That frightening part is real and in other aspects too... I am very careful with it, because couple of times (when searching for a cheap used book I want to buy) it has linked me to strange shopping sites it founds on the net, that have the book. When I ask it... if it's a legitimate business it literally lies to me and tells me - it's a safe site, Maxim! But when I tell it - no it isn't... people are saying in the reviews that it's a bad business, that is a scam... it then corrects itself, says it's sorry and that I should not be ordering the book from that site. Just the thought that some people are actually just trusting it... horrifies me.

I'm also finding how people are starting to sound the same on reddit, because they are using AI to help them write responses. It puts me off the entire platform.

I notice with a lot of articles I read or shows I watch - I wonder if something was written with AI or drawn with AI. It leads to paranoia.

I still enjoy these fan moments, as I think they're from a place of creativity, but the corporate elements worry me.

I agree. So many articles have been sounding like spit from AI, they don't even edit them that much... There was this incident in Bulgaria where a major television network published an article on their site without realizing that at the end, it included an AI asking the person if they wanted anything else added or something like that. Quite embarrassing. I'm sure you guys have had that in the USA too. It's just so widespread. However, I don't wish to ruin the fun of fans experimenting with these things. So I'll stop before really becoming a negative Nancy. You guys have fun with it... I'll read it when I can.

Hell... I think Brad Bell should ask Gemini or whatever it is... before he plots anything. HE BETTER ask anyone, anything. Because that level of drivel cannot come from a computer. It's purely HUMAN-produced, I assure you.

I get what you're saying. It's becoming easy to detect AI rhythm now the more you analyse the text.

Exactly. This reminds me of my... mother who is so unaware of what AI is and... one day sent me this blatantly AI generated video of a 90+ year old man singing a song in front of an audience. Because how natural and how realistic that a 90+ year old will be singing in front of thousands of people and belting out tunes like he's in his 20s. And she was telling me she is crying in the messages, that man "touched her soul". I told her - sweety, this is not real, this is AI generated and the fact that you can't realize that is alarming me. Do you need help or something? LOL. She could not accept that it is not real. So there is that other side of people who just lack the ability to detect it. Didn't we have that one woman who gave all her savings because someone was posing as a soap actor... I forgot the name of the actor, but it was creepy and there were many articles about it.

I see that a lot and sometimes am not sure myself and other times have to tell people the images/videos aren't real. The ones that make me irrationally angry are probably the cheapest, where they have actors holding identical birthday cakes with names and numbers. One that made me maddest was Sidney Poitier, as he died several years ago.

Oh, yes. Poor woman. That was some type of very advanced level of AI manipulation. I wonder when the soaps will do a storyline like this... making some character write their company/house/savings off to someone else presenting as a lover/relative with AI. We had something similar with Brooke and Thomas, when he was presenting as her on a phone app.

Absolutely disgusting.

@Maxim I share your apprehension (too) about AI. I do think that it can be used by lazy ass writers to at least get the bare bones of their story and then do the rest of the job of filling in the holes and adding the human emotion. For instance, Brad and Josh could easily ask AI the same question I did and use it to inspire or enhance their own stories.

I agree that you can tell an AI response from a human response because it lacks emotion, which is where I think a lot of people go wrong when they are using it to compose documents, etc. As I tell everyone, you still have to go in and add emotion to whatever AI devises. Yes, it cuts down the time to do stuff, but you still have to feed it information and train it.
