It takes effort to be an informed citizen. Artificial intelligence tools offer an alluring shortcut — but they’re not without risk.

since when do LLMs care about what is true or not? I must’ve missed that, we fixed the hallucination problem?
also, rest assured, Grok has almost certainly been tweaked to say “whoever’s on the Republican ticket”, and probably most other big AI companies in the US who benefit from this administration will do the same, just less ham-fistedly and more subtly than Musk will. If flagship LLMs in general were to start giving ringing endorsements of leftists, I have zero doubt in my mind that would not be allowed to continue, not under the current regime.
But AI has a hallucination problem similar in the way every single human being in existence has an imperfect recollection hallucinatory problem. We have to distinguish accuracy from precision and take that with a grain of salt. I do wonder when the last time people here have used some of these later GPTs, because they absolutely have value and vast consensus of scientists agree.
How one regulates it, is of course another story that I agree with you on. I’ve already used AI successfully to combat far-right trolls though.
