Can AI talk us out of conspiracy theory rabbit holes?

Given that Alex Jones has “interviewed” ChatGPT on air twice now, I’m going to say no.

The amount of conspiracy theories I’ve heard in the past year or so involve AI in some way.

Yesterday a friend and I were talking and he said the government was using AI to hack his brain.

I don’t think a chat bot is going to help that situation.

This is the first time in a long time I’ve heard of a use case for AI that is genuinely useful

It’s a job very few people will want to do, it can do the job as well as, if not better than a human, and it’s a use case that is genuinely useful.

I wish them luck.

I guess this is all part of the social sciences side of chatbots and something to keep an eye on, and folks have to start somewhere…but I kind of feel that the technology isn’t really at the point where teaching people in general with a chatbot is an ideal solution.

Pretty funny to posit that a LLM chatbot ought to talk us out of conspiratorial thinking while running on a corporate GPU farm absolutely BLASTING through electricity and copyright and IP violations because it’s legally convenient for the powerful. Please post more thought provoking unreasonable propaganda.

Huh that’s funny, because I run a local LLM even on my laptop.

And fuck yes, I love IP violations. Makes me want to go pirate some media and draw fan art.

Please post some more ignorant rage.

Its wild how some people’s blind hate of gen AI has got them thinking “corporate control of culture is good actually”
