“AI” and all of us.

[Pep]

AI is being pumped up everywhere. It might be the “latest thing” . . . . . . but definitely not the “greatest thing”

Artificial Intelligence in most cases is just that , ARTIFICIAL and usually loaded with half-truths and misinformation.

Here at Talk Bass we share information and help those who might need some assistance with most anything related to music, equipment and of course all things bass related.

Don’t depend on AI. Make sure what you share is accurate and true because searching for the correct info is becoming more difficult thanks to AI.

Sharing incorrect info could cost fellow members lots of money in unneeded repairs, purchases, and end up damaging or destroying their equipment.
If you don’t know the answer to a problem, just step back and let someone who knows offer assistance. If the thread turns into something you do know, step in and offer assistance.

I bring this up because misinformation is starting to pop-up more frequently here on Talk Bass. It’s much too easy to get incorrect info and believe it’s correct.
We need to make every effort to keep Talk Bass “The Place” for friendly advice and accurate info, for each of us, and future members.

I agree. I see way too much mis/dis-information on TB, and I usually step in to help correct such issues. Sadly, there are also way too many members who give those of us a hard time, basically telling us to F.O.

Here's a freaky story involving an AI chatbot affirming a guy's delusions that contributed to a murder/suicide. It's very scary. Unfortunately, the most detailed reports are behind paywalls, but you can get the gist from this.

How ChatGPT fueled delusional man who killed mom, himself in posh Conn. town

Stein-Erik Soelberg, 56, had confided his darkest suspicions to OpenAI’s popular bot, which he nicknamed “Bobby,” before the shocking murder-suicide

TalkBass should be a place where you can ask a question, and people who know the answer will respond.

If you have to look it up, the poster could’ve done that.

Same here buddy. Those little splurges now and then are a nice walk down memory lane.

Overall, it falls in the category of “enough rope”.

I can supply you with all sorts of totally reliable misinformation on pretty much any topic.

Sound logic.

AI is only as good as the data behind it. As you said, we must do our part to keep the data as accurate as possible.

I checked with Chat GPT and it disapproves of this message.

In all seriousness, consider AI to be a super duper search engine that can check multiple sites for data very VERY quickly, then apply simple logic to it's findings. If the sites it checks has incorrect data, it will spit out incorrect results.

It's that simple.

I've stopped looking for new music on Spotify. There's no way to know if it's NOT AI generated music.

 

[HubbardsFate]

Let me just say that, at 50 years old, and looking at the current state of society (on a global scale), including, yes, AI, I feel pretty vindicated RE: my non-desire to bring kids into this world.

A Forrest Gump quote that starts with “my momma says ____ is as ____ does” comes to mind.
The same dissidents have little, to no real life experience with the subject they are debating.

Usually starting they’re retort with “I’ve read “ “I’ve heard” “I’ve been told” etc
