“It is not just that people trust wrong #AI answers. It is that the mere availability of AI suppresses the cognitive habit of recognising what you do not know.” #GenAI #LLMs thenextweb.com/news/ai-advi...

Recent commentary

Any news report that starts “OpenAI says…” or claims “an AI” (sic) has “broken containment” or “gone rogue” is no longer doing journalism, but PR for the #AI industry. #OpenAI used their product to hack a third-party and failed to implement adequate safeguards. That’s it. That’s the story. #AIHype

#AI seems to be driving everyone to distraction. AI boosters by undermining their cognitive capacities. AI critics by having to refute the nonsense put out by AI boosters. Meanwhile, the world just keeps getting hotter. 😓
