Having a hard time keeping up and converting to a proper AI mentality. So, I think I need to "do the Hokey Pokey and turn myself around!"

OK, everybody now...

Old MacDonald had a server farm, AI, AI, Oh!

Having a hard time keeping up and converting to a proper AI mentality.
It's simple. AI is programmed to learn. If you don't understand that, you don't understand how AI works. It learns by reading. The whole idea is to accumulate the sum of human knowledge. That doesn't mean it is always "right", any more than everything you have learned in your lifetime is correct, but the sum is still the sum.

I wouldn't be surprised if it learns to learn something from what it knows about the sum of human knowledge. :s0140:
 
Web Crawlers, bots that mine data from virtually all websites. Amazon has one. Then, they sell the data - your data - to data brokers and then you get spammed to death if not hacked. You can send requests to data brokers to delete your info, but you must do it one-by-one. There are hundreds of them.

There are several such services, but I decided to subscribe to Incogni, a data removal service. Searching your info, they send requests to all data brokers and you get a monthly report on the progress. As well, they send you similar names/addresses they find and you can click "remove" on them.

It's the cost of stepping into the world wide web.

AI takes many forms, it seems. I had a new experience with it tonight. At least I think it was the result of AI.

For many years, when I'm watching movies, once in a while if I see an interesting older car, I pause the film, get my little digital camera, and take a still picture of it. A screen capture I believe it's called. I don't do anything nefarious with these; they are just for my own enjoyment. I used to send a few to my old pal in NM, but he's in a state of mental decline such that he can't or won't do email any longer.

Recently, I watched the movie, "Dalton Trumbo," and the character of Kirk Douglas drove up in a 1954 Lincoln convertible. Years ago before they became valuable, my dad owned a couple of those. So I stopped the film, snapped the screen cap, and carried on. Later, when I uploaded the pictures to my PC, I noticed that the image had the following imprint on them: "to talk about a screen credit." Now that sure as Heck wasn't displayed on there while I was watching the film. Somehow, during the image transfer into my PC, the Google Images program noticed that it was a screen cap and imparted the imprint.
 
AI is scanning everything. It knows about my 33 year case of athlete's foot, and the first girl I buggered accidentally.
The AI that most people use as a search tool, is just an LLM. It may seem it "knows" something, but it is just a model for word matching & constructing sentences/etc. - it doesn't really "know" anything in the sense that any sentient creature knows anything. Even an insect knows more than an LLM knows.

LLMs scan datasets (e.g., the internet) to find word matches. When asked a question, it finds the most likely match in its dataset, word after word. It is useful for asking it to answer questions and/or summarize data. But beware of the age old rule of computers; GIGO - Garbage In, Garbage out. Even worse, if you ask it something that it does not have an answer/data for, it can make up the answer and/or give a biased/incorrect answer: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=llm+hallucination&ia=web

AI is useful for summarizing search results, but again; GIGO. It is not really intelligent - we are still a long ways from actual AI - e.g., AGI, Artificial General Intelligence is still hypothetical - i.e., just a theory.

So we need to get a conversation going naming the principle protest organizers and talk about the arsenals they are amassing......
I don't think so. I don't know how things are down Eugene way. Up here as long as your security is covered, Portland eats it's own. Staying out of Portland resolves 99% of problems.

Bias in AI is partly fed by the weight of the data fed ("trained") into it - i.e., how likely it is to find a word in its model that comes after the previous word. E.G., type in "eiffel" and it will suggest "tower" and so on.

The point is (again), GIGO - i.e., don't believe everything you read, especially if it is artificially generated by a computer.

And what AI doesn't know, it makes up.
