    That’s true, but I think people still appreciate it… like it’s accurate enough, enough of the time, for people to find it helpful.

      That’s why it’s dangerous. If it were wrong 99% of the time people wouldn’t trust it. But being right most of the time risks people depending on it and acting on bad information which can have severe consequences.

            Nonsense. Your metaphor is not analogous.

            Sophisticated tech firms do extensive analysis with reference groups, A/B testing, et cetera.

            Guaranteed, they’ve found that they get better engagement with their product through these AI results.

            This might shock you but a group of 14 year olds complaining on Lemmy is not an indicative sample of opinions.
