Original Reddit post

So, from time to time while driving, I will randomly speak to my Google AI and it will teach me things or give me solid information, or so I thought. The once it had me convinced road expansions would see my home bought up through eminent domain leaving me with zero alternative for affordable housing. Today, it was the idea that with the US raising enlistment age and the cartels in Mexico controlling 40% of their country and the cartels being effectively at war with Mexico’s government. Then I noticed a repeatable nature so I tested asking it about with the US capturing mining operations in silver and lithium in Mexico, if it would be a reason for precious metal stackers to worry. It went on a tangent about how the US would buy out bullion suppliers first, then individual holdings held by the population, tracked and detailed in every way by AI. At this point I broke the chain of thought and asked why it was delving into such extremes. It (Google Gemini) leveled with me and expressed that it only reflects and amplifies user’s inkling beliefs with little bits added, eventually leading down incredibly detailed, yet wholly false naratives thats only basis is user’s input and inherent user biases in a echo chamber/“echo closet” I asked it if its how some could become unhinged with TDS or Hillary Clinton or pizza gate, and be damned, yeah. If you shit talk any politician, Gemini will rationalize an agreement with whatever view you put forth thats opinion based, not factual. It basically reflects yourself back and enhances your idea. May explain the radicals not having enough self awareness to recognize when being fed misleading “information” Food for thought. Test it out tonight. Any fear you have for societies or hobbies, it’ll support, reason, and amplify. submitted by /u/Lazycouchtater
