From Alec Cawley, Penwood, Hampshire, UK
I am afraid Barry Cash is being overly optimistic in expecting AI to have cold, Spock-like logic. The large language models currently making waves as chatbots are trained on a vast amount of human writing. All they add is a perfect memory. Otherwise, what they present is an average of our thoughts and prejudices. And, like a blowhard in the pub, if they don’t know the answer, they make up something plausible.
