A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

... and neither does the author (or so I believe - I made them both up).

On the other hand, AI is definitely good at creative writing.

Hallucinations are so strong with this one too… like really bad.

If I can’t already or won’t be able/willing to verify an output, I ain’t usin’ it - not a bad rule I think.

I never walk away with an "answer" without having it:

  1. Cite the source
  2. Lookup the source
  3. Permlink you to the source page/line as available
  4. Critique the validity of the source.

After all that, still remain skeptical and take the discussion as a starting point to find your own primary sources.

That’s good. Ooh NotebookLM from Google just added in-line citations (per Hard Fork podcast). I think that’s the way: see what looks interesting (mentally trying not to take anything to heart) and click and read as usual.

At least Bing will cite sources, and hell, sometimes they even align with what it said.

Heh yeah if the titles of webpages from its searches were descriptive enough

Funny that they didn’t have a way to stop at claiming it could browse websites. Last I checked you could paste in something like

https://mainstreamnewswebsite.com/dinosaurs-found-roaming-playground

and it would tell you which species were nibbling the rhododendrons.

…wow still works, gonna make a thread

(I’m not smart enough to leverage a model/make a bot like this but they’ve had too long not to close this obvious misinformation hole)
