As the AI market continues to balloon, experts are warning that its VC-driven rise is eerily similar to that of the dot com bubble.

Five years ago? Try last month.

Or hell, why not try literally this instant. a screenshot of a Google inquiry asking if any countries in Africa start with the letter K, with an inaccurate response saying that Kenya "starts with a K sound, but is spelled with a K sound."

You make it sound like the tech is completely incapable of uttering a legible sentence.

In one article you have people actively trying to fuck with it to make it screw up. And in your other example you picked the most unstable of the new engines out there.

Omg It answered a question wrong once The tech is completely unusable for anything throw it away throw it away.

I hate to say it but this guy's not falling The tech is still usable and it's actually the reason why I said we need to have a specialized model to provide the raw data and grade the responses using the general model only for conversation and gathering bullet points for the questions and responses It's close enough to flawless at that that it'll be fine with some guardrails.

Oh, please. AI does shit like this all the time. Ask it to spell something backwards, it'll screw up horrifically. Ask it to sort a list of words alphabetically, it'll give shit out of order. Ask it something outside of its training model, and you'll get a nonsense response because LLMs are not capable of inference and deductive reasoning. And you want this shit to be responsible for teaching a bunch of teenagers? The only thing they'd learn is how to trick the AI teacher into writing swear words.

Having an AI for a teacher (even as a one-on-one tutor) is about the stupidest idea I've ever heard of, and I've heard some really fucking dumb ideas from AI chuds.
