We talked about it a few days ago a study that determines the unreliability of artificial intelligence, more specifically from ChatGPT, when programming. According to the study I referenced in the news, more than half of the answers given by the OpenAI chatbot are wrong, which is already a problem, but this is further complicated by the security with which ChatGPT exposes your answers. In other words, it projects so much security that it is more difficult to question their reliability, data obtained from the same study.

Artificial intelligence is on the rise, and this is a debate that has been going on for some time. threats to certain types of jobs. At first it was about those related to repetitive tasks, but the advent of generative models has caused this fear to spread to some creative professional activities. What’s more, we’ve already seen cases of companies turning to AI for tasks that were previously performed by humans.

This however raises a number of problemsand the most immediate and direct one is related to exactly what I mentioned earlier in the ChatGPT and programming study thread, that is, the limited reliability of the answers, and the risk of giving them as final, that is, that they are ready to be used in any way. In this regard, we already told you a few months ago what trouble an American law firm got into by trusting ChatGPT’s answer, in which the chatbot invented case law.

Well, this time we find ourselves with another AI overconfidence. And as we can read in the Register, Microsoft published an AI-generated text guide to places to visit in Ottawa, Canada, which included the city’s food bank.. This is the text of the review that can be found in the said publication, which was apparently aimed at tourists who were planning to visit the Canadian city:

«The organization has been collecting, purchasing, producing and delivering food to individuals and families in need in the Ottawa area since 1984. We look at how hunger affects men, women and children every day and how it can be a barrier to success. . People who come to us have jobs and families to support as well as expenses to pay. Life is hard enough already. Consider doing it on an empty stomach.»

It is true that tourism low cost It has made it considerably easier to visit places that would otherwise be absolutely inaccessible to many, but I doubt that these tourists are enough to compete in terms of precariousness with the really needy people in the city.

Apparently Microsoft has already pulled the article and I believe they will start watching what they post after this incident. And it’s like we’ve been saying for a long time, Artificial intelligence is great, but it’s not perfect. If you’re interested in a list of referrals, you can find it here (the food bank is third on the list).
