"AI is not a source"

Beautiful clip and talk. Cite your sources. Gimme that bibliography

I was arguing with the homie about US oil production and I looked up some info and showed it to him and he scoffs because it's a CNN article and said you can't trust them as a source.

I then spent 30 minutes trying to explain to him that CNN isn't the source, they are reporting on information, the Department of Energy is the source, they have the information 😂

Unfortunately, media literacy will not save us

Chrono Trigger as background music? Good choice.

This is reddit, the only source you need is "trust me bro!" /s

Problem is this was something that people didn't learn before AI, they'd quote shit they heard from one person who didn't give their source or any actual evidence. Now they're hearing it from someone who tells them what they want to hear and makes up the evidence to make it look legit.

This lesson was supposed to be done like 20 years ago.

I always say, if AI is 95% accurate and 5% lies/hallucinations, then there exists out there somewhere a person who has only seen AI lie.

That person is me. I swear I cannot believe people take this shit seriously.

The problem here is threefold, first is that many people can’t read to save their lives, they also do not know how to find and correctly cite information, and lastly they are so lazy that they will run with anything that appears to give a summary.

Remember all those people who thought they were cheating in college by reading Cliff’s Notes or Spark Notes versions instead of learning to actually read?

This is the end result.

"Do your own research"

Is not the phrase to use.  The people that use that phrase think facebook, ai, google, twitter, IS the research.

The phrase should be "Show the actual evidence" or "here is the source"

Lol one of my coworkers confidently told me that if I'm ever on a cruise ship and they're giving away ice cream, it's because someone died on the ship and the have to make room in the freezer.
