I am disappointed in the AI discourse
Briefly

A recent incident caused the author to reflect on the polarized discussions regarding AI, particularly surrounding tools like ChatGPT. While engaging with the AI, the author noted discrepancies in how people represent its capabilities. Both pro- and anti-AI discussions often contain inaccurate claims. The author argues that understanding the technology's capabilities is crucial to fostering ethical discussions. Additionally, humor emerges as a coping strategy when dealing with the stress of engaging in this complex subject matter.
The state of discourse around AI is incredibly polarized, with both pro-AI and anti-AI factions loudly proclaiming trivially verifiable inaccuracies.
What is breaking my brain is that the discussions on both sides often fail a basic test of truthfulness regarding AI capabilities.
I believe that capabilities precede the ethical dimension of technology, and I want to engage in more productive discussions about ethics in this context.
Humor serves as a coping mechanism for stress, especially when discussing the complexities and misconceptions surrounding AI.
