It’s not insane. It’s advanced!

No, it should be a flaming trash bin.

There are even instructions in there!

Intelligence is ineffable! It’s something that only humans possess! It’s what makes us different from the other animals!

Also, we’ve recreated it in computer form. Now give us lots of money.

The Walmart logo is one of those. I think you may be onto something here!

Women aren’t the only people who can get pregnant.

Really? Because I see only one religion pushing this shit, and it’s Christianity.

It’s the chain of life!

Okay, I imagine that using an LLM is like having several Tasmanian Devils on your team.

Reminds me of that Douglas Crockford talk on managers. I’ll see if I can dig it up.

I wonder what he thinks about LLMs.

You don’t need to do key combos if you’re on Lemmy or reddit, because three hyphens in Markdown makes an em dash. It makes me wonder which other HTML entities I can make.

I was with you on this until I found that out. Unfortunately, “em dash means AI” is the same level of sleuthing as “new account must be a bot”. It’s a lazy heuristic that’s often wrong, but you’ll never find out because nobody can prove that they aren’t AI.

I am impressed. I’m still a plebe — who has to use three hyphens.

(And this is how I found out that three hyphens in Markdown = an em dash!)

ETA: Oh, wow, you can make an en dash – with two hyphens! Mind. Blown.

Why should I literally care?

It doesn’t matter how fast it is if the answer is wrong, and it does seem to be wrong an awful lot. I will check their citations to see if they back up their output, and many times they do not.

Jesus should we go back to having to type in the specific web address to find everything !?

Uh, no? Just use a search engine? You remember those, right?

Oh, of course. It’s all lowest-common-denominator, mediocre bullshit. If they could come up with something unique, that would be actual intelligence.

If you want to test this out, try asking for “novel” or “unusual” output. It’s still derivative, but perhaps just a little bit less derivative than standard output.

The wording also struck a nerve because many AI models were trained on enormous amounts of publicly available internet data such as books, articles, forums and creative work created by millions of people who were never directly compensated.

That’s much too kind. We were never indirectly compensated, either.

I ask a question, they give me the wrong answer. I tell them they gave me the wrong answer. They apologize, and then repeat the same mistake in the next answer. Or they give me a different wrong answer. I eventually give up and solve it with a web search.

I don’t know if my questions are about really obscure stuff or what, but it’s really annoying. Like, I know that they’re only predicting tokens, but how hard is it to program them to go “Okay, we’ve already established that this pattern of tokens is wrong, so I’m not going to include it in the next answer”.

No, no you aren’t. I’m worried about the creator of the site, though. Y I K E S

(ETA: Y’all, I think we’re being trolled.)

True enough, but even still I don’t see that “gnostic atheism” is obviously the opposite of “agnostic atheism”.

They aren’t, but that wasn’t the claim. Here’s what you said:

Gnostic and agnostic are not opposites!

The article you linked explains how they’re opposites. Gnostic and agnostic are opposites, just like theism and atheism are opposites.
