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.

Its bullshitting is obvious when asking for a specific easily verified fact. It seems to give a lot more knowledgeable answers when asking about something you don't know about. Regardless of what your area of expertise is, its output on that topic will sound dumb, wrong, or nonsensical a lot more often. It bullshits all the time and when the bullshit matches reality it's only because because the thing that sounds most like a right answer often is.
Similarly AI image generators were never actually bad at fingers, or letters, or mirrors- they are equally getting every small detail of the image slightly wrong and there are a few things our brains are really good at knowing how they should work and immediately spotting problems with.
This. Every time I ask AI to generate an answer based on something I already know, it comes out of left field with the most confidently wrong BS. It's impressive, if not for the fact that people are losing their jobs to this digital idiot.
Because it's not AI. It's not intelligent. It's ultimately designed to provide an answer or requested information but it does no actual reasoning.
