Using AI for Political Polling
https://www.schneier.com/blog/...
See, polling has gotten hard, because people don't answer their phones any more, and if they do answer they won't talk to you, and if they do talk to you, they may tell you what they think you want to hear, rather than what they really think. So what we can do, see, is create these AI chat-bots that act like people, and then poll the chat-bots instead of calling real people.
From the article
What's so powerful about this system is that it can generalize to new scenarios and survey topics, and spit out a plausible answer, even if its accuracy is not guaranteed.
I am simply gob-smacked that adults—actual grown-up people—continue to take this stuff seriously.
you SEARCH for things rather than navigate menus
The problem with this is that the primary way that humans find things is by going to the place where we remember them being. There is ~60M years of evolution behind our spatial memory. We're REALLY good at it.
Text-based searches, not so much...
When assessing AI, we should keep in mind that the reference implementation is the human brain, which runs on 12 watts.
We bought a house ~5 years ago.
It had solar hot water panels on the roof, installed in the 80s or 90s.
They worked; they gave a boost to the heat and H/W.
But...the panels were at end-of-life, and were starting to leak, and nobody, nobody, services these things any more.
We ended up scrapping them and installing solar electric panels in their place.
your phone supplier would verify the phone owner's date of birth, the porn site asks your phone "is the owner 18 or older", and the phone says "yes" or "no". With exactly one bit of personally identifiable information.
The phone can send the age bit along with the evil bit.
Problem solved!
Two percent of zero is almost nothing.
