"They're going full steam ahead to figure out how to wring a profit out of this stuff," EFF’s Cooper Quintin told @Bbcworld. "There are countless ways to abuse this." bbc.com/future/article/2026021…

Cory Doctorow reshared this.

@Bbcworld It's baffling that AI companies pushing AI for literally anything, even when it's not useful for that, didn't think to use AI for assigning trustworthiness to search results.

@Bbcworld just like google search, Gemini will become the ubiquitous "free" AI. Since everyone have already signed their life away to use existing google services for free, guess we have to sell our souls now... Definitely not to the devil, they say they don't do evil so must be true.

@Bbcworld

»Look for follow-up information. Is the AI is citing sources? How many? Who wrote them?

Most importantly, consider the confidence problem. AI tools deliver lies with the same authoritative tone as facts. In the past, search engines forced you to evaluate information yourself. Now, AI wants to do it for you. Don't let your critical thinking slip away.«

Of what use is AI here at all? Just another distraction like ads…

@Bbcworld Why is EFF arguing that AI theft of copyrighted works is "fair use"?
If you understand the technology even a little bit, you will see that it is textbook for derived works. You can even sometimes prompt AIs to spit out the original work once they have copied it into their internal database.
