When I first started using AI as a source of information - just because it came up first on Google - it did warn that it could make mistakes, and other checks would be wise. That’s not done anymore.
I think AI can be a great benefit; but it has now been shown that it can be used to lie and put out serious misinformation about things and people by people wanting to use it that way.
But, better than AI are people like John Mikkelsen who investigate and get people thinking and talking about something that has already been misused - as it will be in the future - and the serious dangers involved. The potential damage will make the ‘misinformation’ censors make a fuss about now, look like toddlers’ fibs.
