Comment on OK. I'm at wit's end attempting to convince Google's LLM to pronounce an English name correctly.
AbelianGrape@beehaw.org 1 day agoI believe you didn’t intend to, but you did claim it, twice. Hence why the commenter I initially replied to (in which I guessed you meant the common _nick_name) was confused.
Then you replied to me saying “it’s literally from the bible [so it’s a common name]” implying that you disagreed with me about it being a nickname and you did really mean it as a given name.
Hopefully that explains the confusion.

To me, this simply is further evidence that LLMs aren’t ready for primetime, as though this were not already established.

What does any of this have to do with LLMs?
I mean I agree with the conclusion but the confused people here are… people. I think if you ask an LLM about the “common name Rach,” it’ll also tell you that you probably mean Rachel.

Ironically, the context provided to the LLM is I accidentally shortened her name in the newsroom as her direct report. So, yes, we are talking about a Rachel, but that was very clear in the prompt.
