Though nobody expected it in the first place, AI is not perfect and can make mistakes (obviously 🙄) What’s your experience with this? I’d love to hear about it.

"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.

Around 2023, the early days of AI and Google shoving it in everyone's faces in their search, I was trying to look up how to get nail glue off of a phone screen because my coworker at the time, during her shift, was doing her nails at the desk and got nail glue on the work phone.
The first result, Google's AI summary, suggested to "microwave the phone for one to two minutes." I clicked the source and it linked to a forum comment by a guy who was clearly joking about how to clean the phone, but the AI presented it as legitimate advice.
So AI thinks like a reddit mod? "This couldn't possibly be a joke. Get the ban hammer."
Wow. Fuck, that’s dumb even by AI standards (although it told me the other day I was, and I quote, “justified in wanting to implode”)
what was the context?
Basically I said I wanted to implode because of some frustration or something, and the way it started was ‘you are perfectly right to want to implode’ or something, rather than discourage it
