It isn’t racist enough, so he has to take over and train it on nazi propaganda.

and sadly, the amount of people who use chatgpt to try and get factual information, is quite high... which makes this even more terrifying. It's about systematically gaining control of communication and information.

I've had people on Reddit and Lemmy dispute my comments by citing ChatGPT... AI is a really innovative wrench that people are using as a hammer.

I also blame the AI companies for pushing that usage. It doesn't matter how many tiny disclaimers Google and Microsoft add when they return AI answers to queries by default.

There's tons of alternatives out there now that are as good or better.

If he gets it then clearly it will be the Confederate States ChatGPT.

Do you mean LLM's or other means to get factual info?

It seems to me that LLM's are not a very good way to get factual information due to limitations of the technology (models try to write as plausible text as possible, not as factually correct as possible) Yet using search engines is a pain due to how many ChatGPT-generated SEO optimized websites are there, which are written not by experts in their fields, but random copywriters. I really have no idea where to get truth about anything at this point.

Are they as popular, or the default use. How many "alternatives" are actually just piping through chatgpt.

Controlling information means getting control of the defaults, the ones people are used to using.
