A team of researchers who say they are from the University of Zurich ran an “unauthorized,” large-scale experiment in which they secretly deployed AI-powered bots into a popular debate subreddit called r/changemyview in an attempt to research whether AI could be used to change people’s minds about contentious topics.

Ok, but did they have to make the bots argue for so many shitty positions?

a “Black man” who was opposed to the Black Lives Matter movement

a bot who suggested that specific types of criminals should not be rehabilitated

This is pretty clearly an attempt to see if AI can make the world worse.

Even with this information, it's fine if it's a small part of your diet. My kids aren't going to die because they eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day.

Always having it available and the fact that they'll eat it mean it's the healthier choice.

You have to make tradeoffs. That's just how food works and how it has always worked.

Would it be so bad if it follows the same path as Twitter? If it connects people and organizations in an honest and helpful way for fifteen years?

Or we could all just keep shitting on it while it facilitates social and political movements and enables rapid communication across the planet. Then more than a decade from now when some Ultra-Nazi trillionaire buys it, we can all say "I told you so," and be real smug about it.

That's why he said start with Google Translate. Because Google Translate isn't giving gibberish like vegetative electron microscopy.

Any criticism of conservatism is grounds for removal now. I can't believe it's gotten this far.

Is there any Sonic community on Lemmy? Did you make one? I'm a casual fan, but I'd join.

Yeah, no shit.

Let's go back and look at who ran with this narrative so we can see who's a gullible idiot. No one will be surprised.
