Comment on Bill Gates: People saying AI will create more jobs don’t understand what’s coming

  Here’s a very common response to anyone that suggests they had a bad time with LLMs. You just aren’t using the right model. You didn’t ask the right questions. You didn’t give enough context in your prompt.

  It’s not the fault of this infallible AI, it’s PEBKAC.

  Nonsense.

    Forgot to tell it ‘make no mistakes’.

    I mean yeah, it’s not magic, it’s a tool and it does take some skill / know how to use them correctly, and the people making those comments could be trying to teach those skills.

    Like if someone said they had a bad time with Linux you’ll get similar questions and suggestions about their setup.

      I’ll concede that using LLMs in a useful way may take some skill. However, that’s not how these things are presented to everyone and it doesn’t reflect the reality of how the majority of people use them.

    Prompting an AI is very much a garbage in, garbage out type thing. Just like with any tool, you need to know how to use it properly to get the results you want.

    Hell, some of the things I’ve seen people ask AI would confuse a human too.

    Uh… I was just curious because sometimes it’s fun to see how the LLMs screw up. e.g. rocks on pizza.

    It’s not the lack of evidence presented, it’s the person that asked the question that’s the problem.

      No you weren’t. You literally suggested I was using a “dollar store’s customer service AI to try to help [me] with [my] coding homework.”

        Using a dollar store’s AI to help with coding homework would be hilarious! Just like rocks on pizza.

        You seem to be placing me in the wrong bucket. I use AI professionally, yes, but it also pisses me off pretty regularly. I’m not some “AI Bro” or whatever TF you’re thinking. Just some guy who finds AI mistakes to be funny and I want to reproduce them.
