“AI-powered writing tools are increasingly integrated into our e-mails and phones. Now a new study finds biased AI suggestions can sway users’ beliefs”
“We told people before, and after, to be careful, that the AI is going to be (or was) biased, and nothing helped,” Naaman said. “Their attitudes about the issues still shifted.”

I've always turned off Auto complete & now auto suggest on my phone, but do use the spellchecker. The Grammar checker is also off as it's pointless on limited size messages. -

@gregeganSF These are the Thinking Machines from Dune from 60 years ago.
Not killer robots that hunt down humans to enslave and murder them. But billionaires conditioning lazy and gullible people to make them obedient to their will. -

@gregeganSF Friedrich Nietsche, in 1882: ,,Unser Schreibzeug arbeitet mit an unseren Gedanken.'' (That's roughly ''Our writing tool contributes to the work on our thoughts.'') So he wrote as he had become one of the first users of the newly invented typewriter. The device helped him since he had poor eyesight at the time.
What are autoocmplete and AI helping us with, and what are we poor at? In the end, it's just tools we use for writing, right?
More of a parallel: He didn't buy the typewriter device by himself, but his sister got him one, understanding that it might help him. -- These days, we feel like we're being given the tool, rather than deciding for using it.
Less of a parallel: Nietsche found the device helpful for him.
