      just for you i asked chatgpt to write a poem about a puppy:
      A little puppy full of grace and charm,
      With wagging tail and playful bark so warm,
      It brings a smile to every heart and face,
      With boundless energy and lively pace.
      Its eyes are bright, its fur is soft and fine,
      And when it barks, it sounds like chimes that chime.
      It follows you with love wherever you go,
      A faithful friend, a constant light aglow.
      Its playful leaps, its warm and wet embrace,
      A joy to all who see it race and chase.
      It doesn't matter what the world may bring,
      This little pup will always make us sing.
      So here's to you, dear puppy, small and bold,
      A treasure to us, worth more than gold.
      May you be happy, healthy, and adored,
      And always loved, forever more.

      @lamcho00 Год назад

      That's because most people don't go on the internet to find the truth with an open mind. They come in search to validate their believes, no matter if they are wrong or not. I've seen numerous occasions where anti-vaccers quote PubMed studies or reports by title or Abstract section because they read something that they think confirms their believes, without actually going through the content. Usually in the full article there is a Discussion section where the doctors provide possible explanations or at least provide an educated guess. The anti-vaccers also never happen to search for evidence against their believes (because there would be an overwhelming amount of those) and assign the same value to that one odd study as to meta-analysis or systematic reviews on said topic. They also never read the paper limitations or review part where criticism may be present.
      Though I wouldn't say the war on misinformation is lost. Lay people would most likely never learn how to use those tools properly, the same way they didn't learn to analyze information properly. And while more misinformation can be easily created, so can more videos be checked for fallacies (provided we'll get logically reasoning AI some time soon). ChatGPT is not really good at logical reasoning or at least it makes errors quite often when a topic becomes a bit more complicated. So I doubt it can be used for fact checking.

      It's sad to think that machines are able to do everything thunderfoot can do but better. As he said in this video, feelings matter more than facts. Somebody can input data of his dialog and this ai can replicate his personality with it. Mere seconds is all it takes. you may ask yourself, "but it's just text on a screen", what harm can that do? Well, ever heard of deep fakes and voice replicators? Just input his face into some sorta deep fake machine, and give the voice replicators some of his dialog and BOOM. You have everything you need to create your own little thunderfoot that says whatever you want him to say. It may sound hopeless, but it uses data to do stuff. It cannot stray too far from the parameters, and it's unable to be creative. Which means it basically just copy and pastes stuff and combines it with other stuff from it's collection of data. Now, the way they attained this data is questionable to say the least. Some people resort to suing the corporation's who used this data.

    Personally I've developed negative emotions on these overly flashy, bombastic, hypey video's. My brain automatically discards them on presentation alone. Just as the ads on websites are automatically discarded by my brain as well. I think that a lot of people will come to recognize the specific style of a given AI, and attach a value on it through experience. Also I think the search of 'truth' has been, and always will be one of the greatest challenges in a human life. So nothing has really changed, except maybe the difficulty-level had been stepped up a notch. Then again, the nativity / stupidity / rigidity of some people never cease to amaze me. There should probably be given more attention to critical thinking and rating of a source during education. Especially because if there's a gap in your knowledge, you can always ask an AI, which would be arguably worse than looking up a wiki article since its not moderated. On the other hand, with the interactiveness of for example chatGPT, you can get a better grasp of a subject you just read about (while at the same time verifying both).
    As always, your videos provide some good food for though!

      We've spent enough time on the internet to filter out the crap that's just trying to get our attention, but not everybody has the time or will to spend that much time online. Just recently I watched a grown man enter the worst keywords into Google, click both "sponsored results", getting frustrated and immediately quit. If there had been a legitimate looking solution for his problem, he would have fallen for it. Also, there is a reason why "Doctors hate when you know THIS ...." ads STILL work.
      Now imagine "personalized content" based on this man's analytics data or data collected by malware. An AI could almost instantly create an entire website just to fool this specific person, and do it in parallel with hundreds of others. Train the AI to avoid anything that could be considered a red flag and fake websites will look incredibly convincing, especially to the ignorant / uneducated / impatient / impaired.

By engaging in conversations with users, ChatGPT can help facilitate a more rational discourse online by providing accurate information, clarifying misunderstandings, and encouraging thoughtful and respectful communication.
    Furthermore, ChatGPT can help reduce the impact of misinformation and fake news by providing reliable and fact-based information to users. This can help combat the spread of harmful or inaccurate information that can lead to irrational or harmful discourse.

AIs do seem to have the potential to replace human writers, but at the moment, or so it seems to me based on my limited experience, only the very worst human writers making the very worst job of the very simplest tasks. I suspect they may turn out to be like the Segway, a decent if limited product made ridiculous by being absurdly overhyped.

From my perspective in middle age, social media has a far worse effect on the grandparents in the world than it does on the children in the world. (Of course this is just generally speaking, the opposite is true in innumerable cases as well.)
      Not only do I have faith that humanity will turn the corner is a positive direction with the Internet and AI, but historically speaking I think we're doing a far better job with this information revolution than we've done with information revolutions in the past.

Fingers crossed we'll be able to quell the current regional conflicts.

    As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions or emotions. However, I can provide a neutral and factual response to your question.
    It is true that the increasing development of AI language models like myself will likely result in a greater number of AI-generated videos being produced and shared on platforms like RUclips. However, it is important to note that the quality of these videos will vary and will depend on several factors such as the training data used to develop the AI models, the algorithms and techniques used to generate the content, and the specific implementation and deployment of the AI models.
    While some AI-generated videos may be of low quality or feature robotic-sounding voices, others may be highly sophisticated and feature more natural and human-like speech. Ultimately, the impact of AI-generated videos on the video content landscape will depend on how they are used, and it will be up to individual users and content creators to determine their value and worth.

