“The means of communication, the irresistible output of the entertainment and information industry carry with them prescribed attitudes and habits, certain intellectual and emotional reactions which bind the consumers to the producers and, through the latter to the whole social system. The products indoctrinate and manipulate; they promote a false consciousness which is immune against its falsehood… Thus emerges a pattern of one-dimensional thought and behaviour.”

― Herbert Marcuse

Is Emily Bender talking about Generative AI or Fox News?

It seems astonishing to me that any news source would #torpedo their #own #reputation that way, to say “We are willing to put fake text out there and publish it as news.”

It’s worth calling that out for being poor practice and at the same time placing a value on authentic content.

Another thing I would love to see is that the companies that create these models, or set them up so people can access them, should be #accountable for their #output.

So, if ChatGPT produces something that amounts to libel or that amounts to medical malpractice, then OpenAI is accountable.

Responsibility and liability:

That would change things in a hurry
