Accelerated Ignorance

A skeptical term used as a pun for "AI". Intended to convey the idea that any "AI" (circa 2023), which has been trained on vast amounts of human-generated data, is really doing little more than making the same old mistakes we've always made, only faster.

ChatGPT is nothing more than a stochastic parrot. It's like working with a team member that's on drugs and often lies to you. It's nothing more than accelerated ignorance.

Unintended acceleration

When a bad driver accidentally hits the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal inside a parking space, the car will usually accelerate into another object until it is stopped. In the present day, unintended acceleration is a term the offending driver likes to claim in order to avoid paying for their mistakes. Those drivers always blame the car for accelerating on its own. Even if you present them with logs and even witnesses, they will continue to believe their own lie and claim the car accelerated on its own. Companies like Audi, Toyota and Tesla have fallen into this same trap.

I had an unintended acceleration event today. My brand new car took off on its own in the parking spot. It jumped over a curb and hit a brick wall even though my foot was on the brakes. I want the manufacture to step in and investigate why it happened. I am sure the car accelerated on its own and I would like to have the repair paid by them.
