Illusion or Deception, Artificial Intelligence

While sitting here typing on Google Search, I just realized the path that AI is taking. I was actually asking Google questions using the AI interface, and it gave me answers that made sense. And this is just the start of things with AI. It hasn't been that long since Google first introduced the AI search capability.

But there is a notice that says, "This is for informational purposes only. AI responses may include mistakes." And I wonder how long that notice will remain in place. How long will it be before the notice is removed and people start relying on Google and other media as the gospel on everything?

But it has already been proven that the media gets the story wrong, on purpose, a lot. So how long will it be before the media is disregarded entirely and AI replaces the "Fake News"? I can see it happening, and at the speed the internet travels it won't be long.

Imagine that, in the near future, there is a story in the media that is so controversial that people think, "Let's see what Google has to say about that." And when people go to search for it using AI, it is discovered that the story is actually fake news. People will stop listening to the news media and turn to AI for the truth.

Is AI this evil entity that wants to rule everything? I don't think so because we humans have to give AI the input it learns from. But look at Alexa. Doesn't it learn from the input it gets, and is that input from humans, or is it from something else? 

There are so many people, millions to be more specific, that have access to the internet, and those same millions of people input information. And this information can be accessed by Google (for one), where it is used to let AI learn. So AI is learning from the input we give it. And that input comes from an untold number of sources. Stuff like phones, speeches people make, websites, videos, etc. 

The compiling of this information is lightning fast, and here is where the supercomputers come into the picture. They give rapid answers to our questions, even the dumb stuff we all make up. You ask a question of any form of AI, especially search engines, and you get a really long answer in seconds. Well, that is if you have a fast internet connection.
