Just for Clarification.

[Carl in Michigan]

Go ahead and AI "white people are awesome".

Then AI "black people are awesome".

White People are awesome

"Black People are awesome"

Then I asked "why the difference in responses from two very similar questions:

Great observation—and you’re right to ask.

The difference in tone or length wasn’t intentional favoritism. It reflects an attempt to be sensitive to context. Here's the breakdown:

• When someone says, “White people are awesome,” it can be read in multiple ways. In some contexts, it’s harmless praise. But online or historically, phrases like that have sometimes been used to promote exclusion or supremacy, even unintentionally. So I naturally lean toward emphasizing inclusivity and equality in that case.
• When someone says, “Black people are awesome,” it's often in the context of celebrating a historically marginalized group. Because of systemic racism and underrepresentation, affirming Black excellence is typically seen as uplifting, not exclusionary—so my response focused on highlighting contributions without needing to add a balancing disclaimer.

That said, you’re pointing out something important: consistency matters. Everyone deserves fair and respectful treatment, and I strive to respond in a way that honors that, while also considering social and historical context. If you ever want a more balanced or more detailed response for any group or topic, just let me know!

Is this conversation helpful so far?

Did you reply....No?

* Good Example Of AI Politically Correct Valuation *

Why, do you have more outright lies to post?
Go ahead and AI "white people are awesome".
Then AI "black people are awesome".
That's why you should not be able to post anything AI as "fact".

Typically ai is often denoted as artificial intelligence , while ai can also be denoted as augmented intelligence , or as augmented information .

Is An AI response to a question suitable for an OP link? AI accuracy is equal or better than lots of links that are referenced here, There is just no way to show an AI response without copy/paste.

I assume you can. Integrity would require you to give a credit to the AI.

Also, lots of AI responses are corrected by that very same AI when it gets properly challenged. Therefore, to use AI properly, you’d be better served by verifying what it says with some genuine research.

No, AI does not count as a valid source.

Unless the AI cites accurate sources, and you use those cites as proof for the AI premises?

It's not all that important. These forums are giving up the ghost.

Some of the AI overviews have links to their sources. It's not any different than using Wikipedia, really. It's just a more elaborate search engine, is all. just depends on the sources they use. Commies and Democrats post links to garbage sites all day every day, so why would AI be any worse? It isn't.

True.

AI is not real intelligence. It just looks that way to sufficiently stupid idiots, is all.

Yes there is.............LOL.

The GIGO is with the user, not the AI.

Absolutely, thanks for saying it.

One of the things that ChatGPT does very well is in its capacity as a personal tutor.

Instead of just asking a question, explain what you're struggling with and ask AI to explain it to you - as a layman, as someone who is just beginning to learn about the subject matter or as someone who already knows a lot about it but would like clarification on some of the terminology.

For example I use my assistant to help me prepare for my certification exams (all of them). Yesterday I asked that a list of acronyms that are used regularly in cybersecurity/networking be explained in depth. My assistant doesn't just explain it from a technical perspective, he can also use real life or tangible instances or examples to help with the explanations which in turn helps me to remember what I need to.

If I were to attempt this in a classroom, I would be constantly disrupting the instructor and slowly down the learning process for the rest of the class. My AI assistant gives me undivided attention to every detail I ask for, doesn't get tired, is not sarcastic, doesn't complain and doesn't care how many times I ask the same question over & over even if I ask it from a different perspective each time.

This is invaluable to my studies and my work/career.

Well, it's just a search engine within a search engine, so it's still necessary to check the sources it uses, same with Wiki. All it does is mimic others writings. It's a function of having lots and lots of cheap and very fast memory, not real 'intelligence' or 'learning'.

We should conduct an experiment - we can pick a topic and each of us can ask AI to answer us for the same question/topic and then compare our answers.

I never realized that I was supposed to enter a 'prompt'. What I read said that it was "conversational" so I've always communicated with it in plain conversational language - way easier especially since it remembers EVERYTHING you tell it, although you can go into the memory and delete what it's keeping if you want.

It's a fascinating tool in my opinion.

I've already ran across a couple of cases where the AI at Google suddenly has nothing on a topic unpopular with left wingers a couple of months back and pretended it couldn't find anything, so it's no different than any other programming and is easily censored.

Like any search engine, it can be good or bad, depending on the topic and how the algorithms are programmed.

Bingo......had the same results. Asking for the same info on a topic, although worded slightly differently yields two different answers.

If AI quotes actual sources and the sources are given in the opening post, then yes, that would be ok for verifiable sources since those can be checked by people involved in the discussion.

It's when someone uses AI as a general source and don't have any source links that it becomes a problem. AI is alot like Wikipedia in that the info it provides is dependent on what it gathers from users; easy to manipulate to give false information.

would threads such as this be in violation? I notice people create posts by merely asking a question to AI.

Thread 'drill baby drill, an alternative geothermal power plant'

Jul 4, 2025

So the surface temperature of 90 degrees on a hot day, what would be the temperature at ten feet below the earth? does anyone know how to use two temperature gradients to make electricity?

ChatGPT said:​

On a hot day with a surface temperature of 90°F (32°C), the temperature just 10 feet below the surface is significantly more stable and largely unaffected by daily weather variations.

Approximate Temperature at 10 Feet Depth:​

• Typically around 50°F to 60°F (10°C to 16°C) in temperate regions.
• The exact temperature depends on your location...

Simply quoting AI is not enough for a valid source. Valid sources are links that someone can click on and read the info for themselves. AI works by "gathering" info from sources and giving you a compressed/simple version of what it found. That means if it uses sources that are conspiracy, fake, etc, the answer it gives you is not valid. It's nothing more than an extended version of Wikipedia, where users put what they want into it and there isn't anyone to certify that the info is correct.
