"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Yes, LLMs were up-jumped to "AI" by techbros that wanted to create the next big scam. No surprise there, as that's what they always do; leaving someone else holding the bag before everything crashes and loses value. Anyway, I wouldn't specifically trust their 80% number, because they could've massaged the numbers or had real people intervene when their LLM was about dispense a bad prescription double whammy. Even with a limited list of allowed medications, the programming of LLMs allows for 'hallucinations' and breaking the supposed safety rails that are built into the code.
Easily blowing out any guardrails to continue engagement and output. Even OTC drugs can be dangerous when taken for too long or at too high of a dose. You can have adverse reactions with other OTC drugs and nutritional supplements (like vitamin/mineral tablets). A LLM would never be able to account for that...
I'd assume that a lawsuit will be coming up eventually as LLMs used for a purpose they were never meant for...Leads to such avoidable choices! Like the current lawsuits and cases where LLM chatbots isolated and talked suicidal people into committing suicide without seeking help. All for the lifetime engagement!
I can only hope all these corporations pushing LLM powered services and invasive programs get fucked financially and can't continue operating. 🤬
