Someone in an online group I follow just posted this in a thread:
"I asked AI, and it said" -- words followed, and some were incorrect.
This person was demonstrating total trust in a system that is totally untrustworthy. The hype is working, and the result is going to be terrible.
@quinn @dangillmor mine said that as well, that we couldnt use Wikipedia, but we could use google...
So...i used my grand parents encyclopedia britanica to look things up, only to get a low score becuase i used "unvetted information"
Even though...I cited sources...
Sure, my dad got my grade changed after filing a complaint, and him showing up with the encyclopedia.
