AI Perspectives
This project started out as the desire to see what good we can make out of using AI. So much focus is on productivity and the pursuit of efficiency, that I wanted to explore what else there might be.
In Colorado, we’re fortunate enough to have an election that comes to you. We all receive a blue book to help us make informed choices; showing pros and cons.
What if we can use AI to help us make better and more informed decisions? Yes, yes, hallucinations. Well, this where it’s important that we the humans in charge make sure we validate these things. Right, that’s the point. Making us more engage and challenging us in ways that we can maybe feel more comfortable in. It’s a machine generating words, nothing more nothing less. You can shout, ramble, disagree, and it’s still silicon and electrons beaming back at you. An impartial audience to you and your world views.
So where are these “Perspectives” forged from, Government data; BLS, Census, State Legislator, U.S. Department of Labor, State Open Data, AI. It’s as high quality as we can find. Not some fantasy about what we think a perspective might be. We leave the fantasies to the AI.
There might be things wrong in the output. While from what we’ve seen, the dialog doesn’t stray too far, remember, this is about trying on different perspectives not an encounter with facts. This goes for biases as well, even with a light skim, you should see things like overly positive responses or incongruence between what you expect and believe and what you read. This should highlight what happens when we feed our beliefs into AI and the problems with allowing others to dictate what those beliefs are.
If you’ve been ooh’d and aah’d by the artificiality please consider donating to the very real people who bring you perspectives:
