"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.

I was thinking about this recently... and in the early 2000s for a short time there was this weird chat bot crazy on the internet... everyone was adding them to web pages like MySpace and free hosting sites...
I feel like this has been the resurrection of that but on a whole other level... I don't think it will last it will find its uses but shoving glorified auto suggest down people's throats is not going to end up anywhere helpful...
A LLM has its place in an ai system... but without having reason its not really intelligent. Its like how you would decide what to say next in a sentence but without the logic behind it
The logic is implicit in the statistical model of the relationship between words built by ingesting training materials. Essentially the logic comes from the source material provided by real human beings which is why we even talk about hallucinations because most of what is output is actually correct. If it it was mostly hallucinations nobody would use it for anything.
No you can't use logic based on old information...
If information changes between variables a language model can't understand that, because it doesn't understand.
If your information relies on x being true, when x isn't true the ai will still say its fine because it doesn't understand the context
Just like it doesn't understand things like not to do something.
Well people use it and don't care about hallucinations.
