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.

It's just full-text searching on all published books in the last one hundred years. How hard is that? How did it manage to be wrong?
Because it isn't searching. It's printing the thing that is probabilistically "correct". There is no thought or lookup or anything that a person would do to actually be correct
Man, I've asked AI very specific questions about publicly available information, and it often gets it so fucking wrong.
In many cases, it's worse than basic search engines.
