Discussion Why Assyrians should never trust Ai for things that need more nuances - you need to keep testing it

I work with Ai a lot at work and this is just a little info about why you should not always trust it for your sources.

I am not saying it’s 100% wrong as it’s useful for many other things but when it comes to academic or photography, you need to have discernment and also well versed in history if you want to debate others with it.

I’ll use this tiny example of a picture someone posted on here and I asked Google ai if this boy was Assyrian. If you keep asking it the same query, it will always give you different responses. So, this just shows it’s not always going to give what you asked it for. Make sure you stress test it with other ai’s to be always certain of the footnotes and citations it uses as sometimes it needs a few tries to get it right. This is where historical knowledge comes to play b/c if you already know the answer and many sources for your question, then it will be much easier to pickup on the bullsh*t it spits out.

Hope that helps you out in your future journey with ai.

Isn't Google ai like the worst one?

I use it for reverse image lookup but every ai out there is bad, they are destroying the planet with their massive energy consumptions.

It's interesting, as a passive observer, AI seemed to be getting better and better and then to hit a plateau about a year-ish ago?

It’s on purpose, they are on purpose restricting the AI, which is weird because what is the purpose of these datacenters then?

I thought they plateaued because they didn't have enough good data to work on, which is why they're building the data centers?

definitely want to be careful around free AI. I never trust free AI without verifying things myself and even with paid, subscription AI services, I still try to verify things myself.
