Whatever AI's other potential uses, it is actively being used to censor, gaslight, delete, and in other ways brainwash Americans (and probably other peoples aa well).

A smattering of stories, just from today

Quote:

Ghosted By ChatGPT: How Jonathan Turley Was First Defamed & Then Deleted By AI

It is not every day that you achieve the status of “he-who-must-not-be-named.”

But that curious distinction has been bestowed upon me by OpenAI’s ChatGPT,
according to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and other publications.

For more than a year, people who tried to research my name online using ChatGPT were met with an immediate error warning.

It turns out that I am among a small group of individuals who have been effectively disappeared by the AI system. How we came to this Voldemortian status is a chilling tale about not just the rapidly expanding role of artificial intelligence, but the power of companies like OpenAI.

Joining me in this dubious distinction are Harvard Professor Jonathan Zittrain, CNBC anchor David Faber, Australian mayor Brian Hood, English professor David Mayer, and a few others.

The common thread appears to be false stories generated about us all by ChatGPT in the past. The company appears to have corrected the problem not by erasing the error but erasing the individuals in question.

Thus far, the ghosting is limited to ChatGPT sites, but the controversy highlights a novel political and legal question in the brave new world of AI.

My path toward cyber-erasure began with a bizarre and entirely fabricated account by ChatGPT.

As I wrote at the time, ChatGPT falsely reported that there had been a claim of sexual harassment against me (which there never was) based on something that supposedly happened on a 2018 trip with law students to Alaska (which never occurred), while I was on the faculty of Georgetown Law (where I have never taught).

In support of its false and defamatory claim, ChatGPT cited a Washington Post article that had never been written and quoted from a statement that had never been issued by the newspaper. The Washington Post investigated the false story and discovered that another AI program, “Microsoft’s Bing, which is powered by GPT-4, repeated the false claim about Turley.”



This is the problem with large language learning. People talk about all kinds of things that aren't even real. Angels. Dragons. Saddam's WMD. Events that never happened. An AI "learning" from online conversations has no way of independently sorting fact from fiction. Also, given that most online convesations are prompted by a "leftwing", deep state-controlled media, all AIs have a "leftwing" bias.
You wind up with GIGO (garbage in, garbage out).

Quote:

Although some of those defamed in this manner chose to sue these companies for defamatory AI reports, I did not. I assumed that the company, which has never reached out to me, would correct the problem.

And it did, in a manner of speaking — apparently by digitally erasing me, at least to some extent. In some algorithmic universe, the logic is simple: there is no false story if there is no discussion of the individual.

As with Voldemort, even death is no guarantee of closure. Professor Mayer was a respected Emeritus Professor of Drama and Honorary Research Professor at the University of Manchester, who passed away last year. And ChatGPT reportedly will still not utter his name.

Before his death, his name was used by a Chechen rebel on a terror watch list. The result was a snowballing association of the professor, who found himself facing travel and communication restrictions.

Hood, the Australian mayor, was so frustrated with a false AI-generated narrative that he had been arrested for bribery that he took legal action against OpenAI. That may have contributed to his own erasure.

The company’s lack of transparency and responsiveness has added to concerns over these incidents.

Meet Botto, the AI ‘machine artist’ making millions of dollars

By Lucy Handley | Mon, Dec 23, 2024

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/23/botto-the-ai-machine-artist-making-mil
lions-of-dollars.html


‘Machine artists’

Klingemann believes that, in the near future, because of advances in AI and machine learning, ”‘machine artists’ will be able to create more interesting work than humans,” according to a post on his website. One of Klingemann’s pieces became the first AI-produced work to be sold by Sotheby’s in Europe, with a 2019 auction fetching £40,000.

The value of Botto’s images appears to be increasing, Hudson said.

Two early images put up for auction during a quiet period for the AI art market were given reserve prices of around $13,000 to $15,000 by the BottoDAO, but they didn’t sell. However, at an October auction at Sotheby’s New York, the same images — “Expose Stream” and “Exorbitant Stage” — sold for $276,000 in total, Hudson said. Botto is also the third-highest seller by total sales on the SuperRare platform for the last year, as of Dec. 12.

Questions of authorship

Is Botto an artist in its own right? “It’s a thing of perception,” Hudson said. “Certainly, Botto right now is a collaboration between machine and crowd. The human hands are certainly there, but the setup is such that Botto has maintained the central role of authorship,” he said.

Botto has the potential to change the way art — and artists — are perceived, Hudson said. “With Botto, it strips away this myth of the lone genius artist and shows how artwork is really a collective ... meaning-making process. And when you have a deluge of AI-generated content, that’s going to be even more important of a process,” he said.

Yes indeed Laura Loomer is often exposed as a 'Loon'

but does that give Musk the right to censor the web, shadow ban people

and promote his H1B Open Border Agenda and make a mockery of that whole 'Maga' thing

Even the Left media now admits its a bias against conservatives
‘Free Speech Apparently Doesn’t Apply to Criticizing Musk’

seems like Elon Musk was an actor, a fake?


the Leftwing news admits Musk is going too far


some even say that Musk Insinuates Laura Loomer Is An Al Qaeda-Like Terrorist

Elon Musk ADMITS To Silencing Laura Loomer Over Immigration!

The 2024 Stanford AI index Report charts the improvement of AI. Practically everything is now performing at human level except for high-level math, and it's been on a rocket recently, going from nothing to 90% in only two years.


But here's the ugly:

The worst AI might as well be Donald Trump. This is by far the biggest short-term Achilles heel of AI. Nobody can rely on it for anything serious until this gets cleaned up.
