      Blaming a language model for lying is like charging a deer with jaywalking.

        the researchers said all AI posts were approved by a human before posting, it was their choice how many lies to include

        Nobody is blaming the AI model. We are blaming the researchers and users of AI, which is kind of the point.

        Which, in an ideal world, is why AI generated comments should be labeled.

        I always break when I see a deer at the side of the road.

        (Yes people can lie on the Internet. If you funded an army of propagandists to convince people by any means necessary I think you would find it expensive. People generally find lying like this to feel bad. It would take a mental toll. With AI, this looks possible for cheaper.)

          I’m glad Google still labels the AI overview in search results so I know to scroll further for actually useful information.

      That lie was definitely inappropriate, but it would still have been inappropriate if it was told by a human. I think it’s useful to distinguish between bad things that happen to be done by an AI and things that are bad specifically because they are done by an AI. How would you feel about an AI that didn’t lie or deceive but also didn’t announce itself as an AI?

        I think when posting on a forum/message board it’s assumed you’re talking to other people, so AI should always announce itself as such. That’s probably a pipe dream though.

        If anyone wants to specifically get an AI perspective they can go to an AI directly. They might add useful context to people’s forum conversations, but there should be a prioritization of actual human experiences there.
