I met someone recently whose special interest is AI and they keep sharing with me all sorts of fascinating things about AI which is genuinely interesting but then I just went to Bing and asked it why in 1920 people started referring to Saturday as "Alaska's Friday" and it generated a paragraph about how Alaskan miners worked six days a week so "Saturday was their Friday" and now Alaskan businesses offer special "Alaska's Friday" discounts and specials on Saturdays. It put footnotes after every sentence referring to fake citations including big credible places like CNN.
And like, sure the defense here is that this is just how the technology is right now and it'll just keep getting better and stop being so easy to gaslight but like, why is it in public access at this stage you know?
