Human Error (or) Too much dependency on AI I saw a news article on news18.com announcing the sad demise of a 39 yr old, small time actor in Tamil cinema - Pradeep K Vijayan (may his soul rest in peace 💐). The article then moves on to talk about the yesteryear movie director K Vijayan, who passed away in 1988 (what's worse?, the article even mentions the year 1988 as well). For a minute, I thought I have moved on from one article to the next, but I was on the same piece. This was a major face palm moment for me 🤦 Not sure if it was a careless human error or the effect of some bad unsupervised usage of AI for content generation. https://lnkd.in/gMWYQWFd While AI is becoming very able and efficient in content writing and text generation tasks, it still has a long way to go in terms of fact checking and in accommodating errors at 'source'. Content creators esp. Journalists need to be very careful if they employ AI to generate content for their articles. It should be used as a mere tool and not as a system in auto-pilot mode. What worries me is that such bad and factually incorrect content may subsequently be used in further 'learning' and this will lead to more troubles. #ai #contentwriting #news #journalism
could be AI or intern and author is "entertainment bureau" and seemingly not part of news18
