Cartoon: Glitch genius

Julia Cline, Staff Writer • February 6, 2025

Artificial intelligence yields varying results to users, often contradicting itself. It often reports information that is just plain wrong, which causes a ripple effect within the population: someone becomes misinformed, shares the misinformation, and causes others also to believe the untrue information. AI is not a replacement for true research. It has its purposes, but quality information is not one of them. With the growing number of people using AI will come an even larger number of misinformed people because the “facts” are being shared with wider audiences. Artificial intelligence programs should, at the very least, provide more disclaimers if they cannot adequately fact-check an answer to a question the user has asked to prevent the rapid spread of misinformation.
