They’re interjecting themselves between us and our contacts. They’ll have the power to “summarize”, which is also the power to subtly re-interpret meaning. The AI will be given a broad goal, and it will chip away at that goal bit by bit, across millions of summaries to mold public opinion.
I get it, big stupid money hungry tech wants to put itself between you and every other person on earth for the almighty dollar.
How about we use tech to fix problems not create new ones!?
To be fair, my father tends to make messages quite incomprehensible by adding irrelevant information all over the place. Sometimes going on for multiple screens while it could easily have been a 2-3 sentence message.
Sadly I think AI would even be worse at picking up what information is important from that. But I understand why people want it.
As for very active groupchats, I am not gonna read +25 messages a day, but being able to glance the gist of it would be awesome.
The exact point at which the gist of it can be manipulated, leaving out context and nudging you toward a different opinion than you might have formed if you’d read the whole thread.
Friend, I think you need to reconsider your world perspective a bit. Not everyone is out to get you all the time.
To be fair, when Facebook was still big the privacy advocates were being branded as paranoid. Those turned out to be right after all.
Ahh, intellect of the average American on display. So… -óóóh, is that a Donut?
Why are you making fun of topological toroidal surfaces mr smarty pants
👍
I have one specifically that is mostly bursts of 2 or 3 hours of chat between whoever is online in the group and with some worthwhile coordination messages mixed in at random. I don’t want to read 80 messages about mortgage rates and VTI stocks to find a couple of lines I’m actually interested in about kid plans for the evening or something I’d actually care to talk about.
It does make sense in big groups with tons of irrelevant discussion but also few messages you actually need to read.
CEOs are SO INTELLIGENT! I would NEVER have Thought to invest BILLIONS OF DOLLARS on Chatbots and Summarizers which ALREADY existed!
Trying not to be too douchey here, but ironically, your message is actually a very good example of where this technology could be beneficial.
IT is ACTUALLY not EASY to read a MESSAGE when THE CASE randomly SWITCHES back AND forth.
It’s not difficult lol. It’s not particularly pleasant, sure, but perfectly comprehendable
im going to ask chatgpt to give you a swirlie
:)
I don’t use WhatsApp, but this immediately made me think of my dad who doesn’t use any punctuation and frequently skips and misspells words. His messages are often very difficult to interpret, through no fault of his own (dyslexia).
Having an LLM do this for me would help both him and me.
He won’t feel self conscious when I send a, “What you talkin’ about Willis?” message, and I won’t have to waste a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out what he was trying to say.
What makes you think the llm will be able to decipher something that already doesn’t make sense
“Caden, it looks like Airlynn just said you’re a hopeless loser, and she’s been banging your personal trainer Chad. Is there anything else I can help you with?”
Tinder needs this function right now!
