How do we communicate nationally

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. AI is indeed a time saver, but at what cost?

AI saves the user time from having to sift through various sources, providing easily digestible information, without the burden of evaluating the sources or testing the assertions, or separating propaganda and spin from facts.

AI spoon feeds the user answers, regardless of whether the answers are factual, complete or contextual. No thinking required.

Based on the data dump AI provided you, you drew the conclusion that Trump’s immigration policy was “ALL about the money”, but I’m guessing you had drawn that conclusion before you asked AI for information.

Was your search phrased along the lines of “how much money did private companies make on immigrant detention?” If so, that biases the answers, limiting the info to that financial data.

A more complete, but more complex question would have been phrased “is Trump’s immigration policy driven more by the opportunities for lucrative government contracts, or by racism and sadistic cruelty?”

I shudder to think how AI would handle that question.

That’s why we must not use AI as a substitute for critical thinking, no matter how convenient it is.
