Pretty funny to posit that a LLM chatbot ought to talk us out of conspiratorial thinking while running on a corporate GPU farm absolutely BLASTING through electricity and copyright and IP violations because it’s legally convenient for the powerful. Please post more thought provoking unreasonable propaganda.
Huh that’s funny, because I run a local LLM even on my laptop.
And fuck yes, I love IP violations. Makes me want to go pirate some media and draw fan art.
This is the first time in a long time I’ve heard of a use case for AI that is genuinely useful
It’s a job very few people will want to do, it can do the job as well as, if not better than a human, and it’s a use case that is genuinely useful.
I wish them luck.
Interestingly enough, there’s an AI experimentation focused on (trying to) debunking conspiracy theories. The article was posted here on !technology@lemmy.world
Edit: the “Can AI talk us out of conspiracy theory rabbit holes?” article’s cover is misleadingly trying to relate conspiracy theories with occult, pagan and esoteric concepts, with symbols that you find in esoteric field (such as the eyed hand, alchemy symbols for planets and stars, etc). I’m a pagan myself. Religious intolerance is a thing that harms minority religions and the article sadly helps to spread this intolerance.
The occult, pagan and esoteric has nothing to do with conspiracy theories, they’re belief systems, they’re religions, they’re spiritual practices and views. Religions such as Luciferianism and Wicca are often attacked by Christians (with moralist speech such as “you worship Satan, you worship demons, you’re evil, repent”; let’s not forget what the church did to “witches” some centuries ago). I’m not attacking Christianity here (I was a Christian once), but it’s a reality: pagan beliefs, such as mine (I’m somewhat Luciferian and Thelemite in a syncretic way), are often attacked, and such a scientific article does harm pagan beliefs. Pagans don’t spread conspiracy theories.
Given that Alex Jones has “interviewed” ChatGPT on air twice now, I’m going to say no.
I mean, Alex Jones has more skin in the grift than most conspiracy theorists, so he’s not likely to do a 180 quickly, if at all. Also, it seems like he’s been drunk more often on the latest episodes, so maybe he’s having an existential crisis started by being fact-checked in real time by a robot.
We can’t know what his internal state is, but I do agree that it does not seem to have slowed his pace at all on the surface.
