As an extension of Setec's thread about "Come On People" and trying to get present and past Autopians to post in this new forum format, I cannot help but wonder if Artificial Intelligence programs and software are now having or making a much bigger impact on and to this forum than I realize.
I have not used an AI program, like Google Gemini, or any of them to garner information about a wide variety of subjects or to use it to help write a paper or report or general correspondence with other.
What concerns me the most is that those AI programs will gather all the information from existing detailing forums, and then present it to the user who posted the question about a particular detailing task or product. It is a game-changer to be sure.
It is also obvious that no AI program has detailed a vehicle (Yet! AI detailing robots are coming), so the information gathered are from humans and their posted experiences and opinions on all the social media platforms.
And that is just the point, this information is from humans, not artificial intelligence programs and machines.
I am not sure about copyright laws and who actually "owns" the intellectual information you (and I) Autopians have posted over the years here in this forum, but you know that in the past there was a lot of Cut-and-Paste text that some unscrupulous individuals tried to pass off as their own on detailing topics within this forum and the "trouble" it caused. Now it may (or can, to be more precise) happen a grand scale because of AI.
Do I think it (AI information gathering and presentation publishing) needs to be regulated? Yes, with a caveat. It is too late to do so and I think to the end-user who wants this information, AI is a god-send. To detailing forums and the members who posted their detailing experiences and opinions over many years, it is afront to personal plagiarism and copyright infringement, myself included. Where this concern will end up is anyone's guess and it would be fool-hardy on my part to make any predictions about its regulated control or limits or even if there will be any in the near future.
What are your thoughts on Artificial Intelligence and detailing information? I am particularly interested in Autopians who are currently using AI for or in their job or schooling or just general interest and what your thoughts are about it.
