• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Man, I love AI, when it is used for wholesome stuff. Here is an example of Mistral 7B (a free, open-weights AI run privately and locally on my laptop, though it burns through my battery, as artificial intelligence is electricity intensive) writing a fictional news article. Not sure if this belongs in the Tech forum, or the Writer's Guild section.

Prompt: Write a fictional news article from the Idaho Gazette about how a kid with autism got free year-long supply of Red Robin because of a nice deed he did for the restaurant's employee. Be sure to display the author's full name, and publishing date for the article, set in the year 2026.

Actually scary. But it's funny that it could creatively generate names like Samantha and Ethan, but when it got to the Regional Manager, it named him John Doe. Nothing worse than lazy AI.

Haha, yeah, the AI was very lazy there. But yes, this is scary as heck. What if the AC (Antichrist) uses AI in a bad way to spread propaganda?

Even NPR made an article about the dangers of AI news:

In the first half of 2023, AI was already a worrisome threat in news:

Just a question, what type of data does Minstral base it's output on?

Mistral bases it data off of information scoured from the internet, and is vetted and filtered somehow. Most AI companies do not publish where their information is from.

I'm far more concerned about corruption in the main stream media and how beholden their editor's are to the billionaire's that own large stakes in many of the top news places. Than I am with how some teen might write false news stories.

Same here. I am nervous about greedy news corporations over AI as well. That is why I try to look at both sides, especially the moderate points of view. Also, welcome to the forum brother.

Ahem, CNN, Faux, etc... All owned by the super rich, and skewed to one side or the other.
