I am using a MAC laptop while spending many hours in bed. Whenever I do a search for something online, the first thing that pops up is an AI generated answer of some sort.
I'm involved with a local historical society and museum. We have a website of the form: You Know You're from Hickville if.......................... I sometimes contribute answers to readers questions. Yesterday I sent an email to the moderator telling her what I knew about a specific question. She could pass that along if she deemed it appropriate.
Today, I did a search for the specific site involved. The AI answer was almost word for word what I had provided to the moderator yesterday.
The big problem with that is that I mentioned a specific person and related that they live adjacent to the site in question. I definitely would not have done that if I had known AI was going to grab my info as it did.
Perhaps the moderator also didn't know that AI would grab the info and run away with it.
I wouldn't have known either, since when I started surveying we used Monroe mechanical calculators that you operated with a crank. But I'll take this as a warning.
That's plagiarism.
Historic boundaries and conservation efforts.
Perhaps holy-cow is himself an AI???
God help the individual that gets an AI response fed with some of the crap I search. LOL LOL.
The only thing artificial about me are the rods, bolts, clamps, etc. holding my broken spine in place. Plus the hearing aids, glasses and partial plate in my mouth.
But, perhaps I had a precognition of AI way back when I was a youngster. I envisioned that hospitals had delivery chutes connected to Heaven such that God would send down the parts for the doctors to assemble and give to the new mother. Occasionally he would forget to send down the second butt cheek, which explains all the half-asses we enccounter.
