Mind you this is about the currently heavily used machine learning architecture and not even LLMs which are another product of this architecture and have even less potential in my opinion.

Machine learning is a useful tool for research but it‘s just a tool that needs to be handled by competent people.

I‘m mean we‘re seeing what happens when you let AI loose on incompetent individuals.

Oh good, so AI proponents can finally shut up about it.

But it wasn’t all bad news. In some respects, AI can be a useful tool in completing repetitive tasks, statistical support and stress testing ideas, Sinitskiy said the research revealed.

“The point is AI can do really important things, but you need to know what kind of things it can do, and you need to run it properly,” he said. “That’s what I’m teaching students in my courses to do.”

This is absolutely shocking. It’s almost as if those theorems from the early 20th century establishing that digital algorithms can’t replace epistemology are true or something. Who could have guessed? Other than Gödel, Tarski, and Turing.
