Reply to Could ChatGPT supercharge false narratives? by Wagamaga

it will do whatever its programmers tell it to do, based on the data and models it is supplied with.

Whatever it returns will be based on whatever source data its been fed, and the accuracy thereof. Which leaves it open to bias of any sort, of spreading misinformation, etc, if that has been included in its source feed, whether deliberately or unwittingly.

However, if there is an effort to sanitise all of those data feeds, there is also a risk of introducing bias from that sanitisation process based on the chosen sources

Reply to Could ChatGPT supercharge false narratives? by Wagamaga

ChatGPT is already able to convince people on having the right information. It is trained to find statistical correlations in language, not truths. For now it gets information from non-AI inspired sources, but who actually knows what these sources are. The more often certain information gets repeated, the more likely it is to end up as a source of training data. When more and more articles in the near future get written by an AI (not necessarily the same) the validity of the constructed narrative will start to spiral downwards at an alarming rate as the "source" simply gets reinforced by its own wackyness.

If you call into the retail store for your area/state they should be able to tell you.if you Google Windstream retail store for your state you may be able to skip the 1800 number and go straight to them. If not the 1800 number is your best bet but I'm not a big fan of the 1-800 number. I think the retail stores provide better customer service. Feel free to DM me if you need help. It may take me a little while to respond since I'm working at the moment. I'll ask my boss if I can't answer your questions.

AEN-K0NG-S3X1 is my referral code for ws. You may be able to get a deal or promotion if you mention the code. I do commission from the code. The fiber builds are supposed to go on for the next 10 years I believe. So don't give up hope if it isn't there yet.

And no i didn't pick the sexy Kong referral code lol. WS randomly generated it. I like to think our programmers have a sense of humor lmao

Frontier ran a service loop of fiber on the distribution pole in my back yard. I called Frontier and they say they are not installing fiber yet. It had been almost a year. Next thing I know time-comca-trum let's me know they see bad signal from my modem and need to fix it. I ask the guy what's going on. He says they are gearing up for synchronous speeds. Funny that was not an issue before the possible competition.
