alt Hacker News> The thing is it gets you the wrong answer so fast
If oftentimes happens that you don't know that that's the wrong answer, or you don't realize it right away, for that matter, and hence that's I think that AI is a new (and very big and important) source of information entropy.
Just a recent personal example, yesterday I was curious about the historical figure that was present in an online photo taken in 1930s Romania. Google's Gemini was very quick to point out that that was (military dictator) Ion Antonescu [1], which it was obvious that he wasn't. I wrote down that that wasn't in fact Ion Antonescu, at which point Gemini was very quickly and very surely providing me the info that that guy indeed wasn't Ion Antonescu, but (former Foreign Affairs) minister Manoilescu. At this point I wasn't so sure myself, I don't have a visual image of Manoilescu in my head, so (ironically) I had to AI-dumb google for Manoilescu's available online images and it seemed like Gemini had been wrong a second time. I didn't bother asking it for a third time.
Just to put things into perspective, here in Romania it is illegal to mention Ion Antonescu's name (and propaganda image) in a positive matter, as in one risks prison for doing that, now, just imagine that the political powers that be here decide to use an AI-tool like Gemini in order to identify potential law-breakers in that respect. People would risk going to jail just because Google's Gemini was completely wrong in identifying a WW2 military dictator. Absolutely atrocious product(s).
