Air India plane crash

Anyone read these? It would appear some people would rather start with the premise that the pilot couldn’t have done it, and then work backwards from there to find what fits.


Part 1



Part 2


 
Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not.
Why be right, when you can be first.
 
So AI is like Wikipedia? It just sources articles of whatever anyone is saying and shows that as gospel?

IDK … it’s a joke now, until it isn’t.

I know pastors/ministers who use AI to write their Sunday sermons, college students who use it to write research papers.

While not known to me personally, I’m aware of authors and poets and musicians who gladly use AI for what they claim is their creative work.

My muse and I are both saddened and angered that the creative process means so little to many/some of those thusly engaged. If one doesn’t have the wherewithal to write, compose, think, originally … using their heart, soul, and brain … what is the point of seeking to influence, to challenge, to create?

We have developed something we never needed just because we could and in so doing reduced our own unique value and somehow called it ā€œgood.ā€

And we’ll never reclaim the full value of who we once were and the beauty which flowed from that reality, once upon a time.

Google's AI seem to be especially janky. I've caught it regurgitating Reddit posts made by god knows who as the gospel truth.
Oh, it’s been found that YouTube AI-ā€œenhancesā€ users uploads without their permission. There’s no way that could go wrong and cause an incident.
 
The crazy part is AI is on perceived as an expert. When in reality it is mostly just garbage in garbage out.
Look if you don’t know Wikipedia isn’t a good source for information then I can’t help you. Now it just has a conversation with you while giving you questionable information. The content hasn’t gotten any better.
 
This is the same Google AI that suggested people put glue on pizza and eat rocks:

What’s hilarious about the rock answer, that was an onion article šŸ˜‚

I thought about this for a moment and pondered how much dirt I ingested as a youth. I'm not going to start eating rocks but maybe there is some valid point somewhere in the fog. When I was a kid we were almost feral and nobody had ever heard of a peanut allergy, some kids were allergic to certain things like shellfish but that wouldn't show up in school. I think people my age were so disgusted by their own filthy upbringing that when they had kids they kept them so clean that their immune system never had a chance to mature. And now millions of people have never ridden Southwest and been handed peanuts as a snack (I liked their beer nuts). I still love a PB and J and a tall glass of milk. I'm not going to start eating rocks, I've been eating dirt for over 5 decades.

The nice thing about Wikipedia is that it has sources so you can actually read what it is basing is opinions on. AI doesn't usually cite what it says.

I don't think wiki is the culprit here. Places that I refuse to go, that rhyme with reddit and 4chan are probably more likely the source of all this horrible gouge. Not that wiki is always right, but I'd place it a few notches higher on the reliability scale than those cesspools that it appears AI is actively mining as its primary source(s).
