@BennyTheIcepick Yeah, the other day on another forum somebody posted a question about the provenance of something they wanted to buy, and that Google AI had told them it was particularly high quality from a particular Japanese craftsman and bla bla.
I did a quick search and established that, as far as the English language web goes, there's no craftsman in Japan by that name and that most of its verbiage was basically riffing on the brand name "Fine" on the item's label.
He replied, cough cough, I believe you are presumptuous, and as proof provided two more full page screenshots of text from Google AI continuing to riff on the word "fine" and that nonexistent Japanese craftsman.
I'm not actually certain I would begrudge "AI" all that much if it wasn't for how gleefully millions of people have lazily decided to make it their ultimate arbiter of reality.
AI and late stage capitalism
@ardgedee Not to worry, I feel very confident that the business interests that run AI won't allow anyone to covertly exploit the underlying code for selfish reasons.
Every business knows that trust is the paramount concern for brand longevity.
