AI (artificial Intelligence) sent me a message. Super volcano is waking up. AI is not a good article writer so I asked which one. It said it was the one in Iceland. I have no hopes of pronouncing or spelling the name. I saw that volcano erupting live last year. I told AI that it is not a super volcano and it has been awake for years. AI said I was right. What if I was writing an article and I used this false information Why did AI lie? Do you depend on AI for writing? Do you check information with a reliable source? What do you think?

AI Have you noticed the style of writing AI uses. Real people do not speak or write like that. Wonder if people will ever lost using AI on here Volcanos are cool, but actually hot when they erupt Iceland is a nice place I think Orb post soon

@Ineeddentures, Definitely one can make out if it's a human written article. Or AI generated one. It's just the matter of being used to that sort of content.

You are so right. I agree. Real people do not write that way. I think Iceland is a great place but have never been there.

@akalinus I don't know... Do you use AI a lot? I don't use it at all.

I don't use it for writing. It is forbidden on most writing sites. I think the worst part is that it does not have any life experiences, emotions, or feelings.

I can't figure out why they sent that to me. I wonder if I can block it.

My guess is that it won't be too long until AI doesn't trust us.

I don't trust it for other reasons either. You know all those disaster videos it puts out with bridges, lookout points and so on fall in landslides? Sometimes i wonder if that is what they want to do to us.

@akalinus Sometimes I wonder if many of the events seen today are generated and not actual footage. There are fakes using politicians that look like the real thing too. I saw a video on YouTube that showed a landslide in China. It was posted by a guy in China that showed footage of the same place but there was no landslide visible. It's become so bad, people don't know how what to believe. I think the powers that be, want it that way.

@Vikingswest1 I don't know what to believe online anymore. Politicians and religious leaders are shown giving advice but it is not really Billy Graham or whoever. I am sure these are for economic gain but stopped listening to them.

I just rely on AI to correct my spelling when I type articles.

Yes, I think spelling and grammar checkers are probably AI.

Yes, it is a robot and that is a problem. It spouts out facts and stuff but it often does not make sense.

I would never, and will never, rely on AI for writing. I can do it well enough on my own, and prefer to do it that way. On my own.

@akalinus Doing it the old fashioned way, to me, is the best way. I mean, one thing writers have is a particular style or voice, and that's what makes what they write unique to them. When I am writing an opinion piece, I'm not just sharing my opinion, I'm sharing my perspective. AI can't do that.

Last year for some reason the second grade teachers used AI to find facts for their students for their living museum characters. There were lots of errors. I do not plan to use AI for anything if I can help it.

I don't know if the errors are real or deliberate. When I questioned the super volcano and said the information was wrong, it admitted and gave facts about super volcanoes. I think giving wrong info was purposely done.

Hey Jo, seeing you after a long time. I hope you are doing great! AI is great as long as you enjoy it for creating imaginative images and videos. Just enjoy the content. That's it. Human interference is a must at times.

@akalinus I would still opt for conservative writing style where human interference is but natural. I think it's another thing if we can copyright anything that's written by AI. Definitely it's a plagiarised bunch of content. But the way it's written and presented, you can easily make out that it is an AI-generated content.

I would not use it for writing articles or books. You can't copyright anything written by AI. It is plagiarised from countless scraped intellectual properties belonging to writers and creaters..

@akalinus I was writing a speech about something and I tried it. It was so simple that I felt I could do better.

What did you do with it? I had a dream about a boy who went to an island and found a dragon egg in a cave. I asked AI to write a story about that. They did and some parts were okay. I would never send it anywhere. I just wanted to see what it was like.

Me either. I wish it never got here. People use it to write Facebook stories full of adjectives and adverbs. I can always tell an AI story. It takes jobs away from real writers.

Well, in Iceland a recent eruption began on April 1, 2025, near GrindavĂ­k, prompting evacuations of the town and the Blue Lagoon spa. That said, I do not trust AI.

@akalinus Campi Flegrei are moving a lot right now, should I live in that area I will move and quickly. Mount Vesuvio is dangerous but it's not a super volcano.

The Iceland volcano was not a super volcano. I was thinking of Campi Flegri, Long Island, or Yellowstone. They are super.

Try to verify everything with a reliable source if you do use it. I think you have some great posts on your own.

@akalinus Thanks for the kind words. We are more likely to ask it for help with a computer problem or for bacground information that would take us ages to find for ourselves.

The developers of AI have stated clearly that occasionally it may make unconfirmed claims, which is why humans should always confirm whether or not they are true. The same is true for humans; we should never take someone's opinion at face value; we should always confirm and assess its accuracy before accepting it. The only distinction is how quickly AI can process any subject, how it arranges its ideas, and where it gathers and displays them to you.
