    Sometimes, the AI gets the little details wrong.

    In school we always get an assignment to compare the same story in different newspapers. It was amazing to see them all have different details. And that was before the internet existed. So AI here isn’t better, just cheaper.

    Other times, the AI wholly fabricates events.

    We call that Boris Johnson.

    Take an article from a reputable publisher, an article for a subject that you are expert in.

    Read it and make note of facts they got right and got wrong.

    Now apply that same ratio to articles where you have little or no expertise.

    These guys are just speed running th at to its inevitable end.

      This is what got me to shake free of some podcasters I placed far too much faith in at one point in the past. When I realized how slanted and fucked their opinion was on things I knew about, it put all their other opinions in a much different light.

      • Same here used to love Sam Harris and to some extent Joe Rogan, like 2016’ish. Then they got into that whole intellectual dark web nonsense and stayed political instead of trippy brain science and meditation stuff, they started talking about international politics and they are both fucking bigots. Really turned me off hearing Sam basically support the genocide of Palestine.

          I don’t even want admit who it was. (It wasn’t Rush or Hannity, more stealth than those guys but I should have known better anyway.) 😬
