They really think that Macdonalds will use the same AI Model as in education? They use a tiny, cheap, dumb model.
Come on🙄

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.

You know, OpenAI published a paper in 2020 modelling how far they were from human language error rate and it correctly predicted the accuracy of GPT 4. Deepmind also published a study in 2022 with the same metrics and discovered that even with infinite training and power it would still never break 1.69% error rate.
These companies knew that their basic model was failing and that overfitying trashed their models.
Sam Altman and all these other fuckers knew, they've always known, that their LLMs would never function perfectly. They're convincing all the idiots on earth that they're selling an AGI prototype while they already know that it's a dead-end.

What blows my mind about all this AI shit is that these bots are “programmed” by just telling them what to do. “You are an employee working at McDonald’s” and they take it from there.
Insanity.
Yeah, all the control systems are in-band, making them impossible to control. Users can just modify them as part of the normal conversation. It's like they didn't learn anything from phone phreaking.
I mean... duh? The purpose of an LLM is to map words to meanings... to derive what a human intends from what they say. That's it. That's all.
It's not a logic tool or a fact regurgitator. It's a context interpretation engine.
The real flaw is that people expect that because it can sometimes (more than past attempts) understand what you mean, it is capable of reasoning.
Not even that. LLMs have no concept of meaning or understanding. What they do in essence is space filling based on previously trained patterns.
Like showing a bunch of shapes to someone, then drawing a few lines and asking them to complete the shape. And all the shapes are lamp posts but you haven't told them that and they have no idea what a lamp post is. They will just produce results like the shapes you've shown them, which generally end up looking like lamp posts.
Except the "shape" in this case is a sentence or poem or self insert erotic fan fiction, none of which an LLM "understands", it just matches the shape of what's been written so far with previous patterns and extrapolates.
