So if there was no ai this idiot would not be an idiot to others? Not like that
That's not remotely close to what I said. I said the companies have a responsibility to inform the idiot that it's not always accurate. They'll still be idiots, but they'll be made aware not to trust the LLM's response by default. They might complain about this map, but hopefully after they're told the LLM was wrong they'd recognize that it was the LLM's fault because the LLM tells them that it might make things up.
It doesn't cure idiots, but it does make it harder for idiots to make the mistake of trusting your software. Instead, they push the image that their software is intelligent ("AI"), and constantly send the message that it is to be trusted.
You underestimate the ingenuity of idiots
No, I don't. I just think companies should be responsible for the output of their products.
No, we are specifically discussing the conjunction between people being assholes and ai being asshole and the truth is obviously in between. You are on the position that it's an ai problem entirely.
This is the comment I was refuting:
It is an AI problem, and you've just admitted you agree. Yes, also people being stupid is also a problem, but that can't be fixed. Pretending like AI is intelligent or the answer to our problems can be fixed.
Let me introduce you to education. It makes people less stupid. And subsequently less of an asshole too. I admitted that it is a both problem, my original stance, you reaffirmed your stance that it is not a people problem. It's okay to disagree, but you have a polarised opinion that seems worth to point out for other readers. People can be less assholish and it can be changed. It's a both problem, which seems the concensus as well, cheers
I'm saying these companies should be educating them! Why are you arguing with me? But yes, it's both, obviously. It is an AI problem though, not just a people problem, and these companies should be trying to fix it and aren't. Education is something these companies should be responsible for about their product, so that is also an AI problem.
