Gregory's ServerThe issue here is human bias being proliferated at an exponential rate. These problems were here before. How many scientists in the 50-70’s said lead in gasoline was fine?
People point at AI because it’s new.

 @tschenkel @altruios @ct_bergstrom this, this is the thing. It tilts the field even further, makes all the "old" problems worse, and the various ways in which they're made worse are cumulative. The lie has not only gone around the world, before truth managed to put on it's shoes, it went a dozen times and spawned two generations of offspring, all of them avid travelers.  Automation and AI are not the same thing… I generally agree with your point, just not exactly where your point is aimed. The issues have been accelerating since 2016, Cambridge analytica Automation has been going on much longer than AI. The methodology of that time and now look nearly identical: besides image generation (something you probably take a few passes in Photoshop to clean up), I just don’t see where the efficiency gains are. Compared to what was already happening. |

I point at AI not because it's new, but because it exponentially increases the power of misinformation. Creating misinformation by hand is limited in speed and reach. Creating misinformation by automated means (of which AI is the most powerful) is essentially unlimited.
