Satya Nadella starts blogging about AI, wants to move the conversation beyond "slop"

@ Satya Nadella
When you order the Windows devs to STOP treating us users like criminals and sheep, you respect our rights to you stop forcing crap on us we don't want, we might take you seriously.

Until then... [shrugs.shoulders] ... we're going to continue to think of you as a pathetic bobble-head.

Slop slop sloppity slop slop.

I can't tell if he believes his own lies or if he's just saving face, because the value proposition of OpenAI's product portfolio is so closely tied to the valuation of Microsoft's stock price, but I don't accept his premise.

A lie does a world tour before the truth can stretch its legs―and that's [I[before[/I] anyone with a smartphone could just make sh*t up. What we've created is worse than a lie. It's an untruth. A lie has to, at the very least, be plausible. With the advent of ChatGPT and Sora, we can literally fabricate things that could never happen, out of thin air, believably, and people might very likely accept them uncritically. Why would you trust anything, in a world where deception requires no effort and incurs no penalty?

No, we haven't been able to make a distinction between an earnest mistake and malicious intent for some time, and now the con artists of the world have weapons of mass destruction. The "age of unreality" is upon us...

He doesn't believe them. He didn't even write this article. CEOs for political conglomerates are just frontmen for the hidden decision makers.

It seems the plan currently is having people get used to subpar AI while the ruling parasites have highly specialized AI that is decades ahead of public AI. That way were distracted and fighting over nothing while they continue to reap the benefits at our expense. This is another distraction from Microsoft.

A.I. Has incredible potential. It's already had huge benefits for those who understand it and want it. (Medical research and much more.)

The reason it has a bad name is the forcing of it onto everything. Edit: It's just so obvious!!

A.I. has a bad reputation entirely due to the way MicroSlop and Leather Jacket man have gone about the whole thing.

It's genuinely sad how out of touch these snake oil like CEOs are. A.I itself is not snake oil.

No one is arguing against that. Scientific research of all kinds are where AI can really shine.

Yes, this is everyone's problem.

Yes, I was stating the obvious, agreed.

I wrote that simply because, due to the lunacy of the way it's forced everywhere, there are a few people who, understably I suppose, simple hate everything A.I.

Ironic that the companies, CEOs, who want wide spread adoption are the ones who have given it a bad name in many folks eyes.

It does, it's just that you don't realize. 60% of AI answers are wrong. Those are the current numbers. Let that sink in.

How do you know though? Do you ever check? I regularly do. And it regularly lies to me.

But they sugarcoat it like "hallucination". I mean I really don't care what label you want to put on it, the point is that the answers we're given are literally as accurate as a coin flip, or worse.

Answers to what? I never ask AI any questions.

Re: Chrome. Neither have I.

But Chrome A.I. or whatever they call it is only too eager to answer questions, above any sites, for a regular search.

If I owned a website, I would be seriously angry about this. It won't kill the internet, but will reduce visits to actual sites.

Going forward it could limit the variety of websites to the point where rather than going to an actual site to search, people don't bother and just rely on the A.I generated answers.

Information is power, and I like to get mine from a variety of sources. Imagine an web where more and more people get answers to stuff only from Google A.I. and bypass actual sites a lot of the time. Not a good trend IMHO.

Edit: Woops. Sorry, this thread isn't about Chrome. I'm off topic.
At least it's about A.I. though....ahem...
