AI mistakes and 50 year anniversary of continuous dating
My wife and I met December 31, 1974, and we went out a couple of times. Then went out next on June 18, 1976 to a multiple band concert at an MLB stadium. We saw Kansas, Head East, Fleetwood Mac, and REO Speedwagon.

Verifying the date, the internet had two dates claimed for the event 8 days apart. The AI summary said it was a two day festival which makes no sense if 8 days apart. It even says both days are on a Friday which can't be if the dates are 8 days apart.

Also claimed is the style of music is "classic rock" which didn't exist in 1976.

I'm afraid AI mistakes will be common and usual.

Kansas, Head East, Fleetwood Mac, and REO Speedwagon, June 18, 1976

On June 18, 1976, Kansas, Head East, Fleetwood Mac, and REO Speedwagon all performed at Summer Jam '76. This massive outdoor concert was held at Royals Stadium (now Kauffman Stadium) in Kansas City, Missouri, with Henry Gross also on the bill.

Congrats on the 50th anniversary of this momentous occasion for you and your wife!



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Roger that.

But they will be formatted and presented so well that those mistakes will be taken as gospel.

The classic phrase "Garbage In, Garbage Out" still applies.

Somebody's got to program in this "artificial" intelligence, and in my experience, computer people are not the Best and Brightest, not by a long shot.

Trusting Artificial Intelligence is like trusting Wikipedia or China, and for similar reasons.
