What do you guys think of AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

My daughter was driving me to a clinic and listening on her cellphone for directions to the clinic. I was talking to my daughter unaware of this. Every once in awhile some woman's voice would pop up and interrupt me. I got so fed up with being interrupted, I loudly said to my daughter, "Would you please shut 'her' up!!" We both got a laugh out of that.
 

AI will have a hard time replacing retired people like me who do nothing. The Italians have a saying “Il dolce far niente” - The Sweetness of Doing Nothing. I can be very, very sweet.
 
I don't like the Google maps voice. It got me lost in Dallas. When there was a delay on the freeway, it told me to take an exit and go down some side streets. The voice didn't know what the real name of some of the streets was, and soon I was lost. The voice can't read the street signs, but can only look at an outdated database. I said, forget it. No more. I'll just stay on the freeway and remember which exit to take, and look at the map to plan my whole route ahead of time. Just like I did in the 1980s. If there's a delay on the freeway, I'll look for a different freeway to take. No more following this annoying voice all over side streets.
 

According to Media Bias, WebMD has a bias rating of "Pro Science" and a factual rating of "High." It doesn't say anything about political bias. But this is the only site I found addressing the issue.
WebMD - Bias and Credibility

It's easy to confuse science or fact as political bias, but that confusblion itself seems to be a political bias, and not a factual one.
:) That may be, I don't recall where I read about their blind lip service to government dictates. I know that I and others don't like them and avoid them accordingly

The Arizona Supreme court just announced that two AI generated news reporters will be reporting news coming out of the Arizona Supreme court.


"PHOENIX — Two AI-generated news reporters will now start informing the public about legal news coming out of the Arizona Supreme Court.

Daniel and Victoria are the names of the two spokespeople that will start popping up in short, informative videos as part of the court’s new AI court reporting initiative.

They’re programmed to give clear and easy-to-understand explanations of complex legal issues, according to a Monday news release from the court."

I don't think that AI is the beast, from a biblical perspective but it does have an influence on our lives. Not so much the program itself as the human response and acceptance of AI's answers. It's easier to accept what the computer spits out. Don't have to think. The job is minimum wage. Not my problem. Therein is the danger. We reach out to resolve a problem and encounter a voice that could care less and can always refer to the computer read out as the answer and there is nothing they can do about it, etc, etc, etc. It all works until it doesn't work.
 
Going forward, I find myself relying on AI for many more things, simply because it's such a time saver, and the majority of the time very accurate. Like almost everyone, we aren't directly in touch with things that happen in the world, nor do we have first hand knowledge of things. Most often we go to the internet to get answers, so it involves trusting the sources we check out.

I asked my AI this question:

How do you decide where to get your information from when I ask you a question?

Here is it's response:

Great question. I rely on a combination of approaches to provide you with the best possible information:
  1. Internal Knowledge: I’m packed with a vast amount of information on various topics that I’ve learned from a diverse range of sources. I draw on that first.
  2. Web Searches: When I need more recent or specific information, I can search the web to pull in accurate and up-to-date details. I aim for reliable and reputable sources, like trusted news outlets, educational institutions, and official sites.
  3. Contextual Understanding: I prioritize sources and information relevant to your query's specific context. My goal is always to make the information tailored and useful for you.

Recently I needed guidance with my taxes. It had all the answers immediately, and they were correct. Also, if I needed anything explained, it could simplify complex topics. Also, I was looking into buying a newer vehicle, and it compared all the ones I asked about, and suggested others with better options and features to consider. It's an amazing resource with instant answers to pretty much everything.
