Artificial? Yes. Intelligent? Not So Much. 0

Michael Cohen hoists himself on the “AI” petard.

Michael Cohen, former President Trump’s ex-fixer and personal lawyer, said in newly unsealed court filings that he accidentally gave his lawyer fake legal citations concocted by the artificial intelligence program Google Bard.

(snip)

Cohen wrote in a sworn declaration unsealed Friday that he has not kept up with “emerging trends (and related risks)” in legal technology and was not aware that Google Bard was a generative text service that, like Chat-GPT, could create citations and descriptions that “looked real but actually were not.” He instead believed the service to be a “supercharged search engine.”

Just because you see (or hear) it on a computer screen, it ain’t necessarily so.

Is this ignorance or stupidity?

Or (more likely, given his record) both?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Afterthought:

Many years ago, when I was a young ‘un just a couple of years into my first real job (as opposed to summer jobs), my then girl friend and I had occasion to visit an apartment occupied by two young men.

I remember that she was rather taken aback when she saw that there was only one bed in the apartment.

But, really, they were just being who they were, and they were harming nobody.

Who does it harm to just let let persons be who they are in the privacy of their own homes?

As an aside, I can attest that no marriage of mine has ever been harmed by anything that happened in a same sex bedroom.

And, in more news of the fiendly skies . . . .
