My 9 year old and his classmates have started using “that’s AI” to mean “I don’t believe you.”

Me: we’re having dinosaur meat for dinner

Kiddo: that’s AI

@Daojoan

That worries me. We are raising a generation habituated to rejecting information that doesn't suit them.

Sure their bullshit detectors catch a higher proportion of the bullshit, but along with this is a higher rate of false detections.

When real data and real evidence comes out that doesn't fit their preconceived ideas, will they process it and allow it to affect their views? Or will they say "That's AI."

Might AI further enable and normalize preemptive rejection of facts?

@jmcclure @Daojoan Let's see: Mom referred jokingly to chicken as 'dinosaur meat' and her 9 yr old called her on it. This isn't information that 'didn't suit them' it was blatantly false information that was identified as such. The point is that even a 9 yr old can see how useless AI is in the real world.
