    Wouldn’t senators have access to actual experts who, unlike ChatGPT, would be correct close to 100% of the time?

      All the “experts in Medicare/ Medicaid” in DC are payed shills of the health insurance industry recommending they both be dissolved or privatized.

      Honestly chatgpt might be better as it does have a tendency to “both sides” political topics. Of course you can inject your own biases in the question and chatgpt will usually agree with you, but it’ll at least sometimes give you pushback which an insurance lobbyist will never do.

        In this particular case, I can’t imagine they’d tell him that with any frequency that might at all be considered “often.”

        EDIT: to be clear by “they” I meant experts, not AI.

      Every senator and their staff are constantly orbited by lobbyist “experts” offering to write new laws for them. Actual experts are working at institutions, and are not taking senators to expensive dinners by helicopter and limousine.

        There used to be whole ass boards appointments for this, like usa had the Office of Technology Assessment working for Congress, where they paid various experts from various fields to come in and review stuff and give advice.

        It’s a mix, but yes. The oil companies are very interested in making sure the “experts” are theirs.

        ChatGPT might be better, depending on how often he “corrects” it.

        Also a future issue of how much influence these companies have. I hear NYT is already targeting ads at AI.

      Senators are also inundated with biased sources, I imagine tuberville has been in an echo chamber for his entire life. A basic AI response might actually be more nuanced and honest.

    Can someone tell this dipshit that he can use his phone to call actual experts and talk with them?

    Jesus fuck we are governed by the stupidest motherfuckers available in a given tristate area.

      Experts talk back when you say stupid things at them. Chatbots just praise you for it.

    The dumbest people alive are running everything and have unlimited access to a narcissism powered bullshit machine.

    This is what terrifies me, not whether AI will get to the point where it will be reliable, but that people won’t know. People are idiots with no critical thinking skills, and every day they become more idiotic.

    Just because ChatGPT sounds confident, it doesn’t mean it is right.

    Great, so if it says something he doesn’t agree with he can just give it a weak amount of pushback and it’ll completely flip over to agreeing with him.

    “Experts predict that a Medicare for All policy would actually lower healthcare costs and improve outcomes for a majority of people.”

    “What? That can’t be right! Sounds like woke bullshit!”

    “You’re absolutely right!”

      They can talk to AI but not their friends or actual experts. There are only a few reasonable explanations for this…
