Tech Friday: Distrust Artificial Intellegence #AI as we do social media … or for that matter the mainstream media #MSM
Posted By RichC on November 22, 2024
This past week, while digging up answers for tax planning for a Barron’s Advisor group that I participate in, I searched for the standard 2024 deduction changes based on age, etc. At the top of my Brave Browser search (their Leo AI engine), which I’ve found helpful several times, pop the summary below:
This recent search started me questioning a mathematical error (above) and sent me digging a little deeper in to the IRS publications to clear up the discrepancy. Yup, the AI is pulling data from different sources and didn’t bother to even check the obvious math (add this to the Brave Community Support pages too).
Artificial Intelligence may not be purposefully misleading as we often see in social media, the mainstream media (journalism) or even the more overtly biased opinion media, but it is not to be trusted without some personal triple checking.
