As for the wedding band: is AI anti-American, or at least globalist? In many cultures across the world--save the US and our neighbors to the north--wedding bands are worn on the right hand.
Interesting point! I'd think it would depend on the training set used to "teach" the model about what things look like, and how carefully the images were tagged according to their place of origin. If you just fed one of these things a heap of pictures from all over the world, evenly distributed by geography but without differentiation, then I guess it might tend to default to the average on questions like wedding tradition, ending you up with a kind of bland, placeless stew. But if you trained it to recognize local differences, and to respond to prompts requesting particular nations/locales (or better yet to detect where the user is and default toward his or her setting) it could be more accurate. One thing this reveals is that AI's "preferences" are determined by what its *creators* think of as important details and what they discount.
Yes. In using AI (Bing, ChatGPT), I find myself "arguing" with the creators, those anon Menlo Park millennial coders. I'm sure my gentle suggestions (or outright screeds) do little to "teach" the chatbot anything. And come to think of it, my keyboard rants with/at them also seem to raise my blood pressure. So I guess I'm really losing, huh? lol
It's creepy how far technology has progressed. And it's also a bit creepy how prophetic Lewis appears to be - especially in That Hideous Strength.
