This isn't entirely true. AI is usually trained on public data such as Wikipedia.
AI is a tool. How you use it is what matters.

Indeed, reminded me of https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2023/05/luring-test-ai-engineering-consumer-trust which I know think of as emotional honey pots, like https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/18/former-snap-engineer-launches-butterflies-a-social-network-where-ais-and-humans-coexist/
I have yet to meet a person who gives a shit about AI. I have yet to meet a person who has intentionally used AI. It's all marketing bs and a way to mine our data.
I don't like the idea o LLMs everywhere, but I do use chatgpt quite a lot as a point of entrance to any topic that I might not know the existence of yet

from the video...
I think we need to be very cautious with the AI narrative where we are being lead to confuse mass surveillance with intelligence and by doing so initiate these corporate technologies into the core of our social and governmental institutions.
Did they mean "and be doing so insinuate" I wonder? Initiate makes some sense too, just odd phrasing.
Anyway! I'm getting sidetracked lol! Haven't even watched the video yet. Thanks for sharing the quote
there was a mental word search, glitch in the matrix moment right at that point - read into that what you will, cuz these days all options are valid.
"insinuate" is absolutely the very best word, but publicly one has to walk the fine line between complicity and hair-on-fire alarm, and so "initiate" came out of her mouth.
for the record, I think we are past the face-melting stage.
Yeah that's relatable. It's so easy to pick apart someone else's words when you're just passively observing, but when it's you in the moment...
Ah shit, is this the time line where privacy isn’t needed cause people want better AI?
At least until Big Tech realizes that hallucinations in generative AI aren't fixable and the whole stock market crashes.
Losing privacy for convenience has been happening. We use GPS on our smart phones for better directions. We install listening devices to add things to shopping carts and to play music by voice. We install cloud security cameras at home. We accept free WiFi in stores which gives them our cell phone info and our location. We use digital cash instead of physical cash. We buy things online rather than going to the store. Every device, like a toaster, has a MAC address.
People don't need better AI. People are made to think they need better AI. Other than that yea
