A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I have a better suggestion: assume literally everything AI says is made up nonsense (because it is) and never ask it anything or read its summaries.
For me the question is "would I ask a complete dumbass to google this for me"? If I ever end up with a yes, I may consider asking AI. Though I still probably won't, because I can't stand the way they write.
Oh and the high-impact language they use feels really jarring and out of place. Everything is just so intense with these LLMs.
Yeah, that's a pretty safe approach. You never know which parts are crude averages of the training data and which parts got interpolated.
If you happen have subject matter expertise, you can tell where it all went wrong. On the other hand, at that point you already know what the right answer is so why bother asking an LLM in the first place. It's a very paradoxical situation.
