To be honest this is the kind of outcome I expected.
Garbage in, garbage out. Making the system more complex doesn’t solve that problem.
It appears, that with the increase in popularity of machine learning, the percentage of people who properly source and sanitize their training data has steeply decreased.
As you stated, a MLAI can only be as good as the data it was trained on, and is usually way worse. The popularity and application of MLAIs built with questionable practices scare me, though, at least their fuckups will keep me employed and likely more busy than ever.
LLM’s are not “machine learning”, they are neural-networks.
Different category.
ML is small potatoes, ttbomk.
Decision-tree stuff.
Neural-nets are black-boxes, with back-propagation training of the neural-net to get closer to ( layer by layer, training-instance by training-instance ) the intended result.
ML is what one does on one’s own machine with some python libraries,
ChatGPT ( 3, 3.5, or 4, don’t know which ) cost something like $100,000,000 to rent the machines required for mixing the training-data & the model ( I’m assuming about $20/hr per machine, so an OCEAN of machines, to do it )

The development of LLMs is possibly becoming self defeating, because the training data is being filled not just with human garbage, but also AI garbage from previous, cruder LLMs.
We may well end up with a machine learning equivalent of Kessler syndrome, with our pool of available knowledge eventually becoming too full of junk to progress.
Damn.
Thank you VERY much for that insight: AI’s version of Kessler-syndrome.
EXACTLY.
Damn, damn, damn, that gets the truth right in its marrow.
