    Wouldn’t senators have access to actual experts who, unlike ChatGPT, would be correct close to 100% of the time?

      Yeah but that would require effort and why not shake the magic box and see what falls out instead?

      All the “experts in Medicare/ Medicaid” in DC are payed shills of the health insurance industry recommending they both be dissolved or privatized.

      Honestly chatgpt might be better as it does have a tendency to “both sides” political topics. Of course you can inject your own biases in the question and chatgpt will usually agree with you, but it’ll at least sometimes give you pushback which an insurance lobbyist will never do.

        You’re right that it’s nowhere near 100% like I suggested. But ya, I wear that bias with pride.

          I get your bias, but in this instance the human experts he’d be listening to would be health insurance lobbyists, not people who care about others’ health. ChatGPT, which is obviously incapable of feeling compassion, may very well have more compassion for human life compared to those.

            I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion that he’d be listening to only lobbyists. Theoretically, one could surround themselves with a diverse group of actual experts.

      The problem is having enough experts for confused but interested people to talk to, having a “live” response to questions is always going to get a stronger reaction from people

      it’s kind of what is supposed to happen with news interviews but with people having good reasons to not trust big news outlets looking to something even as bad as ai makes sense to me

    This is what terrifies me, not whether AI will get to the point where it will be reliable, but that people won’t know. People are idiots with no critical thinking skills, and every day they become more idiotic.

    Just because ChatGPT sounds confident, it doesn’t mean it is right.

      It’s not even reliability, AI is pushed to agree with users to increase the time they spend interacting with it.

      If this asshat asks keeps asking about things that make it seem clear he doesn’t think poor people deserve medical care or government assistance it’s going to start telling him he’s absolutely right and has cut through the political discourse to see the simple truth that some people prefer to leech off of the government instead of finding a job.

      It doesn’t matter how fucked up your world view is, if you keep talking to AI in an ongoing context window it will start to agree with you.

        I can see it going both ways. If he starts new chats all the time, it could give him info he usually isn’t exposed to.

        I don’t think people who use voice AI tend to start new chats though.

          He has a whole lot of experience in not listening to anything he doesn’t want to hear.

          When the AI tells him something he doesn’t like then it’s a stupid thing repeating commie libral talking points. When it tell him he’s right that the poor shouldn’t have health care anyway and he’s a rare and brilliant thinker then it’s finally telling the truth.

      A couple of years ago I asked chatgpt to recommend some areas in Portugal with a fairly mild climate, and it recommended a place that I looked up, to find the climate was described by the locals as 10 months of winter and 2 months of hell.

      Can confirm. People lean so much on tech they switch off their brains. Gps and parking cameras come to mind. The number of people crossing multiple lanes last minute to hit their exits and taking up to 5 minutes to L park is getting ridiculous.

      Tech should be a tool, not a crutch for able adults.

        This is how I use my GPS:

        • What’s the next turn? Okay, thanks, I’ll look for it.
        • What’s my exit? Okay, I’ll look for it.

        I once asked a family member to be my navigator while I was driving their car in their town. They took their phone out, let the GPS give the instructions, and then proceed to start watching tiktoks. I missed my first exit because the GPS told me “this is your exit” as I was passing the exit.

      I am 100% certain Tommy fucking Tuberville’s notion of “fact checking” consists solely of asking “does this confirm my shitty, racist and anti-scientific biases or not?”
