It’s an AI thing

If you’re going to utilize the AI, be sure you know the basic facts before spreading around the best guess. That’s my interpretation of the new world antics.

One of my all time favorite movies is The Perfect Storm. George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg team up in this on-the-edge-of-your-seat flick with skill in portraying battles at sea for the big catch. If you Google AI asking age and dates, throw a big name into your query, don’t expect a winning answer. My first question for the “AI Overview” on Google was “How old was George Clooney when he took top billing for The Perfect Storm”. See my attachments for that blooper of an answer and the best side step AI performance to have you scratching your head, evidently Clooney wasn’t even in The Perfect Storm.

AI needs help. Case in point for anyone with doubts as to getting the facts – my suggestion, do your own in-depth research and know something about the subject before relying on a tap, swipe or Siri.

It also depends on which AI one asks. I don’t use Google for anything other than a few throwaway email accounts that I use when a website I really want to visit requires registration. DuckDuckGo is my search engine, and they provide Duck.ai, from which one may choose any of four different models.

I don’t have too much of a problem using AI with basic knowledge and logic when asking a question. My first choice is to look around at various sources before coming to grips with an answer. AI for me is sometimes just a reference for getting into sync with the bottom line.
