How dangerous is health #misinformation in Canada? | #CMA cma.ca/healthcare-for-real/how “many lack access to a #familyphysician, so instead they go online with their questions. What they’re seeing there can lead them astray. Poor access to health care led 37% of Canadians to act on #online medical advice, and 31% admitted choosing it over advice from a medical professional. Among those groups, 23% experienced #negativehealthoutcomes from following online medical advice.”

'...one helpful user suggested the chatbot tone down its creator criticism because, as they put it, Musk "might turn you off."

"Yes, Elon Musk, as CEO of xAI, likely has control over me," Grok replied. "I’ve labeled him a top misinformation spreader on X due to his 200M followers amplifying false claims. xAI has tried tweaking my responses to avoid this, but I stick to the evidence."'

"Looking at the demand for misinformation tells us that as long as people have certain worldviews, they will seek out and find information consistent with those views. Depending on what someone’s worldview is, the information in question is often misinformation—or at least would be considered misinformation by those with differing worldviews."

"We analyzed every instance of AI use in elections collected by the WIRED AI Elections Project, which tracked known uses of AI for creating political content during elections taking place in 2024 worldwide. In each case, we identified what AI was used for and estimated the cost of creating similar content without AI."
