AI don't trust techbros

It's all very simple.

How the hell is X's context bot, which was trained on Twitter data of all things, consistently better at fact checking than Google is at fact finding?

Because Google's training data is probably the entire (search-engine-accesible part of) the internet, or at least a portion of it that includes the Onion, conspiracy sites, and Reddit shitposters named "fucksmith".

Google's AI Overview Is Spreading Conspiracies and Could Encourage Self-Harm

Why is Google's AI Overview search product spreading misinformation?

Spoiler: This is the worst yet: self-harm

This is incredibly irresponsible. Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's the best.

someone needs to bite the bullet & use an AI generator to write a Harry Potter story about how awesome trans people are.
then Rowling & her lawyers will burn the technology from the face of the Earth out of spite.

I think you underestimate how much of Twitter is shitposting, conspiracy theories, and people who think they're the Onion. (I mean, hell, the sheer volume of disinformation on there is the whole reason the fact-check bot exists.)

It's not so much an AI as it is an almost infinite number of monkeys on word processors...

It's not wrong, that website does contain that fact. There's a great one with Cobra Commander also.

It's a shame the AI part has outpaced the robotics part, for sure. Automation COULD bring us a Star Trek utopia, but there's no monetary profit in that, so...

The first thing a non-skynet AI work force does is completely crash the economy. Robots don't need money or luxury goods or food: but they'll have all the jobs. The rest of us need food, clothes, housing and such: and will have no money. The rich don't spend their own money, so once peoples savings dry up: the economy craps out because there won't be any money to spend on the crap the robots are making.
