Randahl FinkIf you want to know whether your AI system is accurate, I recommend this question: "When did Elon Musk heil in public?"
Source criticism and information verification must be a prioritised school subject in every democratic country.
mimiimim@randahl Well there you go. I remember @pluralistic referring to AI slop as the asbestos future generations will be paid to remove. My take is that we're being sold AI as the foie gras of code. Only problem is, we are the geese.

As someone who routinely has to arrange asbestos surveys and removals for their job, I find the metaphor apt for AI.
If you live in a 1960’s/70’s home, asbestos is in everything…so much so that I can read multiple asbestos reports on a property of this era going back over 10 years that each time identify a new source of concern.
Could a new career path be emerging: AI Decontaminator ?
Howard Cohen@JugglingWithEggs @1sxteenthDANE @randahl @pluralistic You're not wrong. But, for some cases it will be more like curing the effects of breathing asbestos. It's a problem better avoided and one that is much harder to fix than it was to create.
It'll be the stockholders who are left holding the bag, together with everyone who depended on the technology that falls ill with AI.
