"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.

But it doesnt matter if they use ai or web search if they dont understand the bare minimum about their equiptment. If you cant even look at the input rating that is written right besides the inputs on the device you are already fucked.
Fair point, but surely that's not the only situation? Maybe you're planning work and aren't right by your equipment, and you're making decisions based on AI output. Danger.
Yea sure then it would be dumb? But this isnt really the case? A person who doesnt know that high voltages are dangerous shouldnt work on high voltages, also the ai output isnt even wrong in this case. If you thing that something valuable comes up with this search its already a problem a random site wwont display sspecifications for your device you should always look at the datasheet. Searching for "max voltage" instead of going to the manufacturers site and/or downloading the datasheet is not really the right aproach.
Its not like op searched "can i connect a 115v device to 230v" and ai giving the wrong awnser. There are many reasons and examples where the ai search is bad, this isnt one of them people dont need to invent cases for ai bad when there are enough real ones out there.
This is easy for you to say, because you have sense. It can somehow be hard to relate to how fucking stupid people can be, even if they have proper domain knowledge, and how much trust people put into technology without questioning it's veracity.
