The alternative is Facebook with lies that go unchecked completely. This is actually an area where AI is not bad.
edit: sigh. Refusing to acknowledge where things can be useful. NO, ALL BAD. BAD BAD BAD! AI BAD! ALWAYS BAD! NO USE! NO GOOD! ONLY BAD! BAD BAD BAD! Such fucking blindness.
I mean, there’s always Lemmy.
just because it is a solution doesn't mean its a good solution or even better than no solution
If i's implemented the right way, it could be. AI can be used for good things even if the knee-jerk reaction of so many people online is to equate it with crap.
It couldn't be. Lying bias machine that gives people psychosis can't magically stop being what it is. So it will always be terrible and unnecessary at best, harmful at regular.
Recoiling upon smelling shit is also a kneejerk reaction
its always this same bullshit, "if we just implemented this correctly" where can an AI participate in fact-checking? It can't be trusted because of hallucinations, so the solution would be to uh... manually review everything it does? just rely on third parties to do it? What ACTUAL USE does this shit have?
