Why I am not impressed by A.I.

[voroxpete@sh.itjust.works]

Noted, I'll be giving that a proper read after work. Thank you.

[schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de]

Me too. More than once on a language learning subreddit for my first language: "I asked ChatGPT whether this was correct grammar in German, it said no, but I read this counterexample", then everyone correctly responded "why the fuck are you asking ChatGPT about this".

Artificial sugar is still sugar.

Because it contains sucrose, fructose or glucose? Because it metabolises the same and matches the glycemic index of sugar?

Because those are all wrong. What's your criteria?

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

No apologies needed. Enjoy your day and keep the good vibes up!

it's not good for summaries. often gets important bits wrong, like embedded instructions that can't be summarized.

[l3s@lemmy.world]

My experience has been very different, I do have to sometimes add to what it summarized though. The Bsky account is mentioned is a good example, most of the posts are very well summarized, but every now and then there will be one that isn't as accurate.

These models don't get single characters but rather tokens repenting multiple characters. While I also don't like the "AI" hype, this image is also very 1 dimensional hate and misreprents the usefulness of these models by picking one adversarial example.

Today ChatGPT saved me a fuckton of time by linking me to the exact issue on gitlab that discussed the issue I was having (full system freezes using Bottles installed with flatpak on Arch. This was the URL it came up with: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux/-/issues/110

This issue is one day old. When I looked this shit up myself I found exactly nothing useful on both DDG or Google. After this ChatGPT also provided me with the information that the LTS kernel exists and how to install it. Obviously I verified that stuff before using it, because these LLMs have their limits. Now my system works again, and figuring this out myself would've cost me hours because I had no idea what broke. Was it flatpak, Nvidia, the kernel, Wayland, Bottles, some random shit I changed in a config file 2 years ago? Well thanks to ChatGPT I know.

They're tools, and they can provide new insights that can be very useful. Just don't expect them to always tell the truth, or to actually be human-like

Skill issue

In this example a sugar is something that is sweet.

Another example is artificial flavours still being a flavour.

Or like artificial light being in fact light.

[prandom_returns@lemm.ee]

So for something you can't objectively evaluate?
Looking at Apple's garbage generator, LLMs aren't even good at summarising.

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

Yeah and you know I always hated this screwdrivers make really bad hammers.

[static_rocket@lemmy.world]

That was this reality. Very briefly. Remember AI Dungeon and the other clones that were popular prior to the mass ml marketing campaigns of the last 2 years?

[zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com]

I asked Gemini if the quest has an SD slot. It doesn't, but Gemini said it did. Checking the source it was pulling info from the vive user manual

[zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com]

You rang?

[carnivorouscouch@lemmy.world]

This was an interesting read, thanks for sharing.

I think the point of the post is to call out exactly that: people preaching AI as replacing humans

[scubus@sh.itjust.works]

Thats because it wasnt originally called AI. It was called an LLM. Techbros trying to sell it and articles wanting to fan the flames started called it AI and eventually it became common dialect. No one in the field seriously calls it AI, they generally save that terms to refer to general AI or at least narrow ai. Of which an llm is neither.
