Trace of Artificial Intelligence Makes "Surprise" Appearance in Must Read Alaska Blog
Must Read Alaska tells its readership that they write news you can trust, but given a curious find today by Alaska resident Will Muldoon, questions might be raised about the accuracy of the right-wing blog's..."reporting."
Muldoon posted a screenshot to social media appearing to show that a link in a Must Read Alaska blog post that should have directed visitors to the website of Eaglexit, actually directed readers to the ChatGPT website.
ChatGPT is described as being a friendly virtual buddy who's great at conversing and providing information. It's an advanced language model developed by OpenAI and is designed to understand and generate human-like text based on the prompts it receives. As an artificial intelligence (AI) companion, it can help answer questions, create content, offer explanations, and engage in conversations on a wide range of topics.
After seeing Muldoon's screenshot, I became super curious and scampered off to verify whether the link did indeed direct readers to the OpenAi website. I stored the findings of my non-existent network of out-of-state deepstate bloggers in a recording you can watch below.
Spoiler alert - the link did indeed direct readers to the OpenAi website.
Is artificial intelligence a reliable source of information? Well, many experts don't believe that it is.
Case and point...earlier this year, a federal judge imposed $5,000 fines on two lawyers who had used artificial intelligence to create a court filing. ChatGPT invented court cases that didn't exist and tricked the lawyers into believing that they were real — leaving the judge presiding over the case in a most disagreeable mood.
Over the years, Must Read Alaska has written three posts about ChatGPT, warning readers in one such post that it could be used to begin conversations in groups like Save Anchorage to influence its members.
"A chatbot can now go into a Facebook group, (think Juneau Community Collective, Bethel, Spenard, or Save Anchorage) and create dozens of online personas. Then the chatbot could start conversations, and persuade people to behave in a certain way or believe something is going to happen" the blog wrote in 2022.
It's not clear how the link came to find itself nestled in the bosom of Must Read Alaska's blog post about Eaglexit. It's also unknown if the blog's readers will still view the website as being capable of providing them with news they can trust or whether they will simply gloss over today's interesting revelations and blame woke leftists for using gotcha science to create AI in the first place.
Also unclear is whether Must Read Alaska used any of the money they received from their PPP Loan to invest in ChatGPT. -Just kidding. 😗
Oh, and just for kicks, I signed up for a ChatGPT account today and asked the woke AI to write a poem about a hypothetical right-wing blog that used artificial intelligence on its website. It can be read below.
In the realm where thoughts find voice to soar, A right-wing blog emerged to explore, With fervent words and ideas bold, Through the digital realm, their stories told.
In this virtual world, they found their stage, A platform vast, a boundless page, With ChatGPT, their tool in hand, They spun their tales across the land.
ChatGPT, a partner true, In weaving narratives, old and new, With conservative ideals to share, They crafted posts with utmost care.
They tapped into its vast array, Of knowledge deep, night and day, To bolster arguments, strong and clear, And to dispel doubts, quelling fear.
Each keystroke typed, a viewpoint shared, With every sentence, a stance declared, Through ChatGPT's responsive grace, They built a space, a thought-provoking place.
ChatGPT which Must Read Alaska totally doesn't use
