I see so much misinformation around AI on Linkedin. Blanket statements like “a human can solve a problem in 5 minutes; AI can solve 10 in one minute” are so disingenuous that I don’t know if it’s malice at play or just simplicity. 🤷‍♀️ is the algorithm just messing with me?

Even though I say it all the time, I honestly think it is all three.

Whether original malicious misinformation, or the stupid parroting of misinformation, or the algorithms tuned to increase or decrease the circulation of misinformation based on the owners‘ goals, all of these work against good information hygiene, which in turn makes us all feel dirty.

I reject the role of button mashing hot-head which many organizations wish to cast their customers; who wants to be an emotional vending machine, right?

@bkryer I think it’s wishful thinking. Like Mulder, they want to believe.