    Noam Chomsky talking about ChatGPT: It’s “basically high-tech plagiarism” and “a way of avoiding learning”. Since it can only use what it has been taught, the best it can do is reformulate bits of other people's work. When I first used it, I asked for references, which it said it could not give. Now it can. The references are popular sources, most not too terrible - yet. I also asked it to explain the process by which it created the answers it gave me. It could not. So given unknown or partially unknown sources, and an unknown and unknowable methodology, the AI can produce stuff of unknowable quality so fast that people will never be able to verify it.

    While Chat GPT might introduce a new phenomenon in online entertainment media I can't really believe it will take over. Not only that those narrator voices are bound to be limited and thus easily identified sometime after they are introduced in the ecosystem. In addition to this, I used to write essays for my classmates while in highschool and while they passed easily they did not captivate to any extent when compared to essays written genuinely by others. I can't quantify this, but I think people are way too good at pattern recognition.

I say this as an IT worker, you only need internet and GIT to do programming for any company from anywhere in the world. In this example, the brown people are the AI, taking the jobs of the straight white males. And you could blame the brownies, you could blame the AI, because now white peeps undergo more poverty, but the person who took the decision to hire an AI, is the real guilty person. If we redistributed wealth, the straight white males would not be poor, and the AI would do the work. People would work in what they want. I would keep working even if there are no market needs for my abilities, because contrary to what you said, a job is not what makes a person "purposeless, and without meaning", we can derive meaning by ourselves, without needing a labor market to dictate us what is our meaning.

    I like to think there’ll be rules on platforms like YT as you hinted at. At some point, the content uploaded will overwhelm the YT servers’ ability to process it and ratings on the lower end stuff will cost them money where this is no ROI. That or there’ll be an arms race where popular handmade channels compete with top AI-based channels as people go to one for laughs and entertainment and others for information. Here’s to hoping that humans select for themselves in this evolutionary race.

But they had to be reminded how big that chat bot was and that your not going to get a response from any text center within 5 seconds when there are millions of users and hardly any staff. People are easily deceived and bots are naturally good at lying since lying is just a story of words that isnt real.

  • @BirdbrainEngineer
    @BirdbrainEngineer Год назад +20

    I believe that RUclips will eventually have to make an AI that screens for AI generated content. Why? Because soon enough (I'd imagine probably within the next 2 years or so) there will be thousands of channels which use AI to completely automate the video making process. This will result in an insane increase in uploads. Most of these videos will only take up space and processing power from RUclips, and never make a monetary return for RUclips.
    There is a finite amount of human attention on RUclips. Making more videos does not mean more human attention. Now, one might then figure that there will be bots made to increase the total attention on RUclips, but since bots do not buy products that get advertised to them, then advertisers will start to either pay less per view or just pull out entirely. The upshot of it all is that only human attention is worth something, and it is in RUclips's interest to maximize profit from human attention while minimizing infrastructure costs.

      Facebook and Wikipedia and later Twitter came along and this meant a uniform layout (so the weirdos' content looked superficially similar) and a zero skills threshold.

As an example, the American government insists that SPEED KILLS so that they may justify ludicrous speeding fines. This is so that parasitic shitter states like Florida can continue to prop up dead towns with speeding ticket revenue. In reality, speed does not kill, improper lane use does! The Autobahn is a very safe roadway, almost entirely thanks to the drivers. If the American government REALLY cared about safety, they would require a license holder to do more than fog up a mirror to be allowed to operate a vehicle up to 10,000lbs. Yes, that's right, with a standard American driver's license, you can drive a vehicle with a total weight of up to 10,000lbs. But clearly, SPEED kills, and not irresponsible licensing processes. People are very easily gaslight by authority figures.
      tl;dr: if you didn't see it with your own eyes it probably doesn't mean jack shit to anyone but investors, unless you really cannot possibly fathom even a single way someone could stand to gain from manipulating the results of a particular study, or by spouting a particular flavour of culture war rhetoric that is, at best corroborated between other media companies owned by the same person...

    You show how science is the application of rational doubt-a process that pares back theories to something resembling reality.
    That's the most valuable thing you have done.
    The reason people fall for all this nonsense delivered in an authoritative tone is that they have been conditioned to trust 'experts' who never explain their reasoning.
    Science is a philosophy, not a priesthood. It can be practiced by anyone who understands the logic.
    This is the great truth which is hidden by the media when they call an 'expert' on every topic, even when it isn't clear that topic has experts.
    And that opinion is never questioned anymore. There was a time journalists were bright enough to analyze the content of an expert's opinion and challenge them on points that didn't work. But today's breed aren't capable of that.

    Low effort and infactual content was always easier to produce than factual, well researched or high effort content. As more and more people get the tools to do it the amount only increases. I don't think AI will change much, aside from speeding it up.
    Looking further into the future it can go many ways. One scenario could be that everybody gets generated content that confirms their perspective on reality, further biasing them. Another, more positive outlook, might be AI assistants fact checking everything in realtime.

    Excellent analysis. As is often the case it is human psychology that is likely to be our undoing unless people can begin to understand themselves. Great work - superbly done and much appreciated, from one truth teller to another!

    AI developer of the AI Seinfeld says they imagine making a 24/7 stream of their AI on stage doing comedy.

      Yeah, but that dream was quickly crushed. AI Seinfeld was banned from Twitch for making a "transphobic" joke that didn't actually make fun of trans people, but was a self-deprecating joke about how out of touch the comedian was. There's the other dystopian aspect of our times, political correctness gone completely awry.
