My question about asking the AI was a little TIC. the only thing I have ever asked Grok for was a picture I uses on another thread here. Worked out quite well, but then it wasn't an onerous task.
Don't get me started on "influencers", which should be influenzas imo. Awful, and highly contagious. Which brings me back to the dark side of AI. As I said elsewhere, I have come across really quite convincing vids, "starring" usually attractive 30 something women ( I use the term inadvisably ) who dress like clinicians, and speak with a certain flirty gravity, and are described as doctors, or in this case more particularly urologists, telling me that a health regime of onanism is good for my prostate. Well, I was asking due to the effects of strong hormone blockers (They don't just block the offending hormones, they block them all) on my usually reliable waterworks. I also did not ask YT directly, but I did use their master's search engine, so of course it trickled down.
I make no comment on the sagacity of the advice, as my GP kinda agrees, but I do worry that people will fall into the trap of "self diagnosis" on the basis that they don't believe it is self diagnosis when a pretty, or handsome, or purple haired, depending on the demographic, doctor gives it. I only really spotted it when one pretty construct was replaced with another, on a different vid. Once you see it it's obvious, but that probably won't always be the case, and it requires thinking, which most youtube consumers are being trained not to do. They both, with different voices, mouthed the same script, they had captions that wouldn't go away, and they NEVER looked directly at what would have been the camera in a natural setting. I could imagine some folks drinking the Kool Aid, if they were told to by these things.
Navigating the complex health system I find myself in lately is bad enough, without having the software that claimed that George Washington was black, or that parrots the narrative of the individuals that coded it, muddying the waters. Now, I'm smart enough to know that the internet is not always right, but not everyone else is.
Anyone with a computer and an internet connection can make these vids, and YT will publish them. Caveat Emptor.
