AI - Artificial intelligence

You’re right - this is a mix of big tech hatred combined with false expectations about what “AI” means and what an LLM should be able to do.

I think one big “issue” with current LLMs is that they’re too good. The first time I saw text from one, it was so bad it was hilarious - perfectly polished sentences that were total nonsense. It was obvious this thing was just talking, and all of it was gibberish. Now the answers make sense, and they’re often factually correct as well, so I can’t really blame people for forgetting that under the hood it’s still the same gibberish machine. They start applying standards to it as if it were an early AGI, and when it fails a basic task like this, it feels like they’ve been lied to (which, to be fair, they have) - when in reality, they’re just trying to drive screws with a hammer.
