A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI gets 45% of news wrong — but readers still trust it (pivot-to-ai.com)

The BBC and the European Broadcasting Union have produced a large study of how well AI chatbots handle summarising the news. In short: badly.

The researchers asked ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity about current events. 45% of the chatbot answers had at least one major issue. 31% were seriously wrong and 20% had major inaccuracies, from hallucinations or outdated sources. This is across multiple languages and multiple countries.

The AI distortions are “significant and systemic in nature.”

It will hurt but actually they don't vote based on information they receive. Their vote is based on emotions. That's why all the factchecking etc. is utterly useless when it comes to changing peoples minds.
