This thought entered my mind today as I came across a thread on Quora, and noticed that they have added a feature where ChatGPT would have a go at answering the question.
Today alone I have used a few varying “AI” tools, including one which automatically paraphrases text for you, one which analyses your writing in SwiftKey as you type, and of course the big players like Bard and Bing Chat. It got me thinking about whether these features are actually valuable, and if we would start to see them on this platform.
The massive push towards everything integrating AI legitimately scares me. These systems have zero motivation to post things that are factually accurate or unbiased, and yet people are happy forcing them everywhere.
On a social media site, I’d like to interact with genuine people with genuine thoughts and experiences, not a faceless conglomerate of a bunch of books and reddit posts.
And of course, there’s the ethical and privacy issues of these systems just scraping and regurgitating huge amounts of content without regards to whether the original creators are okay with it or not.
