I'm dead convinced that a significant portion of AI companies' revenue is spent paying off every major media outlet NOT to point out all the obvious problems with it + creating legions of bots and bullshit articles online to hype AI up
cause like. apart from the (potential) exception of writing code, there is not really anything useful that a Large Language Model can do.
it imitates patterns in the text that it takes in
that's fundamentally how it works
if a Large Language Model can produce text that looks like something a human created, that doesn't mean it can do a human's job, it means that the paperwork/plan/document it's being used to create no longer fucking means anything
Yes, haha funny, the AI is bamboozled by spelling, but seriously: I asked Google the same question 5 different times just now, and not only did I get 5 incorrect answers, I got 5 completely different incorrect answers.
The fact that they're different every time demonstrates just how much of an LLM's output is up to random chance. This is how LLMs imitate human language: each stage of constructing the text has built-in randomness, just like how human language has variation and flexibility.
This is my problem with using these things in the workplace. Like, imagine you're using an LLM to fill out a report of an accident that happened, or to write dietary recommendations for a patient, or to give feedback on a paper a student wrote...really anything you can think of.
Even if the LLM-generated text doesn't say anything technically flat-out wrong, the words and details are still randomized instead of being chosen by you for an actual reason.
Using an LLM for these tasks means it doesn't matter to you exactly what you write, what words you use, what details you include, or what meaning it has, just that it looks like you wrote something.
I’ll also point out that it’s also not good for writing code for the exact same reasons. Part of working on a codebase is working within established coding patterns and architectural decisions so that other people can easily navigate it. If every single module is written completely differently than, inevitably, when some human has to go in there and fix a bug it becomes much harder since every file is written completely different even if they handle the same problem-space. If one module is completely object oriented and uses class instantiation for everything and another that solves a similar problem is functional programming and relies entirely on pure functions then trying to figure out how they are supposed to work together is infinitely harder than just using one model.
I suspected this might be the case but truth be told I didn't know enough about coding to say either way.
Ok now I’m curious… Which do you prefer:
I have lived in and out of the city, I prefer the city
I have only lived in the city, I prefer the city
I have only lived out of the city, I prefer the city
I have lived in and out of the city, I prefer out of the city
I have only lived in the city, I prefer out of the city
I have only lived out of the city, I prefer out of the city

why was oompa loompa standing with the spanish team as they lifted up the trophy? never let americans host any major sports event ever again
crazy to me that there is a real man on the Spain futbol team called Pedro porro. why is he playing futbol he should be selling weed on WhatsApp groups

having a headache while hydrated is so unfair. you were supposed to protect me.
Waking up from a nap and still having a headache is so unfair. You were supposed to save me.
