    How old are you that 20 years is not so long?

    And also, why does that matter that it's not so long? Have you even bothered noticing all the damage Trump has done in under a month?

    His administration just fired a bunch of people responsible for keeping U.S. nuclear weapons secure without knowing what their jobs were.

    One month.

      I use it to write code for me sometimes, saving me remembering the different syntax and syntactic sugar when I hop between languages. And I use to answer questions about things I wonder - it always provides references. So far it's been quite useful. And for all that people bitch and piss and cry giant crocodile tears while gnashing their teeth - I quite enjoy Apple AI. It's summaries have been amazing and even scarily accurate. No, it doesn't mean Siri's good now, but the rest of it's pretty amazing.

        so no real chinese LLMs....who would have thought.....not the chinese apparently...but yet they think their "culture" of opression and stome-like-thinking will get them anywhere.
        the honey badger Xi calls himself an antiintellectual. this is how i perceive moat students from china i get to know. i pitty the chinese kids for the regime they live in.

          A hallucination is a false perception of sensory experiences (sights, sounds, etc).

          LLMs don't have any senses, they have input, algorithms and output. They also have desired output and undesired output.

          So, no, 'hallucinations' fits far worse than failure or error or bad output. However assigning the term 'hallucinaton' does serve the billionaires in marketing their LLMs as actual sentience.

            I just asked it what the heaviest Pokemon was, and it said wailord. I dont care about what it uses as a source as long as it's right.

              Honestly, i've had fairly good luck with AI, im not sure how yall havent, its really not that bad, I typically gotta make it bad on purpose for fun.

              I don't put effort in a 30 line question with a ton of specific stuff. I just ask it a question.

              What is the heaviest Pokemon?

              That's it. And then it goes and finds a Pokemon that isn't the heaviest now, and at no point in the series was it ever the heaviest.

              If I need multiple lines and clarification and stuff, that makes it worse than just finding it myself.

              Btw heaviest Pokemon is a many way tie as the weights don't go over 999.9kg.

                  First off the AI isn’t correct 100% of the time, and it never will be.

                  Secondly, you as well are stating in so many more words that people stop thinking critically about its output. They accept it.

                  That is a lack of critical thinking on the part of the AI users, as well as yourself and the original poster.

                  Like, I don’t understand the argument you all are making here - am I going fucking crazy? “Bro it’s not that they don’t think critically it’s just that they accept whatever they’re given” which is the fucking definition of a lack of critical thinking.

                  Let me try with another example that can get round your blind AI hatred.

                  If people were using a calculator to calculate the value of an integral they would have significantly less diversity of results because they were all using the same tool. Less diversity of results has nothing to do with how good the tool is, it might be 100% right or 100% wrong but if everyone is using it then they will all get the same (or similar if it has a random element to it as LLMs do).

                    It’s going to remove all individuality and turn us into a homogeneous jelly-like society. We all think exactly the same since AI “smoothes out” the edges of extreme thinking.

                          Like the way you asked it is conversational, so it responded like any random person would, but if you ask for it to base it on something real itll check against that

                            The heaviest Pokémon according to the Pokédex is Celesteela, which weighs 2204.4 lbs (999.9 kg). It’s an Ultra Beast introduced in Pokémon Sun & Moon and resembles a massive rocket.

                            Interestingly, the Pokédex caps weights at 999.9 kg, so Celesteela might not even be its true maximum weight!

                                  I've only used it to write cover letters for me. I tried to also use it to write some code but it would just cycle through the same 5 wrong solutions it could think of, telling me "I've fixed the problem now"

                                      Because that's double the sentence to type for a question. It's on my search thing that is meant to be for facts. I type the minimum sentence and the normal search works perfectly fine as it always has.

                                      Celesteela is tied first with cosmoem apparently. Searching for a list of heaviest Pokemon (typed heaviest Pokemon list) got gpt bing to respond with a list of Pokemon that are not the heaviest. Was looking for the actual list on a site, which the top link was but the AI ignored the top results of the search and spit out exclusively wrong answers.

                                        Asking what the heaviest anything is isn't subjective at all? Like, not even a tiny bit.

                                          What is the heaviest pokemon according to the pokedex?
                                          The heaviest Pokémon according to the Pokédex is Celesteela, which weighs 2204.4 lbs (999.9 kg). It’s an Ultra Beast introduced in Pokémon Sun & Moon and resembles a massive rocket.

                                          Interestingly, the Pokédex caps weights at 999.9 kg, so Celesteela might not even be its true maximum weight!

                                          It's still wrong and it even has the information in its own chat to know it is wrong. It's literally contradicting itself.
