Can/Is AI Used To Post Threads on Audigon?


I don’t understand AI, but I have noticed an uptick in orphan threads from first time posters.  Some seem a bit out of place.  It is as if someone is testing the waters to see if AI can pass as a human forum member.  I’ll accept that such a suspicion might be off the mark.

Why not? I’ve read that bots can sign up to internet accounts, and from there, if you’ve ever played with the freely available "AI," you can ask it to write a contract, for example. And it will do that. A little prosaic, maybe lacking some nuance, but it will be natural language and look ok.

I find the area fascinating. I don’t regard these things as "intelligence" even if they pass a Turing Test. They are simply regurgitating an amalgam of what has been loaded into them. One person told me that they don’t even seek clearance from content owners, they scrape. So that ingestion stage, unless there are safeguards, means they have access to a whole variety of material.

This raises a lot of interesting legal and policy issues. I’m trying to get a better understanding of it, even though I can’t write code worth poop and am really an old analog guy.

If I were to speculate, they have to have data crunchers to sift through the massive amounts of data collected. That’s simply another side of the same coin in some ways.

This is gonna be a fast moving field, and maybe like "meh, the Internet is a fad," it won’t catch on, but realistically, I think basic machine interactions should be a given at this point. A friend told me in China, they plug their health ID into an authorized receptacle, and the doctor can see all your records from any source.

Meanwhile, our medical system uses fax for security/HiPAA. Telex, anybody? :)
