I feel like people who are mad at AI for hallucinating and being unreliable aren't really 1:1 with tech. Its just like the internet, in fact they're all trained on the internet. You cannot take what results you get at face value, its all about your prompt and how you interpret the results.
Why would any expect an internet aggregator to be perfect? You aren't supposed to use google to get direct answers to things, its a tool for doing research.
Lately I've been making extensive use of AI in my work and its actually incredible what arguing with a bot can do for you. A bots hallucination might be worthless to one person, but absolutely inspiring to another. I've been really applying LLMs to help solve big hard problems and their ability to give me new leads is simply amazing. A lot of people are really sleeping on using LLMs as a tool, and instead they just want it to be a correct answer machine.
Not to say that idea is without merit, it would be nice if LLMs were always right. But in the same vein AI right now is like a hammer, compared to its ideal, a nail gun. Just because it takes more skill to use doesn't mean it isn't useful, nor does it mean there isn't a future where AI actually does make everyone happy. All tech needs iteration, duh.
I feel like I should also mention, that corporate controlled AI, services like chatGPT, are lame and I literally have never used one. I only run local models, and lately I've been using Llama 3.1. Which yes is made by facebook and you can kinda tell in the way it talks which is funny. But its still free, still local, and still useful.
People aren't mad because its hallucinating, that's basically the only positive of this shit. People are mad because the industry is trying to pretend like they can just handwaive away hallucinations and other limitations as though its "iteration, duh", despite it having hard limits (they're already running out of stuff to train it on so they're resorting to training it on the fucked up hallucinations and other BS shit these are spewing out). Further, this stuff is being used in literal life and death matters, from healthcare (not for diagnosing, but rather for denying coverage by insurance companies), or housing and other that is leading to real world harm for human beings. That is happening now.
I feel like people that think people are mad about AI for dumbass Google answers aren't being 1:1 with tech, or reality for that matter. Most likely its more willfull delusions though. Did you miss how Techbros are writing manifestos declaring that people that aren't just "max AI ASAP" are murderers? Or them salivating over using it to enforce literal worse than Nazi fascist states? Cause that's pretty fucked up stuff that is also actually happening.
Well you certainly won't get direct answers from Google because they ruined their search engine deliberately to prevent you from finding what you're actually looking for (they were doing that before AI even though), but I digress.
You're not solving any "big hard problems" (unless you've got a giant dick and are using it to beat off instead of raping people or something) with your LLMs if having stupid fucked up conversations with chatbots is blowing your mind so much. I'd say I'd be curious what problems you're supposedly solving, but honestly you sound like every other AI Evangelist and Crypto Messiah believer, which all just sound like teenagers that just discovered weed (or probably more Joe Rogan and Ayahuasca), and I have no interest in arguing with people that pretend they're really open minded when its having the opposite affect. I'm getting strong vibes of the guy on here that within I think a literal week went from having no clue about crypto currency to declaring that it would solve all the worlds problems including world hunger, that then got upset when his astounding business idea wouldn't work if he had to charge people sales tax when selling them things.
What in the fuck? So all corporate LLMs are lame and you've never used one, except for the one you then literally next sentence admit to using? What in the hell? You have to be an AI bot with that level of logic. Just because you're limiting yourself to that version instead of paying for access to their latest BS machine doesn't mean you're not still using their corporate controlled BS machine. Sounds more like sour grapes that you can't afford access than that you actually are opposed to anything with regards to whatever you're trying to make the negative connotation to "corporate controlled".
Can I interest you in some Hawk-tuah cryptocurrency? You can have mindblowing experiences chatting with it, though you will have to use your brain to develop some original thoughts instead of relying on a chatbot to diarrhea them out.
