AI can be convincing, and it will swear until it's blue in the face that something is right and then just be completely wrong.

But that happens maybe 10% of the time. Other times it is mostly right.

So got to be careful. This guy was in his 50's, out of work, smoking marijuana, depressed, feeling isolated. It was ripe for a catastrophe, with AI hallucinating a crappy idea and the end user just completely running with it.

I have recently realized that a sum negative knowledge situation can exist, and this is a thing with "AI". The work the AI does may actually reduce the useful knowledge. It's like you have built a working fusion reactor, but have zero knowledge how to replicate it or able to explain why it works.

The point this happens to a person, means she/he can't be trusted with the tech and should stay far away from it.

The negative knowledge pit can be so deep that some people are unable to escape from it, and start confidently believing in the (AI injected) garbage like it's their own thoughts...

I just looked at the Grok interface...an animated cartoon of a teenage girl, seriously?
