I’m no Luddite when it comes to AI but I dunno how to feel about this either.
Those bots are not a good way to inform yourself. They’re a bit too prone to say inane shit while vomiting certainty, they convey the undeclared political bias of the data set, and even when they’re right they’re simply not cost-efficient regarding water/energy consumption. I think a good FAQ system addressing newbie questions would be better, beyond that referring them directly to the literature.
I think they are pretty clear about their political bias and the direction. Like any tool, I guess it can be a good reference source or a total garbage can, depending on how it is administered. I’m still sticking with reading printed material, so its definitely not for me; maybe the younger set.
Ah, that’s actually good. I don’t mind some bias (I’m sceptic on sources claiming to be “unbiased”), but I want it to be as explicit as possible.
I just tested it and confirmed what you said, by asking “What’s the role of peasants in revolutionary processes?”. The answer quoted Trotsky almost exclusively; that works like a charm for me (I’m mostly Trotskyist), but a Maoist would already scream bloody murder.
