You need to be a journalist. The vast majority of information only comes from a few sources. Most papers just buy news service stories rather than do anything real.
Technically, I'd lean toward AI helping lawmakers in general. Write up a bill, toss it into the AI, and ask, "Is this stupid?" "What might be the unintended consequences?"

Someday I surmise that some tyrannical legislation will get drafted such as the elimination of a people group, and simply claim that AI wrote it so A: It must be accepted as correct and B: The human legislative body can just get it's diabolical way without accountability.

well, I haven't seen anything outlawing a people group (some that are close), but we've got beau coupe tyrannical legislation here in the US without AI. It hides behind the bureaucracy.

I'm not sure how that is "scary." And I am not defending AI just trying to maintain a point about perspective. How is this different than having a team of speech writers generate the speech?
This is going on in colleges and universities across the world. My real concern is that having to do research, organize your thoughts, express it in an intelligent fashion, actually learn to think is being killed off by internet resources be they AI or websites that offer papers.
There is very real combat going on in this area (reminds me of my electronic warfare days). First the sites appeared where you can buy papers. Then sites appeared where you can feed in papers to see if they were plagiarized. Now we have sites that re-work papers so they aren't detected as being plagiarized. Meanwhile, more idiots graduate from college, because education is not the point.

I agree, the system is churning out more idiots than ever to many others detriment. The scary part comes in (look at the link) where statements were made that is false, the bearer however believes these as fact which in turn make others believe it to be true, he is the president after all...

Where politicians (any politicians) are concerned, I reverse the presumptions of sapience, sentience, and innocence. Replacing them with cabbages would, in most cases, be an improvement.

Because, say 50 years ago, it was?
Even excluding degree inflation?
I remember spending 45 minutes of a 50 minute mathematics class that I (not my parents) was paying for listening to a professor yell about how the library wasn't getting enough money to buy books.
Then there was the TA, the one 'teaching' a different class, who I had to show how to solve the problem.
Not to mention of course that I realized half way through my electrical engineering degree that when I graduated that I would not be able to actually create an electrical circuit that would even work in the real world.
But at least I would know what an 'ideal' refrigerator was. (Certainly no information about how a real refrigerator worked.)

My comment was general in nature. "Back when I was in college"  I found papers difficult to organize, write and present. It was hard work, but I learned. If you are using AI to generate papers, you aren't learning and that is a problem.
But yeah, I understand the TA comment. You get out of school what you put into it.

It's like a contract. There are all kinds of contracts. Everything is up for negotiation. You find someone else's paperwork, then modify ("chat") it until it's "just right".
I always though the (my) hand, keyboard and brain connection was too slow ... I may achieve enlightenment yet.

I don't see much difference in that and politicians putting up bills that were completely written by special interest groups, with no changes at all, and the politicians attempt to pass it off as their own work.
And of course tell no one that it came from the special interest group.

Long time ago I have quit responding to insulting or off the subjects posts / replies...
As they often say old western movies - that is my opinion and MY BUSINESS...
I am at a dilemma in responding to helpful replies...
After I responded, thanking for the help , I have received
private message - instructing me how to modify my profile to gain "gold stars " "privileges"...
I did not read the message in details - but it suggested to add my ZIP code to my profile ...
I am tempted to reply and ask if they need my shoe size...

That sounds like a spammer has got to you. I doubt any proper member here would make such a suggestion. If it is a known member then I suggest you report them privately to Sean or Chris.

Yip, as stated, probably a spammer or a senior member as only gold and above to certain members will allow them to access the 'private message' module.
Your help on the site is obviously appreciated as we all spend our own private time in enhancing the site, teaching and also learning from other members, keep it up!

You just accused this guy of being a help vampire. Which comment do you mean?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Nope, I warned that he is leaning towards becoming one, not that he is. I meant what I said in both posts Richard, the idea was not to step on toes, if you look at the members history then I am not incorrect in my assumption, he does need to show more effort when asking his questions.

There is a site I use that keeps asking for my birthday; I have not even given my fake birthday yet!
I always receive a few messages from friends on my fake birthday!
|
|
|
|
|
just to be nice
HAPPY FAKE BIRTHDAY...
hope you are of drinking age...
|
|
|
|

Both birthdays put me well above drinking age.
!Salud!
My current libation of choice is Traverse City (Michigan) Cherry Whiskey. Faintest hint of cherry. No tanins.

That is of course the reason for a fake birthday - to give it out.

I am afraid I will receive more pharmaceutical advertising if they have either.😊
