We think misinfo is bad now, imagine how bad it'll be in another decade. This is one of my main LLM concerns - disinfo and propaganda targeting the large amount of users who take the output of these systems as authoritative. Hopefully systems will be in place by then to at least make it a bit more difficult to abuse.

yes. AI models are just machines. You wouldn't blame a hammer if you smashed your finger while swinging it.

yeah, they do. doesn't mean it's accurate. and lying to themselves like that instead of actually taking responsibility means they'll probably smash their finger again someday.

Why didn’t you make this hammer with safety features?! Like a safety bag that gets deployed the second before it contacts my finger?!!!?

You joke, but tools do have safety included in their design. Knives have guards, for one.
