Hi fellow Ranters,
Today I wanted to laugh a little bit on how computers act quite strangely sometimes!
Comical AI or Computer Failure
The other day I was having a nice debate with a good friend of mine on here, @invest4free about why I have a high dislike for the current state of electric vehicles (I haven't forgotten about you man! I read the comment but just working on my reply and proper information among other things :D) and I wanted to fact check myself on one of the points I was making about wind turbines to make sure I wasn't just blowing smoke up his ass, which can certainly happen and I will admit I'm wrong when I find out!
So I was doing that and using the lovely Presearch to do a quick web search and figure out what the relatively accurate information was for my query on how long wind turbine blades last, and as you can see in the snapshot below, my web query was pretty specific but then it spits out weather as one of the top results?! LOL What the hell?
What I found comical about that situation as well was that I don't even live anywhere remotely near Vietnam LOL otherwise I'd be hanging out with @trangbaby here and there! I did get the answer to my question in the end but I found it pretty funny that we trust computers with so much faith, yet sometimes when they are wrong, they are completely wrong.
Not to say that humans aren't wrong and don't screw things up, we get things wrong every single day lol but we put this religious fervor towards computers for some strange reason and they are also capable of being wrong and have things messed up and crossed so it spits out pretty inaccurate information.
I think this is a pretty relevant topic at the moment though! With the emergence of AI chats like ChatGPT and others, we need to have such a strong awareness that these things are not 100% correct all the time, every time. It was built by humans after all, for now!
We absolutely need to have safeguards against the control of AI in our daily lives because it's not going to end well, nor does it ever, when we make hasty monumental shifts like this. Hell, if people try to assimilate with AI the way the fucking Borg from Star Trek, we are going to be in deep shit as a species because of the way some crazy ass people like to control others. There is no turning back, only going forward and we need to be very careful. I didn't want the post to get dark and depressing but we are heading full speed ahead towards a cliff with only a few moments to change course to a safer direction.
It makes you wonder why people like Steve Jobs spent the last years of his life, before and during his battle with cancer, trying to fight against AI because he knew very much what it was going to be attempted to be used for and how much it will change humanity forever, and likely for the worse before the better. I hope people see the fiasco with the China flu and the medical treatments that were forced upon the world as a sign of how hasty and haphazard governments and massive companies view the actual health, safety and well being of the population of average and below people in the world. We do not matter to them besides as a business entity to extract money from. We cannot let them control the AI and even worse, implant shit into us. We are but a tool to get to their end game and absolutely nothing more. The more skepticism we have of them overall, the better we can manage the future with this type of technology, to take it slowly and make calculations instead of just jumping in with both feet. You will often land on a shard of glass and slice the fuck out of your foot.
