Right now if you search for “country in Africa that starts with the letter K”:
-
DuckDuckGo will link to an alphabetical list of countries in Africa which includes Kenya.
-
Google, as the first hit, links to a ChatGPT transcript where it claims that there are none, and summarizes to say the same.
This is because ChatGPT at some point ingested this popular joke:
“There are no countries in Africa that start with K.” “What about Kenya?” “Kenya suck deez nuts?”
We as a society are so stupid that our collective dumbness has crippled AI. Its development has ground to a halt because machines cannot process the base level of stupidity that we all live in every day.
They wanted to copy our brains by studying us, but they can’t because the vast majority of people don’t use their brains in any meaningful way.
We thought we would make AI as smart as us. Alas, we instead made AI as dumb as us.
The problem is just that ChatGPT is only a language model. If you have actual strong AI that actually analyzes things, it can generate answers.
