Dr Kevin Stillwagon on Herd Immunity - an AI dialogue

[Red Phoenix]

Here a 'dialogue' between dr Kevin STILLWAGON and Meta AI. 

It's interesting that the AI responses at first confidently asserted the mainstream media narrative that when vaccine hesitancy could be overcome that Covid-vaccination would lead to herd immunity. 

When dr Stillwagon confronted the AI that this is incorrect and that herd immunity can only happen through the cellular immunity provided by natural exposures, Meta AI admitted that that is correct and that it now 'revised its understanding' on the issue, only to later in the dialogue to restate its incorrect narrative.  

The same happened with AI's assertion that vaccination efforts should be focussed on high-risk populations (like the elderly and immuno-compromised).  The AI when confronted with dr Stillwagon's rebuttal that this is a bad idea as their immune system might not be up to the challenge, did apologize for its inconsistency.  But whether it will 'learn' from its mistakes and provide correct answers when other users would have a similar dialogue, remains to be seen.  

Artificial intelligence has a vast and constantly expanding access to information but will only regurgitate it in a certain way.

 

You an read this interesting dialogue in a short article posted on dr Kevin Stillwagon's substack.

What! So they can be killed off?

 

AI - for the present - can only act on data inputted into its system. Whether it can reason, or will be able to, remains firmly in the future. I think that 'weightings' will be given to certain data, and these' special ones' will over-ride the others. Maybe on a ratio of 10 to 1 (say) then the bot will change its mind when the 11th comes in. Another special one come in from a white=coat, and it will sway the bot's thinking again.

 

Didn't Thailand have something called 'Sim Simmer', or 'Noibot' a few years back? I'll check on that.
