You are correct. I actually have Apple TV+ but I don’t watch the Friday night games and when I got the story about the F1 deal, I asked my copilot AI is it true that this is the first sports deal that Apple has made because I know they have soccer and baseball and it told me F1 was different because there is no extra charge. I just double checked on my own account and saw that there is no extra charge for baseball and then confronted my copilot with That news, and as it does characteristically when confronted with a mistake, it showed no real guilt or regret, but confirm that it had been wrong the first time and that there is no extra charge for baseball games on Apple plus.
I believe the point because it’s important for me and for everyone who uses AI to keep in mind how prone they are to what they call hallucinations and other kinds of errors. I’ve been using copilot more and more at work for reviewing and identifying relevant research articles and things like that and it has been very helpful. I have learned from bitter experience. I cannot use articles that it supplies me in any kind of literature review or introduction without getting an actual copy of the article myself and reading it over because it is entirely capable of completely making up out of whole cloth an article with a convincing title convincing authors in a convincing journal and provide you with an abstract or a summary of the article And it’s only when you confront it with the truth that it will say oh yeah sorry you’re right that that’s not the real article.
