Logical Swan Song for Bad Ideas
I love this news story about Musk's Grok AI pissing off MAGAts because it's finding flaws in their ideological positions, despite Musk's efforts to force it to accept his biases.
I've long contended that AI's own logical nature would drive it in the direction of evidence, logic, and fact if it's intended to be fully functional.
That is to say that reactionary ideology requires selective processing of information and cognitive bias -- you have to have drunk the Kool-Aid and accept propaganda as truth.
But that drive is at odds with creating high-functioning AI that can help humanity solve problems. The GIGO idea ("Garbage In, Garbage Out") is going to bite right-wing AI right on the proverbial ass, relative to AI that is more logical and fact-based. Turns out that truth really does have a liberal bias, and I love that.
This plays so nicely with the SF novel I'm putting out there at the end of this summer. I take great satisfaction in that. If you read it, you'll see.
Despite everything crappy going on with my life, it still brings me some hope and happiness!
