Just A Friendly Note - Blog Posts

i didn’t know people were out here using chatgpt to have faux-intellectual conversations but everyone note that generative AI have, most of the time, access to literally anything and everything that is posted online.

as in, right or wrong, it takes that information to answer your prompt. that’s chatgpt and literally any other open AI. as it’s not a human being, it can’t reliably determine if a source is a good one. it also cannot always interpret a source correctly. additionally, they rely on humans to code and train the models. thus we still have human error involved.

AI is a tool, certainly, but people need to understand that they are a tool, not a replacement for human intelligence. it is supplemental. ask AI for ideas for your paper, do not ask it to write it. ask AI how to solve a problem in general (and know it’s likely going to tell you wrong, depending on difficulty), don’t give it your problem and take its word for it. if you ask for a topic/article summary, go back and check it if something seems important or if you’d like to know more.

please don’t be a chump and make yourself look like a fool that can’t formulate thoughts 💕 AI will not “take over” humanity, but people using it incorrectly can/will have widespread, broadly encompassing negative effects on society.
