This is actually a serious threat, because AI is so fucking stupid....

It wouldn't give the most effective plans, it probably won't even give plans that will "work"...

But it's gonna recommend shit no one thought of with 100% confidence and convince already brainwashed idiots that crazy shit will work.

Not just ISIS, all our own homegrown brain rot idiots on Twitter using grok too. Stuff that requires no organization or coordination, just random solo idiots.

It's likely already happening. The AI companies just aren't admitting it.

Like the guy that blew a cyber truck full of fireworks up in Vegas in front a trump casino, grok would 100% say that's a world changing plan and would make him an hero.

This is one thing it isn't going to do.

I'm sure, it's like the perfect tool for unimaginative soulless religious zealots.

Probably don't want their users to keep asking how to make a bomb and get them tracked

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

Aaahh there is nothing like a religious extremist using artificial intelligence to combat everything that makes artificial intelligence possible in the first place, because we all know that God made chatgpt

Lol, ISIS is willingly giving up all their information to be tracked!? This has got to be some bullshit propaganda or they are the stupidest terrorists ever.
