Just have a condition of entry to a social site is to say something racist. If from that point on that user is racist every single time they say something, even if it is not on topic, it's AI.

99.99999% of text content is already algorithmically generated SEO for spam sites.

I saw some statistics that say that's already true....

Dead internet theory in practice.

I don't see much evidence of intelligence, artificial or not, behind that proportion of posts in 2022.

Modern artificial intelligence is not intelligence. It's merely brute forcing a solution by using enormous amounts of computing power to quickly calculate every possible permutation then test them to see which fit the specified criteria.

Tell a computer to write a story it will just randomly generated loads of stuff then pick out the ones that meet it's predefined criteria. This can get massively complicated to the point it seems like the machine is thinking but it's output is only as good as it's input.

I think the real danger nobody is talking about now will come from automatic translation technology. The tech is much much better than it used to be. But it's still far from perfect. But as the servers get access to more and more data and more and more examples they'll slowly get better, they'll even get to a point eventually where you do have a basic "universal translator" of sorts as it draws from massive amounts of stored data, and it will work fine for any sort of scripted or "normal" interactions. But it will never perfectly translate things, because such a concept doesn't exist, languages are not a mathematical equation to be solved. But translators by necessity must treat them as one. The danger comes when translation becomes good enough, that most people don't know enough to tell the difference, and there will be far less necessity for people to study language, and so there will be less people around to tell whether or not the translations are accurate, writing styles will change to become more robotic to fit the automatic translation themselves and style guides will be updated.

In the end of it all, it may be something as simple as the computer not understanding the subtle nuance between "less than 9000" and "not more than 9000" as the common parlance in Asian languages is an inclusive rather than exclusive comparative. But that's an easily fixed and easily identified issue. Far harder to translate where the subtle differences between nouns are not the same across languages. Some concepts cannot even be explained because the very words needed to explain them don't exist, and cannot exist, because if they did exist then the concept would not exist. One cannot hope to explain why nothing isn't something or is something or is perhaps a non-somethig. It isn't feasible to describe the essence of what is not because while words describe what is it is often more important to know what words are not and lost in the translation is the very concept of that which is not that which is not which is that which is lost. The not nothing or the totality of that which is why difference between the nothing that is not excluded and the nothing that is not in included. One will go insane even trying to describe the concept. Yet. In order to speak any human language we all must understand it and we all do even if we are not willing to peer beyond the veil of sanity and view nakedly the working of our own minds, built in the image of God is that which will drive any man mad to see it.

Math

1 into three parts. 1/3rd. 0.33333333333.... equivalent. Yet, 1/3rd three times is 3/3 equals one. But 0.3333333333.... three times is 0.99999999999999999999....

The miniscule sliver of the infinite is lost in the translation, that sliver being a part of the infinite is therefore also infinite and can never be fully understood by mortals.
