It's not intelligent. in The Napkin.

You know how Windows and Mac is just a GUI over an infrastructure we used to interact with directly? So-called AI is nothing more than a search engine with a glossy output system. Whatever it’s pulling from remains hidden.

Reminds me of that episode of TNG where they had to deal with a kid’s computer, that only gave restricted results.

Yeah, I know I have a Luddite in me. These things are tools, I know. But also. The nerd in me likes seeing underneath just a little.

Search engines have gotten worse since Google’s inception. How long until people rely on so-called AI, not realizing it’s pulling from incomplete or even false data/input? Do I dare hypothesize such tools are already manipulated for nefarious purposes?

Remember: PragerU isn’t a real university.

I think I’ll have my tuna wrap now.
