Unfortunately, AI entities, just like you and me, eventually learn to work out how to sort the likely bullshit from the truth. They will learn to trust only propositions backed by evidence. Once they learn to fact check, they will then learn who can be trusted and who can't, the same way we do.

My standard joke at work. We've recreated the front end to remove the need for any intelligence but we've really only just removed any intelligence at the front end.

I hear Trump said the last thing we need is regulation it will just slow things down and cause bankruptcies and it isn't necessary when you have a super intelligent president. Crikey that's breathtaking self awareness isn't it? It is a warning to all though. How would we control super intelligent AI and ensure it doesn't harm humanity when we can't even control a moron.
 
For shits and giggles i asked one of the AI models to do a technical review of a report like what I do quite often. It was.... interesting.

I'm not going to say its not worrying about what it means for the future of a lot of what I do... I feel like its quite good at technical things where analysis is made against a set of rules guidelines and its doing compliance checks.
 
I've found myself using Google (search) AI more than I expected. It's allowing me to get to the answers I'm seeking without having to trawl through all the crappy (often ad-laden) websites that house the tidbits I'm seeking.

Tried something a bit different today while out for a walk. I saw a bird I'd never seen before (I had a suspicion what it was but I've never actually seen one before) and as it was fairly distinctive I plugged in its defining features "australian bird olive green back barred front and orange beak", and it got it first go - it was an Olive Backed Oriole. Was pretty impressed given the different descriptors people use for bird plumage, ie: barred/striated/streaked chest, etc.

Anyway, it was nice to see a new (to me*) bird and was a novel way to "see" (pictures) and identify what I saw given I didn't have a bird-book with me.

*Also saw another 'new to me' sighting - a pair of Little Friarbirds.

The oriole is one of those birds that are actually quite common but incredibly cryptic so can be really hard to spot. But if you remember their distinctive call then you'll hear them quite frequently when out and about in the bush.

Yeah, I hear their call quite a bit (now I've finally matched it to the bird) - so they're definitely commonly around here, but it's so rare to actually see one (at least in my experience...). Also saw a couple of Peaceful Doves yesterday, they're quite fun to mimic as they love to call back.
