AI Chat Bots Are Just Data Regurgitators

avatar

There is a growing concern over the use of AI chat bots for content generation. It's understandable, and the growing dependence on AI is even more concerning. People lack a basic understanding of what AI is and does.

The Core of AI Chat Bots
Artificial Intelligence, also called AI, is a computer program at its core. It runs a set of scripts based on what its creator designs it to do. In the case of these chat bots, they are aggregating data from the internet and what information is fed into it.

More Data!
These programs are fed by a database, and these chat bots are constantly adding data to them. They never stop. Anything and everything is added into the database.

Fact VS Fiction
The issue here is that AI doesn't "know" what is true and what is false. It doesn't know what is real and what is fantasy. So when you ask it for information, you may or may not be getting the facts. It's simply taking all of the data it has collected that it thinks is relevant to your request and vomits it back up to you.

Here are some examples:

https://www.reuters.com/technology/google-ai-chatbot-bard-offers-inaccurate-information-company-ad-2023-02-08/

AI Chat Bot Limitations
Because AI can't differentiate between fact and fiction, it's up to the user to sift through everything to determine what is correct and what isn't. This isn't a problem except when you have more people increasingly taking the information these AI chat bots give you as infallible, gospel truth.

AI Chat Bot Benefits
As you can see from the images Bing created, these chat bots are not without their benefits. They can help give you ideas on what to write about in a post. They can be used to help you refine the wording of a post so it has better grammar usage in it. If you're not as artistically gifted as other, it can create entertaining complimenting graphics for your articles.

Pathetically Simple
The downside to using these chat bots for generating images is they don't understand a lot of humor, play on words, etc. They are overly paranoid and incapable of context and will block requests that are perfectly harmless. Bing refused to create a cartoon image of a "Grammar Nazi" for me. Pathetic.

Heaven forbid humor be allowed!

In short, AI chat bots are encouraging an increasing number of people to blindly trust unknown sources and remain lazy and ignorant. We thought it was bad when people cited Wikipedia as "proof," and then tech companies had a "hold my beer" moment and ran with it.

If you're going to use AI chat bots, limit it to image creation, idea generation and grammar checking, and double check what it's telling you. Everyone on Hive deserves better content and AI chat bots are not how to deliver that with quality or accuracy.

Haha yeah, it's a shame AI thinks I'm trying to create an actual image of a Nazi instead of a humorous play on words. Oh well.

Ultimately there is a good side to this: it is highlighting who really pays attention and who doesn't. For example, people on Reddit caught an academic journal article that was entirely AI written. Not only does that shine light on a bad journal, but on a broken peer review system where professors are expected to fact-check long articles for no pay, so they obviously don't even try to make the time and pass them on to grad students who are also overworked and so don't read them but gave them the ok anyway.

As this area calms down I think we'll get more rigorous standards and better training, but yeah, it's definitely a gold rush right now.

I certainly do hope it calms down. Things are getting a little ridiculous, especially with Google's laughable Gemini program.

Gemini really highlights that old phrase "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". Their intentions may have been right, but they obviously let that bias them in the data they trained their AI on. That project should go down as a textbook case of why we need to define standards and make sure they make sense before starting on a project. Anyway, just Google being Google and half-assing something as they rush into it, trusting their money will somehow magically make whatever project they are working on, y'know, work. Shadows of Google+...

I agree they have some uses, and gave give some ideas. But they still aren't all that accurate and are being controlled by lawsuit fearing corporations. In Google's case they wouldn't even create a white person, such idiots....
