    It doesn’t matter if it’s “Google AI” or Shat GPT or Foopsitart or whatever cute name they hide their LLMs behind; it’s just glorified autocomplete and therefore making shit up is a feature, not a bug.

      Making shit up IS a feature of LLMs. It’s crazy to use it as search engine. Now they’ll try to stop it from hallucinating to make it a better search engine and kill the one thing it’s good at …

        Maybe they should branch it off. Have one for making shit up purposes and one for search engine. I haven’t found the need for one that makes shit up but have gotten value using them to search. Especially with Google going to shit and so many websites being terribly designed and hard to navigate.

      Chatgpt was in much higher quality a year ago than it is now.

      It could be very accurate. Now it’s hallucinating the whole time.

        I was thinking the same thing. LLMs have suddenly got much worse. They’ve lost the plot lmao

          That’s because of the concerted effort to sabotage LLMs by poisoning their data.

            I’m not sure thats definitely true… my sense is that the AI money/arms race has made them push out new/more as fast as possible so they can be the first and get literally billions of investment capitol

              Maybe. I’m sure there’s more than one reason. But the negativity people have for AI is really toxic.

                  People aren’t being critical. At least most are. They’re just being haters tbh. But we can argue this till the cows come home, and it’s not gonna change either of our minds, so let’s just not.

                    You simply choosing to ignore valid criticisms and hand waving them away as people “just being haters” does not make it so.

                    We’re not arguing. I’m just pointing out your own bias.

                is it?

                nearly everyone I speak to about it (other than one friend I have who’s pretty far on the spectrum) concur that no one asked for this. few people want any of it, its consuming vast amounts of energy, is being shoehorned into programs like skype and adobe reader where no one wants it, is very, very soon to become manditory in OS’s like windows, iOS and Android while it threatens election integrity already (mosdt notibly India) and is being used to harass individuals with deepfake porn etc.

                the ethics board at openAI got essentially got dispelled and replaced by people interested only in the fastest expansion and rollout possible to beat the competition and maximize their capitol gains…

                …also AI “art”, which is essentially taking everything a human has ever made, shredding it into confetti and reconsstructing it in the shape of something resembling the prompt is starting to flood Image search with its grotesque human-mimicing outputs like things with melting, split pupils and 7 fingers…

                you’re saying people should be positive about all this?

                  You’re cherry picking the negative points only, just to lure me into an argument. Like all tech, there’s definitely good and bad. Also, the fact that you’re implying you need to be “pretty far on the spectrum” to think this is good is kinda troubling.

                    I didnt say you need to be autistic to like AI, I said the only person I know who is enthusiastic about AI is on the spectrum.

                    I listed half a dozen things off of the top of my head that are cearly negatives. What good things are coming out of this?
