i feel bad for any writer there who’s just trying to do tech journalism
cnet’s record is terrible. first they do crapware bundling, then have factually incorrect articles written by machine learning algorithms, now this
there are definitely real concerns to be had about addictive and manipulative software, i use linux and a dumbphone as well. but “AI” is not some genius, it’s a dumb algorithm and i think ascribing these apocalyptic powers to it is ridiculous.
and using the word “consoomer” makes you look like a 4chan nazi whether that’s what you are or not.
This paper looks like it’s essentially run by the US weapons industry. It’s a subsidiary of GovExec who helps military contractors sell to the government. This means they have an interest in drumming up armed conflict and you’d have to take everything they print with this in mind.
I’d be highly skeptical of how well this would work. A language model is not a truth machine, it’s just a program that tries to write like a human. There are countless examples of ChatGPT and similar programs saying blatantly false things and making up citations out of thin air.
