<div dir="auto"><div>Hi Michael.</div><div><br></div><div dir="auto">Using ChatGPT or other LLMs as a valid source of news will end very badly, and very likely you'll have had no idea anything bad was going on. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">At it's core, it's just a probability of what word is most likely to come next. People often say the A.I. "talks" with confidence, and as such, has an incredible power to persuade.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The single best piece of advice I ever heard was from a radio DJ .... If you say anything with enough confidence in your voice, they'll believe anything you say. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">This and also when the A.I. totally hallucinates but invents these facts with such clarity and intention, that I have no ingrained reason to distrust. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The number of times the Python code it's has helped me with contains a library or shell command that just simply doesn't exist, but I never caught it because I trust it to not lead me astray ... Which it has done a few times. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Just my unsolicited opinions. Carry on.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">---<br>Thanks,<br>Alexander<br><br>Sent from my Google Pixel 7 Pro</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jan 24, 2025, 17:42 Michael via PLUG-discuss <<a href="mailto:plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I found a very good means of getting unbiased reports about anything. Reports the way they used to be. Just the news. Make your own decisions. Ask chatgpt. And then you can go go further into the information. For instance I asked for the latest news on trump and it told me he was in California and that he might withhold fema funds. I then asked why and it told me and then it said that most of the land was under federal responsibility I then asked why the government didn't clean the land.... etc.</div></div>
