I agree that the focus should be on preventing deception. Maybe we should ask ChatGPT!

Several years ago I was at a hotel and I met a guy that worked for a company that specializes in automated equipment. He was in Bedford PA doing an installation at a tire recycling facility. He said one of the employees there told him that automation would never replace him, as he was slinging worn out tires. Sadly for him that was exactly what was about to happen. When I returned from my trip I told my boss that eventually, everything that can be automated will be automated and other than the few people it would take to keep things running, nobody would work. We would all get a check from the government, funded by taxes on the automated businesses. She said that was scary to think about and I agreed. With AI it's here. My daughter in law was a graphic designer. Job eliminated. AI is taking that over. I don't know how this will play out. I do know God knows.

That is scary to think about...on so many levels. We're about to see our world disrupted in ways we could never imagine. I think the chance of surviving it is dependent upon understanding it...not ignoring it or dismissing it or just talking about how bad it is. Going to be interesting!

They are using AI in weatherforecasting models. It's a learning experience for AI and it needs more time. I know of radio stations using AI for their weather reports. The Euro AI model has been doing pretty good and next week the American Model - GFS will begin it's version. Weather has been anything but normal, go good luck to AI. Me, personally, nothing like your own experience when it comes to forecasting the weather.

Great example of how AI could be another tool in the tool box for meteorologists but not the sole weather forecaster.
