"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.

It's pretty obvious how this happened.
All the data it has been trained on said "next year is 2026" and "2027 is two years from now" and now that it is 2026 it doesn't actually change the training data. It doesn't know what year it is, it only knows how to regurgitate answers it was already trained on.
This is actually the reason why it will never actually become general AI. Because they're not training it with logic they're training it with gobbledy goop from the internet.
