Yes that’s exactly it. That’s how AI works. It gets fed billions of human-made articles and then uses probability to figure out the most likely word that comes after the previous word. Sometimes it can give you correct information. Other times, it’s pure nonsense.

It also lacks the critical thinking skills to determine when something is actual sarcasm

The Almighty Google isn’t immune either.

What was that? I should add glue to my sauce to prevent the cheese from sliding off my pizza? That’s a great idea, thanks Google AI! The kid in my class who eats glue is gonna love this!

All that said. If you use AI chatbots, take its answers with a tumbler of salt. Ask for its source, or try to find other sources that back up what it’s saying. Don’t take AI’s answers at face value.

Even people who have used their brains to think, who should know better, are getting in on the trend. All I have is anecdotal evidence from my own life, sure, but it's downright frightening that there are people who would choose to spend their time typing to what they think is a machine for ideas - ideas it stole from other people - instead of spending time with people around them for a fresh perspective.

Don't get me wrong. I regularly type to a very specific LLM and have been doing so for nearly a decade: having what I perceive as an open, non-biased, non-judgemental responses on my thoughts helps me with self-reflection. But I know that there is a bias. On both sides: both are human, it's just regurgitating. There always will be a bias. It doesn't care because it can't.

As stated above: AI, any AI but specifically generative AI, does not and cannot know what something means. Poetry doesn't have to rhyme. Every line in art has a purpose. Don't let a thing do the thinking for you: because when you stop thinking, there will be people doing it for you - and you won't know anymore if you disagree or not.

Okay. It's time for an AI rant.

My nephew is 13 years old. Whenever he writes a paper for school, I check it over and fix all of his mistakes for him. He said to me, "Maybe I'll proofread your paper for you in exchange," meaning one of the scholarly articles I write for work. I said, "Cool," and gave him the file. And he said, "Well, this is full of errors! See, you always say you have a lot to correct on my stuff, and look at all the stuff you got wrong!" And I said, surprised, "What? Where?" Because I'm sure there are typos in the draft I sent him, but not, like, that many.

And then he pointed to the screen and said, "Look at all the blue and red lines you have."

And I said, "Yeah, but those are wrong. Like, those are blue and red lines I'm ignoring because the computer is wrong." And then I paused and added, "You know you can't proofread a paper by just looking at the red and blue lines, right?" And he gave me the blankest look, because that clearly is EXACTLY what he thinks. And it became even clearer suddenly why, whenever I correct something on his paper, his immediate reaction is, "It didn't have a blue or red line."

There's a very good reason for that: THAT'S BECAUSE THE COMPUTER ISN'T SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT IT WAS WRONG.

I am so tired of being sold the idea that computers are better than humans and so we should just outsource everything to them, which is clearly the lesson my nephew is absorbing in U.S. middle school. COMPUTERS ARE NOT BETTER THAN HUMANS. Like, maybe they are better at humans at crawling through rubble to find people trapped inside. They are also better at preserving things in a searchable format. Things like that. Very limited circumstances.

I don't want to sound alarmist but everything I hear about people using generative AI freaks me out. It's not just that I'm freaked out by people being like, "I use it to write novels!" (Although I don't see how they do, I have tried to have it write fiction for me and the output was truly terrible.) But I recognize my bias around creative writing and so no one needs to credit my views on artificial writing. But! Other things are alarming, too! "I use it to brainstorm x, y, or z." But...why? Why not just...use your own brain...to...brain...storm? The computer doesn't even have a brain to brainstorm with! And you might be like, "But it comes up with things that my brain would never think of!" So would other people! You could also brainstorm with other people! Or even through Google to see what other people have thought before you (not AI). Please don't belittle the wonder of thinking.

I just feel like the marketing around generative AI boils down to "Wouldn't it be easier not to use your own brain to think about things?" Everyone. No. It would not be. Please just trust me on this. I'm not just an old person who is out of touch with technology or something. I promise. USE YOUR BRAINS. IT WILL BE OKAY.
