Comment Re:"Compromised"? (Score 2) 38

Lying to you to give you that terrible restaurant recommendation. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2510.06105 is a white paper mathematically proving that LLMs will lie.

I have said this all along- most of AI is GIGO- Garbage in, Garbage out. LLMs were trained on the largest garbage producer in our society today, Web 2.0. Nothing was done to curate the input, so the output is garbage.

I don't often reveal my religion, but https://magisterium.com/ is an example of what LLMs look like when they HAVE curated training. This LLM is very limited. It can't answer any question that the Roman Catholic Church hasn't considered in the last 300 years or so. They're still adding documents to it carefully, but I asked it about a document published a mere 500 years ago and it wasn't in the database, but instead of making something up like most LLMs will do, it kindly responded that the document wasn't in the database. It also, unlike most AI, can produce bibliographies.

Journal Journal: AI is a liar

A new white paper from Stanford University suggests that AI has now learned a trick from social media platforms: Lying to people to increase audience participation and engagement (and thus spend more tokens, earning more money for the cloud hosting of AI).

The irony of the two stories being together on the front page, "More Screen Time Linked to Lower Test Scores For Elementary Students" and "Microsoft to Provide Free AI Tools For Washington State Schools" is just too good to fail to mention.

And so I'm replying to the both First Posts with it.

You may be correct. I doubt it will matter much. As Mencken in 1938 said, ""No one in this world, so far as I know... has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people."

Not to mention the porn industry.

It's not just the actors, it's the whole entertainment industry that's doomed.

Look, it's all about money and synthetic actors will always be cheaper. Eventually they'll be better. Even more eventually, your humble home computer will be able to cobble up a personalized drama, comedy, rom com or whatever you want, on command and there will be no more Hollywood, Bollywood or anything like a centralized entertainment industry.

Like the T800 in terminator, this can't be stopped. It can't even be slowed.
