    This feels like a “WATER IS WET!” type situation with the exception that a large part of the population would end up being shocked and appalled by the idea of water being wet.

      You can tell if someone will be shocked by this news or not by whether they unironically call it AI or whether they call it an LLM. It’s not a fool proof method, but it siffs out the masses.

        I just wish LLM felt better to say than AI. Like AI just rolls off the tongue but LLM feels like a mouthful. That doesn’t help :(

      I’m not surprised by those results at all but I think it’s a very good thing to see some actual research and numbers.

    I’m not surprised. And I heavily recommend people to ask questions about a topic that they reliably know to those assistants; they’ll notice how much crap the bots output. Now consider that the bot is also bullshitting about the things that you don’t know.
