>>>This feels like thinly veiled advocacy for censorship and breaking the internet. And soliciting federal grants to research how to do it
This is what I took away after reading it as well.
I found it strange the author used such a poor example to prove their point such as; AI recommending porcelain in baby formula and readers may actually put crushed porcelain in their baby formula.
This is such a poor example because you would literally have to be brain dead to do something like this.
The bar needs to be set a lot higher to prove to me that AI misinformation is a threat.
I don't see how AI porcelain baby formula is that far off from flesh brain ideas such as drinking bleach, eating tide pods and Nyquil marinated chicken.
The point was if you're dumb enough, marinating chicken in NyQuil and washing it down with bleach will seem like an award winning idea. No amount of filters and censorship will prevent people like this from existing and engaging in self harm. So why continue to try and prevent it?
The tide pod teenage phase is similar. Teenagers will always find reckless things to do and share it to become popular. It's what teens do. Good parents make the difference here.
Tide pods thing was a failure of our current information systems.
Teens were joking about eating tidepods. The MSM news heard the joke and reported it as factual, and only after the news reported it as factual did people actually eat them.
