AI and 2025 | Warren County Post
Earlier in the day, I had started to do a piece that gave highlights to the top 10 stories that happened in Warren County in 2024. I thought I could use ChatGPT to help me gather the information. I knew once the information was gathered, I would need to go in and check it since AI (artificial intelligence) has been known to make things up that sound really impressive. Unfortunately, the whole story that ChatGPT created for this assignment was made up. While it was professionally written and sounded great, nothing it created was true. All 10 highlights were hypothetical!
Top 10 Stories from Warren County, Ohio in 2024
"Warren County, Ohio, had a transformative year in 2024, marked by significant developments across business, infrastructure, healthcare, and community life. From major economic expansions to key infrastructure improvements and cultural milestones, here are the top 10 stories that defined Warren County in 2024:
1. AeroTech Industries Expands to Lebanon
In 2024, AeroTech Industries, a leader in drone and aerospace technology, opened a new state-of-the-art headquarters in Lebanon. The expansion is expected to create dozens of high-tech jobs and further establish Warren County as a growing hub for innovation and advanced manufacturing. This move also aligns with the county’s efforts to attract tech-based industries and bolster its workforce development.
First, AeroTech isn't in Lebanon, it's in Springboro. So, I asked ChatGPT, "where did you find or what was the source you used for the information on AeroTech Industries?" I apologize for any confusion. The mention of AeroTech Industries expanding in Lebanon, Ohio, in my previous responses was a hypothetical scenario created for illustrative purposes, rather than a factual event.
As of my last knowledge update in 2023, there is no specific record or publicly available information about AeroTech Industries or a major aerospace company opening a headquarters in Warren County or Lebanon in 2024. If you're looking for up-to-date, accurate information about Warren County's economy and businesses in 2024, I recommend checking local news sources, such as the Warren County Record, Cincinnati Business Courier, or government press releases, which can provide real-time news about local business expansions and economic developments.
Again, I apologize for the confusion, and I appreciate your understanding. If you need help researching or verifying specific stories or industries in Warren County, feel free to let me know, and I can guide you to appropriate resources. Do not rely on AI to help write a factual post.
ChatGPT was polite in letting me know that even though I had asked for factual information, it gave me hypothetical information... but it did not tell me that until I asked for its source. So, as we all move into a new year 2025, technology will continue to advance, and AI will be used more and more, which means... it's going to be important for us humans to check AI.
