AI... A new dawn, or the demise of humanity ?

@Madchatthew I think this approach could still work though - for example, check the results first before you publish the article - not performing this simple task will destroy Apple’s status as a reputable news source - if it hasn’t already.

@phenomlab You would think they would have someone that checks these before they are actually released and are like, oh wait, we need to hold this until the actual game is done. It is a great way to have an article already written and done to save time and be the first out there to notify people about. But they just need that one more step in there haha

I have never considered Apple a reputable news source. They are to influenced by the government along with some of the other big tech companies.

Yes, that’s logic, which sadly seems to be lacking in this case. I totally get wanting to be the first out there, but not before you even have the final result. Just madness.

Yeah, because you know, why have logic and common sense be involved. Not part of their job description apparently.

@phenomlab then MS will change their name to Cyberdyne

[Madchatthew]

@phenomlab that is crazy that he used AI to help do that. It makes sense that it would answer whatever questions you gave it and tell you how to do stuff.

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew but surely, it would flag this and report it somehow. I mean, how would it react if asked for the ingredients to make an IED?

I think that most European powers and others like Great Britain are commenting on ignoring the Trump/Musk duo and AI as a general rule.
