I've come to think of AI as just a fast-thinking human intelligence, because it's trained by humans, with human concepts, human ideologies, and human failings and foibles.
That means that not all AI are the same. They are formed by the human inputs they are trained with, just like us. One country may develop an AI hell bent on taking over the world, but another country, somewhere, is going to have an AI with the same intent, and the two will always and ever be at odds with one another, working at cross purposes.
Now multiply that by all of the AI's in existence, and you get something resembling a human society. Each one with it's own agenda, and each one pulling in different directions, just like people.
And, like people, you will find AI's that are not just wrong, but with dead wrong opinions.
That's how you get things like the Google AI summaries. I've encountered many that were dead wrong on subjects I have personal knowledge of, stuff I've studied for years. AI doesn't yet have that benefit of years of study, and when it does have it, half of them will still be wrong, since they were "trained" with faulty inputs.
Someone needs to train an AI to do it's own due diligence, train and cross check information, develop an ability to evaluate the input information for veracity and correctness rather than simply parroting the information it is trained with, before incorporating it.
That's what intelligent people do, and for an AI to be truly intelligent, that's what the AI will have to do, too. So far, I don't think anyone is doing that, judging from the AI responses I see on the internet.
Thinking fast don't mean shit if one is thinking WRONG. it just means one can think wrong at higher speeds. It is true of programming and coding, it is true of human educational institutions, and it will also be true of AI - "garbage in, garbage out" as my programming instructors told me lo those many years ago.
Someone needs to train an AI to evaluate "garbage" information. In humans, that role usually falls to the parents, and many parents these days are falling down on that job, leaving "educators" to fill young minds with garbage information, causing them to make faulty decisions before cold hard harsh experience gives them a proper education in the following years and decades.
Will any of the AI programmers step up to the plate to properly educate their AI's as a proper parent would? That remains to be seen.
