@AlSweigart the version of this that fills me with terror is "your future doctor is…"

[lizette603_23@mastodon.social]

@AlSweigart I am not!

[criticalangle@mastodon.social]

@AlSweigart I dont know where this idea comes from, because my AI (Lumo) corrects me all the time.

People should just keep their queries fact-based and don't ask it if Anney or Chrissy should be should be their best friend. To be honest I'd just agree with whatever they said, as well.

@AlSweigart @jwz I’d be in so much trouble if I shared that in some of my circles…

…am still considering it.

@AlSweigart I almost thought you are an AI because your display name.

There are anti #aisycophancy instructions

Using AI is a learned skill

@AlSweigart Corollary: The most evil person you know is being told “You are absolutely right!” By an AI right now.

Probably because, they only seek what they want for the time being. If anyone use this thought process to their advantage, the very same Ai becomes much powerful, rendering outstanding responses for us.

@AlSweigart "should we raise taxes"

@AlSweigart

Hey! We all need validation.

[ovoao@mastodon.social]

@admin @AlSweigart

you are absolutely right

[sean_devs@mastodon.social]

@AlSweigart you're absolutely right

[cresssalad@mastodon.social]

@AlSweigart

Compare the rather obvious "baiting" by AI's with the convoluted lies and manipulations by humans at the moment on the world stage.

I'd much rather have an AI running the show as long as its trained only by compassionate and aware human data, themselves elected from society.

Then have the civil servants carry out all the work and offer in AI guardrails. Keep the ego's and lies out of leadership! Bring back Transparency and Integrity.

Just an Idea

@AlSweigart A person I know quit their job last week because AI told them the contract was illegal. It wasn't a great contract, but it was legal.

[the_turtle@mastodon.sdf.org]

@AlSweigart it used to be you had to get drunk in a bar to have that happen.

[harald_korneliussen@mastodon.partipirate.org]

@AlSweigart It's democratization. Powerful people always had access to people who told them "you are absolutely right".

[capnthommo@c.im]

@the_turtle @AlSweigart that was much more enjoyable though.
