When you are writing a government report about the ethical use of AI in education and the AI hallucinates a bunch of your sources.

Don't ever change Canada!

I've said it before - AI is always right. There's nothing in AI's basic theory of operation to allow for, "Ah, heck. I don't know." So it makes shit up to maintain a façade of being authoritative. It annoys me that "hallucination" is being used as an excuse/euphemism for "It lies to save face."

A number of world leaders are like that, too, but the good thing there is they are only wastes of oxygen, versus the huge environmental impacts of multi-acre "data centers" that drive AI.

Not just world leaders I'm afraid. You can provide people with a dozen peer reviewed studies that all reach the same conclusion and they will quibble about research design or some other nonsense if it doesn't match their preconceived notions.

A cell phone commercial popped up. Two women shopping for cosmetics. They photograph a dozen different brands and their phone tells them which one to buy. This is the future of AI. Telling lazy people what to do based on which companies pay the most to AI to hawk their products.

As the next level, I fully expect officials to use AI to come up with a strategy for how to fight AI-generated strategies.
These are such fun times.

It should be Artificial Idiocy instead of Artificial Intelligence.

In the legal world it's amazing how many people are getting caught using AI briefs that are full of made up cases.
It makes me wonder what they were doing before they had AI.

That's funny.
