A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'll start believing in AI when, and if, it's able to eliminate error. When will AI be able to work out whether the training material it used is true, fasle, myth, or other narrative?
We tried to build systems that perform a kind of basic, rudimentary, extremely power intensive and inefficient mimicry of how (we think maybe) brain cells work.
Then that system lies to us, makes epic bumbling mistakes, expresses itself with extreme, overconfidence, and constantly creatively misinterprets simple instructions. It recognizes patterns that aren't there, and regurgitates garbage information that it picks up on the internet.
Hmmm... Actually, maybe we're doing a pretty good job of making systems that work similarly to the way brain cells work...
