  No one ever said they were. You constructed that straw man because you can’t tolerate the idea that most people think AI is bad. It’s not just an opinion. It’s a widely popular opinion supported by a ton of evidence, tons of logical and reasonable arguments, and well documented. I provided at least 4 different arguments and your response to all of them was “yes, but I don’t want to talk about it”. So, you know I’m right yet refuse to acknowledge it because it hurts your ego so much that you feel the need to defend it on an internet forum.

  All of which makes me return to the beginning. You’re not smart enough to have a grown up conversation a out AI without its assistance. So I will now stop providing arguments that you don’t want to hear, as obviously the only thing you want to hear is how great AI is. Unfortunately, AI bad.

    literally can’t do what a calculator can do reliably. or a timer. or a calendar.

      See, that’s your problem. You’re arguing, with me, about something that was said to you by someone else. Do you realize why I’m questioning your argumentative skills?

      Here’s a source to a study about AI’s accuracy as a search engine. The main use case proposed for LLMs as a tool is indexing a bunch of text, then summarizing and answering questions about it in natural language.

      AI Search Has A Citation Problem

      Another use is creating or modifying text based on an input or prompt, however, LLMs are prone to hallucinations. Here’s a deep dive into what they are, why they occur and the challenges of dealing with them.

      I don’t know why do I even bother. You are just going to ignore the sources and dismiss them as well.

        I’m sorry? You came to me.

        Here is how I see it:

        1. Someone compared AI to calculator/calendar
        2. I said you cannot compare that
        3. You asked why I even argue with the first person
        4. I said that I want a better discussion
        5. You said that I should stop dimissing other people’s arguments
        6. I tried to explain why I don’t think it is a valid argument to compare LLM to "calculator can do reliably. or a timer. or a calendar."
        7. You did not seem to agree with me on that from what I understand.
        8. And now we are here.

        Here’s a source to a study

        I don’t have the time to read the articles now so I will have to do it later, but hallucinations can definitively be a problem. Asking for code is one such situation where an LLM can just make up functions that does not exist.
