"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.

Our AI that monitors customer interactions sometimes makes up shit that didn't happen during the call. Any agent smart enough could probably fool it into giving the wrong summary with the right key words. I only caught on when I started reading the logs carefully, but I don't know if management cares so long as the business client is happy.
Tbf at this point corporate economy is made up anyway so as long as investors are gambling their endless generational wealth does it matter?
This is how I’m starting to see it too. Stock market is just the gambling statistics of the ownership class. Line goes down and we’re supposed to pretend it’s harder to grow food and build houses all of a sudden.
The output from tools infected with LLMs can intrinsically only ever be imprecise, and should never be trusted.
I guarantee you this is how several, if not most, fortune 500 companies currently operate. The 50k DOW is not just propped up by the circlejerk spending on imaginary RAM. There are bullshit reports being generated and presented every day.
I patiently wait. There is a diligent bureaucrat sitting somewhere going through fiscal reports line by line. It won't add up.. receipts will be requested.. bubble goes pop
I hope they sue whoever sold it to them. it's not artificial intelligence, it's a machine learning chat bot. they may as well be running their company with a magic eight ball.
Surely this is just fraud right? Seeing they have a board directors they have shareholders probably? I feel they should at least all get fired, if not prosecuted. This lack of competency is just criminal to me.
I see this happening more and more as corporate USA throws itself blindly into AI dependency. Basic facts and information will become corrupted, maybe hopelessly so, as it infuses itself into our systems.
I fucking love this. It's amazing.
Lol.
Lmao, even.
What dumbass decided to implement an experimental technology and not test it for 5 minutes to make sure it's accurate before giving it to the whole company and telling them to rely upon it?
Someone who probably thought it would coast them through a bonus/vesting/promotion cycle and get out of dodge before consequences might happen. If this specific story is true, the big disaster is that it fell apart too soon, not that it fell apart.
Leopard meets face.
How much do you want to bet they also rolled out bonsuses based on this bogus data? The one saving grace is they started using the new LLM tooling mid-Q4 so any quarterlies would at least be partially based on real data

Copilot, is that you...
Hahahhahaha hahahahahahaha haaaaaaaaa
This is why I hate search engines promoting AI results when you are researching for something. It is confidently giving incorrect responses. I asked for sources on one LLM model before while using Duckduckgo, and it just told me that there are no sources and the information is based on broad knowledge. At one point, I challenged the AI that it is wrong, but it insisted it doesn't. It turns out that it is citing a years old source written by a different bot long ago. But on the one hand, most of you are probably familiar that on occasions that the AI is incorrect and you challenge it, it will relent, although it will be a sycophant even though you yourself are actually incorrect. This is Schrödinger's AI.
