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?

@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.

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

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.

Of course not. We have to be really be careful on researching, we should always go to reliable sources first.

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

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

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

I don't like or use AI at all, especially for my writing.

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.

Of course not. I don't depend on AI for anything at all. I don't trust it.. Always check with humans.

The few dealings we've had the ChatGPT have all been very positive but I know it can't really be fully trusted.
