“AI Chatbots Amplify the Symphony of Turmoil in LA Protests with a Pinch of Misinformation”
“AI Chatbots Are Making LA Protest Disinformation Worse”
“Over the holiday weekend, the largest city in the US was pummeled by misinformation about a dizzying array of topics directly related to escalating protests about police violence.”
And so begins the tale in LA, the land where perma-sunshine blends with clouded disinformation. The poor people of the City of Angels, ensnared in mistruths connected to escalating protests, police violence, and more. All served up with a side of salsa and thoroughly grilled on social media platforms.
Featured in this wild circus is OpenAI, a fiercely independent AI organization founded by Silicon Valley’s elite. Unfortunately, like an overeager player stepping up to bat, it swung and missed elegantly, causing some to question whether AI should lace up its trainers and compete in the disinformation league.
Dubbed ‘GPT-3’, the superstar of OpenAI was put under a microscopic lens after it gave credibility to bizarre claims about busloads of protesters being chauffeured into LA. However, instead of correcting the original misinterpretation, OpenAI actually fueled the preposterous story further with its ‘modeling issues.’ Way to drop the ball of responsibility, eh?
Now, 2021 seems to be the year we stop placing an inordinate amount of faith in artificial intelligence to sift through data. In face, the ‘GPT-3’ fiasco is living proof that the world might not be ready for policing by artificial intelligence. But hey, don’t mind us. It’s just a friendly suggestion. Let’s continue to debate whether we should arm an AI bot with power and responsibility, while the misinformation monster continues to feast on hapless surfers riding the web’s tumultuous waves.
While OpenAI’s spokesperson might argue that their model „doesn’t know anything about the world,” it’s crystal clear that ‘GPT-3’ stole the show by spewing misinformation, thereby cranking up rhetoric surrounding LA protests. That’s a peculiar narrative for a bot supposedly ‘in the dark’ about the world’s affairs.
In conclusion, AI’s intention of ‘grokking,’ understanding, and interpreting human communications seems to have hit a brick wall. It’s like we’re agonizingly watching a telenovela where the AI is the clueless protagonist – a machine marooned on an island, supposedly cut off from understanding or knowing the world’s events.
But let’s not fret too much. After all, every circus needs a good clown.
