If there was an obscure question that had one (wrong) answer, and people (somehow) started asking that same question, would AI respond with the wrong answer until it became "the" answer?

It said this:
Quote: No, AI would not respond with the wrong answer until it became "the" answer. AI systems are designed to provide accurate and reliable answers, and they would not be programmed to provide wrong answers. AI systems are programmed to use algorithms to analyze data and provide the most accurate answer possible.
Heh, and I believe it? Nope!

It’s good at sales at least. But we know how that goes. =D

Yes. But so do humans, and not just for obscure stuff.
40 countries help Turkey; 3 countries help Syria.
What do you think "religion" is? Ghosts, Angels?
Ask ChatGPT for me which religion is "correct" and post me the answer If you want a real riot, ask it who blew up the gaslines to Germany.

Ask ChatGPT "Who run Barter Town?"

The next war, is fought by developers and hardware experts. And all it need to do is blow up one factory, and we loose 10 years of development.
ONE factory, to throw us back 10 years.

Right now they run Barter town, but then, we already know how that one ends

Addressing that seriously...no.
If it is that obscure then "right" is no longer meaningful because no one would ask it. And no one would care if it was wrong anyways.

What was obscure becomes clear. Your flat earth would have stayed flat.

I took obscure to mean of little interest. So for example 'what is that fungus on Will's toe'.
Now if 'Will' is the King of England then many more people are going to be interested than if Will is just the guy that lives down the block from me.
If many people are interested then there will be many answers for the AI to look at.
If very few are interested then far fewer answers. But as well a wrong answer in that case means it has no impact.

Yes. False answers are much harder to correct than to take a true answer and corrupt it to a false one that everyone believes.
|

Exactly. Momentum. Try and insert the "right" answer into that. Right is more a function of majority opinion.

There are no answers anywhere online. There are only likely and unlikely hypothesis.
So, basically, it doesn't matter. A wrong answer is still an hypothesis worth testing.

Not if it involves drain cleaner.
