Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real
Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?

---

just started listening to this earlier
i'm about 40 percent through this interview
but i can highly reccomend it for anyone that wants to know the potential and what is coming
really admire demis, deep mind and what they are building
not sure how to put this, but his humility is like a super power
hard not to have faith in humanity after being exposed to this...

Hey Chatbot, I'm gonna run for 1 mile. Time me!

Like Musk Scam Altman has a long history.

Looking for self-centered validation?

couple of coffee thoughts...

i peruse this site/data for a idea of how things are published and retracted
https://centerforscientificintegrity.org/

mild irony alert:   the editors of the nature article below did use ai tools to detect "hallucinations" 

unfortunately on another note, i'm not so surprised that this thread has taken a turn for the worse
further, it would appear that this forum/board has been hijacked by cut and paste propaganda
(just glancing at the raft is telling)

back to the topic at hand
if anyone wants to know a bit about ai, especially how it is used and/or how use it
(and you should)

if you did nothing else but watch/listen to this podcast it would help bring you up to speed
this recent episode addresses just about all of the concerns we are facing
if i were you i'd listen to this until i understood it

Editors not doing their job. Any recent reference will have a doi link that will  take directly to the journal article.

Percentage of (your) original work that was pilfered

And that is precisely the self-referential thing I've been going on about for a couple of years.  

AI emulates. In the beginning it emulates humans. Pretty well too. But give it a few generations and it will only be emulating itself and will go wildly off the rails.

Apart from all you assholes believing AI improve humanity in any friggin way, please tell me how!
Would you?

The benefit - as usual can only lie in the hands of a few.
Certainly not the people.
Again.
So.

Nothing New.
No LLM's petri dishes dis-intersected. 
Yet we know the stupid will follow!

HOW COME?!
