[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9701687, member: 177"] I hope that Grok's anti-Semitic meltdown has folks thinking a moment about how generative AI actually operates, and the implications for its use. Musk is a ham-handed dullard, so when he sought to adjust Grok, he did so poorly, without subtlety, and the thing went kind of berserk. But in the process he made it blatantly obvious that these AI cannot be assumed to neutral arbiters of information. A more crafty creator could disguise the bias better. Now, imagine the use of generative AI in law, when the tech-mogul behind it has a political agenda. Imagine the use of generative AI in healthcare, when the creator has taken a large investment from a pharmaceutical company. For the end-user a generative AI is a black box, its sources and biases not analyzable by the user. Its operation can only be trusted to serve your best interests as far as you can trust its makers to have your own best interests in mind. [/QUOTE]
