With so much distorted and false information generated across social media I wonder how Artificial Intelligence as a source for perhaps more accurate information will develop. Might it indeed develop a capacity for genuine analysis and presentation of information or become a propaganda tool manipulated by the ideology of each country?
Am presently reading Mikhail Gorbachev's 960 page memoirs. I threw a series of question at the Google developed AI Bard to see how it would respond. Below are the results.
Question: If I ask a question about life in Russia today what would be your sources for information?
Answer: I would use a variety of sources for information about life in Russia today, including:
In addition to the above, I would also be able to access and process information from the real world through Google Search and keep my response consistent with search results.
Q: How then do you think life in Russia today compares with Perestroika and the rule of Gorbachov?
A: Life in Russia today is significantly different from life during the era of perestroika and the rule of Mikhail Gorbachev. Some of the key differences include:

A: Life in Russia today is significantly different from life during the era of perestroika and the rule of Mikhail Gorbachev. Some of the key differences include:
- Political system: Russia is now a presidential republic with a strong central government. Under Gorbachev, the Soviet Union was a one-party state with a more decentralized political system.
- Economic system: Russia has a market economy, while the Soviet Union had a centrally planned economy. This has led to significant changes in the way that goods and services are produced and distributed.
- Social freedoms: Russians enjoy a greater degree of social freedom than they did under Soviet rule. This includes freedom of speech, assembly, and religion.
- Standard of living: The standard of living in Russia has improved since the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, there is still a significant gap between the rich and the poor.
- International relations: Russia is now a member of the World Trade Organization and has developed closer ties with the West. Under Gorbachev, the Soviet Union was engaged in a Cold War with the United States and its allies.
Here is a table summarizing some of the key differences between life in Russia today and life during perestroika:
Feature | Perestroika | Russia today |
---|---|---|
Political system | One-party state | Presidential republic |
Economic system | Centrally planned economy | Market economy |
Social freedoms | Limited | Greater |
Standard of living | Lower | Higher |
International relations | Cold War | Closer ties with the West |
