Artificial? Yes. Intelligent? Not So Much. 0

At Psychology Today Blogs, Matt Grawitch argues that one of the effects of the growing use of artificial “intelligence” has been paradoxically to highlight the importance of human expertise and research. A snippet:

But the internet also brought challenges in determining the credibility and accuracy of information. Those with insufficient expertise to discriminate what was credible from what was not could easily research their way into questionable conclusions (e.g., the Earth is flat, vaccines cause autism). And we saw a rise in people claiming they had “done their own research” to justify their views, regardless of the legitimacy of the views they endorsed.

(snip)

Fast-forward to today and the increasing availability of AI-driven tools for research and decision-making. While many of these tools are very confined in terms of the scope of their capabilities, the introduction of broader AI, like Bard and ChatGPT, makes it possible for people to by-pass the process of researching a topic and building an argument and head straight to the conclusion or decision. The dangers of this, though, have been on full display recently, such as when a professor incorrectly flunked all his students for cheating (because ChatGPT told him they had) or the lawyer who used ChatGPT for legal research only to find that the cases he had cited didn’t exist (he was subsequently sanctioned).
