Excuse Me, Your AI Chatbot Validates Garbage Input

Oh how I do love the English language for how simply malevolent it is to grasp, let alone master in a lifetime — if you think your AI Chatbot is ready, ahem, alright alright alright…

Lego Bricks versus Ankor Wat

The English Language is monumentally difficult among the most widespread ones spoken. With so many sources crammed into a short timeline — compared to Chinese or Arabic for instance — the rules are never really agreed upon even by professionals. Doubt me? Oxford Comma.

AI is ridiculously infantile, extremely limited, and potentially dangerous to public users in my opinion as of December 2023. One of my latest examples? An AI application / platform for US Students (grades 6–12 I believe) to engage in emotional counseling and development. Yes. A computer program to help with emotional growth.

That is very, very wrong. The advocate in the piece — broadcast by KRLD 1080 a first-class News and Radio Enterprise — tried to assuage fears with a simple explanation. Her explanation?

Well, some youth these days are more comfortable interacting with an application and AI than a human…

Does this person also suggest throwing drowning people a bowling ball? The sense of “giving up” is really strong with me here. Education and growth aren’t about making things so easy they just magically appear in the head of the next…
