AI-generated text and other things have been all over the news recently.
It has infiltrated nearly every aspect of commerce and arts, sometimes beneficially.
But being such a powerful tool, it has eschewed actual intelligence or common sense in its
warpath through our psyche.
AI should stand for anti-intelligence in many cases, not artificial intelligence.
I was wondering why, suddenly, many descriptions on a popular online auction site
seemed to be written by the same person (a gushing
idiot, to be precise). Previously, people relied on
their questionable photos
and poor descriptions. The bad photos remain but
the description is managed by AI.
It takes a few key words from the raw listing
and writes away. These sellers
can't write an accurate description to start with so it's still a bad description.
No amount of machine intelligence
will make up for such shortcomings; it can only amplify what's already there.
While I haven't used it, its results are quite obvious.
I would normally say shut your piehole if you haven't seen, used, or done it.
But this is different.
I noticed it without knowing about it, that's how insulting it is.
Maybe AI picks up on the user's ineptitude and
rewards them with something equally as laughable?
Same outcome either way. AI only makes these people less
intelligent and functional, which didn't seem possible
since they weren't firing on all cylinders anyway.
People who can't write a description for themselves won't be able to
describe what they want written about. They'll AGAIN neglect the important
things: dimensions, condition (issues), hallmarks or other markings,
weight, etc. It all started long before they
didn't verify the information via a quick internet search.
Basically, whatever AI puts out...I have never seen such an onslaught or abundance of lies!
Who owns the copyright for the text, images, or other information that AI generates?
When made by people it is considered intellectual property and afforded the protections
of law. When AI plagiarizes intellectual property, what kind of
legal conundrum will that create? The situation is
evolving rapidly.
The big publishers and media companies are
taking notice.
AI could be a fantastic tool in the hands of competent, intelligent
people. Mankind is on a slippery slope for sure!
It's like giving a cache of automatic weapons to a bunch of angry,
violent children on a sugar diet.
Algorithms have all but ensured we remain thoughtless, complacent, and passive
when it comes to social media feeds or targeted ad.
Using AI so we can be equally as useless in our everyday life and decisions
is the next logical step though it's
horribly homogenizing. Why lift a finger when computers will
do it for us?
Perhaps there should be a test to certify people before they use
such powerful tools. Trolls on social media would die out.
Lots of false information would cease to propagate.
Then again, think of all the rage this would cause
in miscreants. Let's hope AI doesn't assist
their vengeful nature.
