I blogged about Microsoft’s Copilot recently, and I had the comment that this AI technology was “exciting”.
I’m more of the opinion that it (AI in general) is “concerning”. A) because of its limitations leading to false impressions and conclusions, b) because of the fact that it can be so readily abused, and c) because it could pose an existential threat and destroy the concept of trust as we know it.
Sadly, since most people just accept what is shown to them by whatever outlet they use, AI will be used to subtly (and not so subtly) push someones agenda and convince the public. I don’t think there is any way to stop it or even limit it
Yup, as Margo Channing said: “fasten your seatbelts – it’s going to be a bumpy night”. Except this is going to last a lot longer than just a night…
