No Real People Were Polled: AI Is Now Fabricating What "The Public Thinks"
The other day Axios ran a piece that cited "findings" that a majority of people trusted their doctors and nurses. Turns out, those "findings" were completely fabricated by a company called Aaru - using AI (causing Axios to issue an editor's note and 'clarification')Aaru uses something they call "silicon sampling," where large language models (the AI) can emulate humans at a fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling, the NY Times reports.

Authored by Michael Lebowtiz via RealInvestmentAdvice.com,
While tech giants invest billions in AI, Apple executives are quietly sitting on their hands and a mountain of cash. Given the massive growth in AI investments, as shown in the graphs below, executives of leading companies at the forefront of AI development must be ecstatic about the prospect of AI significantly boosting their bottom lines.
The puzzling question, however, is why Apple isn't following suit. Or could they be taking a different approach to winning the AI arms race?
