Chris Brooking<a href="https://ecoevo.social/@sarahdalgulls" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sarahdalgulls</a> Arduously long but one point struck me. The use of ambiguity in AI responses because it doesn't know what to put. In effect the reader sees the meaning in the sentence.Does this mean that we are being gaslighted, and AI is not nearly as advanced as we think? Has it just learnt to produce text that is plausible to anyone and fits multiple interpretations, just like the tabloid astrology columns?I don't think there's a simple answer to this. On relatively closed domains like writing computer language it definitely can produce real direct answers. On ambiguous social questions, perhaps it does produce ambiguous answers for us to project meaning on to?I'm quite surprised that I hadn't noticed or thought of this possibility. I think I will ask some questions and look at the answers while asking myself "how would someone with a different worldview understand this?".<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ai</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/generativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#generativeAI</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/cognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cognition</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/compression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compression</a>
