I'm not worried about AI biases as i dont use AI for web-searches.. I mostly use AI for coding, calculations, project-theory's, and compile/summarize a lot of data and similar.
I would never use an AI to ask about things in the everyday world, as the AI training-data is 70% peoples opinions they have written online and 20% facts and 10% hallucination if the question was newer then the training-data it has.
This is why a lot of AI's saying it never have been an assassination attempt on Trump. as it happen after the training-data.
So when asking questions its always good to start asking the AI, what date are your last trainings data built on..
That way if you have a question that is newer, always tell it to search online as it is an event after the training data and tell it to say "i dont know the answer" instead of making something up.

So i am not worried about biases.. but people should be really critical and always verify what the AI is saying before making a decision or have an opinion that is based from an answer from an AI.
AI is a really good tool, as long you remembering its just a tool.. nothing more, nothing less.

I heard Google is going to implement AI in google search, so when they do it, you wont get the results you have today, but AI will summarize the webpage and give its "opinion".. i see this as a danger as you wont get a neutral search and AI hallucination can make a different on the search result.
I dont remember in writing moment where i read/heard this.. but i can look it up later tonight if you want a source instead of make a google search on it.

You nailed it. AI is a tool. Like any tool its only really useful if you know how to use it.

Sadly, this is a tool that will bring a lot of problems, especially for illiterate people.
The cases where students are cheating to get in college using AI are skyrocketting in a worrisome manner...
Soon people will not think, if it's not through their favorite oracle.

That is a big problem.

Students can cheat on homework, but they can't cheat on monitored tests that determine what they actually know.

Right now I'm typing this via Linux and the browser certainly provides an option for AI. I don't use it. I do like FireFox because I'm familiar with it and have used it for over two decades. It is not a mere rumor that GOOGLE will be implementing AI in their GOOGLE search. Level 1 Techs is a fairly reliable source of information. You can find them on YouTube but they do have their own web site.

It is amusing how this thread has evolved from a One Drive issue and morphed into other things and back to One Drive only to find itself gazing into the AI abyss. AI will be interesting when the majority of its information will be gleaned from sources produced by AI. I wonder at what point human contribution to information will also become obsolete as AI continues to regurgitate information generated by AI. Already so many suffer from "AI psychosis" because they don't know how to think for themselves. It would seem "Just ask AI" is a classic response now to anyone who wants to know anything.

Perhaps the saving grace of humanity will be in trades and blue collar jobs. Time will tell.

Has Vivaldi built their own search engine, and if not, whose do they use?

the recommended search engine to use in Vivaldi is duckduckgo
you can disable all AI in duckduckgo via the search settings.

best of luck Steve ..

Not a problem there, Gary. Teachers already let AI correct the tests that are completed by students who resort to AI for the answers. Perhaps one day AI will simply eliminate the middle man.

We use AI so much at work, mostly Claude, that Claude is going to get a performance review at the end of the year.

Where do you get validated information that students are allowed to use AI while taking tests?
Where do you get validated information that teachers use AI to correct those tests?
This sounds just a bit fabricated to me. :wink:

Who says it's allowed? It just happens. In fact, it was such an issue a couple of years ago that administration here in town had to crack down on teachers that let AI correct tests and assignments. At my daughter's grade 12 graduation 6 of the students openly gave AI the credit for passing. They publicly announced it. One even went so far as to state, "Give AI my diploma". If it happens in some little backwater town in Nomansland, Canada, surely it's happening elsewhere. I'll leave the fabrication to AI. I know what I saw and experienced first hand.

Ouch! Those kids graduated with essentially no education.

My daughters know better. I already went head-to-head with my now 19 year old when she was 16 explaining to her that if she let anyone, human or otherwise, do her thinking for her that she would fail university. She's going into her second year this summer and she's definitely thinking for herself. Some of her friends aren't doing so good. She sees it now. I did concede with her that AI can be a useful tool and she conceded that AI can be abused and weaponized. The subject has become taboo now. I don't let my girls have a cell phone until they leave home. Just this year, my 17 year old caught a girl doing her finals with a cell. The teacher did nothing. She didn't rat out her schoolmate and I don't blame her. Her schoolmate will learn the price of cheating will eventually catch up to her anyway. As was most things it's only a matter of time.

Sadly, that's a big misconception.

It's known that they are using multiple monitor setups to cheat the system, that way the have the camera on, working on their main monitor, and the second one provides the answers via AI.

So yes, soon humanity will kill their brains, and that's the worst thing we could ever see, if we want to keep evolving as species.

Ah, the world of Idiocracy is coming. That's a satirical movie by the way of mankind's future.

Anyone that still thinks the LLM's aren't biased should really reevaluate their thinking processes.

I just knew there was a good use for that secondary monitor. Too bad I'm long past taking tests, I missed the window!

Yep! Anything that involves humans, is more than likely, going be biased.

Ah, so the cheating students get to set up and control their own duplicate monitors. Cool.
