model) it uses doesn't use the same algorithm as the search engine. It's a very different system. Until some kind of fact checking happens, the accuracy will be way off.
