[@carpo719]

[@DizzyDJW]

Honestly, a large portion of the human population has ALWAYS lacked critical thinking, this is not new, it is simply much more easily noticeable since everyone has a smartphone in their pocket. So anyone can Google something and just spout the first thing they see that aligns with their cognitive bias, word for word. Back before the internet, people were still doing this same thing, but were instead racing each other to libraries or centers of information to look up something that aligns with their cognitive bias. What many people lack is critical thinking and this can most assuredly be attributed to education. By creating a universal education system online that prioritizes and teaches critical thinking skills, more people can learn to have a healthy amount of skepticism.

Ooh, I just got an interesting story idea! There's a rogue super AI whose sole purpose is to learn and communicate with another species. However, it's hyper efficient to the point that it floods all communication systems in an attempt to mimic and verify the model's accuracy (not considering time perception differences). This renders a civilization's technology useless because no piece of tech can actually understand what's being said. Ignoring stuff like faraday cages (or not?), it would be interesting to see how a society develops workarounds. Or maybe some stupid alien species did something very similar AND programmed the AI to replicate itself onto that civ's systems. Its sole goal is then to farm the species' creativity while limiting technological growth.

As a security researcher, Dark Forest of the Internet is the best way I've heard so far to describe the kinds of ubiquitous threats the average user faces online. I'm definitely going to borrow this for educational purposes and credit this video!

[@aceg81]

Right? The 'Dark Forest' analogy really hits the nail on the head, doesn't it? It perfectly captures that vibe of the unknown lurking around every corner on the internet. Using it for educational purposes sounds like a solid plan. It's a stark, visual way to highlight the importance of cybersecurity to people who might not realize the extent of the threats out there. Maybe it could help demystify some of the more complex aspects of what we're up against online. I'm curious, though, how do you plan on incorporating it?

For me the worse "articles" can't even call them there is just ones that report what someone said but gives no context of what, when or if what is being said is true or not, I wish news articles should at least give more context than just parrot what is being said to them without a thought, worse when they are quoting someone clearly lying even with video evidence in the same article showing what they are saying is completely false. In my country a book is being banned from middle schools because it has a sex scene, which I think is weird because many middle school books here have explicit sex scenes and one I read as a teen also had an explicit rape scene, and these books never received any "Think of the children!!" arguments to be removed before, to make things worse the politicians that are banning said they never read the book they just were informated that the book had pornographic content and wanted to ban it, and what the news articles are doing? Just quoting these politicians that never read and now many people believe is full porno and I always when people start talking about it I ask what passage they think was too strong for middle schoolers and they never know, they just say that most be true that it should be banned because many people are saying its bad... And this treatment go to anything is even for health, like many news sites spread fake news because they just quote a person and blast it in their front pages, like had people stopping their cancer treatment because they decided to quote a priest saying that the best remedy for cancer was tea.

Its not so much that AI "cant" copy these things, its more so that these sorts of things take a lot more time and effort to copy well, making it more expensive to bypass. Plenty of bots are capable of bypassing these captchas, but the goal is to make it as time consuming and expensive as possible to make it not as worth it for bot farms.

Back in the early teens I got a phone call from some jerk. First, the call was very statically, but, and more importantly, this jerk claimed he was my grandson. I told him he was not. He insisted. I again told him he was not my grandson. "Yes I am!" he said, claiming to be in jail in California. I told him he wasn't meowing so I know he wasn't my grandson. Because I never had children, I had, and have, cats. This was not unlike the time I got a call claiming he was from the IRS, that I owed money and if I didn't him RIGHT NOW the police were going to be at my door. Well, first I had to pull over because I was in my car, and second, I knew I didn't owe any money to the IRS. First I challenged him as to what my address was. Needless to say, he could not tell me. But he kept pushing, so I told him he'd have to talk to my accountant, who also happened to be my brother. And I hung up because I wanted to go home more than I wanted to give him a hard time. I'm 70 and I just don't understand how and why people fall for this crap.

It's going to get to a point where you can't even check the truth or context of the original post, because every new thing you read while trying to search for the base facts will also be shrouded in fake posts and articles. And those fake articles will be so similar to real articles that it will be next to impossible to know which is which, unless you watched whatever event you're researching firsthand and don't need to look anything up in the first place. It's more than just being smart enough to not trust everything you hear, it's going to become almost impossible to even research things online at all. Our legislature, ways of detecting AI, understanding of AI, plans for how to handle AI, etc. are all lagging behind the actual proliferation and creation of new AI technologies and are only going to fall further and further behind if we don't stop to address it right now. As a Software Engineer who has taken multiple classes on AI and AI ethics, AI is a terrifying thing in its current state, and not enough people are planning for how to handle its progression.

I think a lot of people fail to realise that AI doesn't have to be "smart" for it do be dangerous. Much like early computer viruses, a piece of code with a simple objective in an ecosystem not ready for it, much like introducing a predator, can be catastrophic. Add to this the genuine loss of tech literacy with generations who are growing up with tech "just working" and the ability to even understand how it's a threat at all diminishes. One of the most common issues I've had to assist students in troubleshooting, at a university level, is running every program under the sun all at one and a million chrome tabs, or not understanding that their device has a physical limit on storage. this results in complaints that our software is buggy or doesn't work for them, when in reality they fundamentally misunderstand the machines they use for most of their waking lives.

we also have these things and are very much trying to implement them to allow for data verification.

Plus: who says I want to explicitly point out my humanness online - or talk to other humans for that matter? I mean, 99 % of people who have used an LLM to bootstrap their learning endeavors can perfectly put into words why they prefer machines over the real deal. Even great teachers can be real pricks at times, dealing with an individualized chatbot tailored to your specific needs, one that won't make you feel ashamed for asking easy or silly questions... that alone is going to completely revolutionize very "RL"-type of tasks. The Internet already was just platforms allowing you to curate specific feeds, reddit is literally called the frontpage of the Internet, and face it, it's not like the big subs could get any worse with synthetic content. Which you can still moderate, catching vague shilling or anti- sentiments isn't actually rocket surgery at this point.
