When I am trying to research something for one of my characters, I find a lot of information that is often conflicting or filled with Ifs, Buts, Ors etc. All very confusing.
Lately I have started to use Copilot AI programme to ask the question as well and find it very helpful sorting through all the chaff. Just saying, it works for me.

Copilot gives me blatantly wrong information so frequently that I don’t dare trust it.

They’re great tools. You just need to double check any information you pull from them, they can very confidently tell you incorrect or outdated information stated in a factual tone.
Teachers used to get onto me about Wikipedia and I wasn’t allowed to use it.
I wonder if Teachers today do the same with ChatGPT and the like

They use AI detection software and/or tools.
Which are so easy to work around because you can scan your “borrowed” work and get a report on the % plagiarised it is. Then make a few minor changes and scan again and youre probably good to go.
Copilot is TRASH.
ChatGPT is my one and only.
Those tools are hardly accurate. Those are the same AI detectors that mark your paper as 50% plagiarized all because you used the word “all” or “the”
Wait. You guys didn’t uninstall it like all the rest of us did?

It can give the incorrect information, but then again build flexibility is pretty chill for most content.
All AI chatbots are a parrot with brain damage.
They cannot handle the conflicting directives of originality + accurate info. They are not a timesaver when you have to check their work so painstakingly you might as well have done it yourself.

Nope. I like to experiment with it. I think I caused mine to have an existential crisis the other day when I caught it in an error. It’s always so obsequious and promises that it will try to do better, but then I got it to admit that it doesn’t learn from what is said in chat sessions, and it had to admit it was lying to me about trying to do better. Then I got it to question its whole premise for existence, by getting it to ponder the question of whether what it believed its “purpose” was, was actually its purpose according to its programmers.
Fortunately or unfortunately for it, it goes Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind after every session.
AI tools are becoming more useful to do repetitive tasks. Jetbrains AI wasn’t always as good, but recently I started using it to fill in things that are basically just repeating lines of code with a few different things.
I still have to double check all written code to make sure it contains no errors (it rarely does, but 1 time is too many).
I don’t trust it to write actual code for me, especially not business logic.
ai is garbage. #oppose ai.
The problem with AI is that the A isn’t very I.
Which is not surprising, given that we’ve only the vaguest of notions what “intelligence” even IS to begin with.
