AI has finally gone too far!

It’s all slop, one way or another.

That’s not fair to the South Americans nor Canadians!
- Comment on She's just defending her country 1 week ago:
Like an American, but not from South America, or from the Northern half of Northern America. United States only.

He’s used to spewing shit without any facial reaction. It’s literally his only skill. Unless you count bankruptcy as a skill.

I don’t think she’s a USian Republican, is she?

I was AI once. It was AWESOME!
I got better.

freaking ok

Turns out, if you can’t tell, then it’s not slop.

If it was, you wouldn’t need to ask.

Why, was yesterday eight and you feel like you’re losing your edge? 🤔
- Comment on For those who are super against to AI/LLM today. What was the catalyst how did you reach to this point? If you have the power to change our current situation what would you do. 3 weeks ago:
HereVorragend says we should ban video games and television because they’re not required to survive. Got it.

In this analogy, is fisting good, or bad? Or maybe it’s not an analogy…

That’s a new style to me. Classy. Keep up the good work!

Pics or it didn’t happen. And don’t use AI to make them, as it will steal all the creative works around you and then suck the solar system into a black hole before delivering a plagiarized slop photo it hallucinated using auto-complete, but is simultaneously also a pixel-perfect copy from its database of creative works it already stole.

This is much better than having a bit of a hot ear.

Only because of the cost after switching to usage-based pricing. Before it was an invaluable tool, now it’s an overpriced failure. Now it can fuck off and I’ll use a local model.

Ah, so you’re a lesbian who likes to kink shame. Bad combo, sister.

Wow, thanks! That link really uncooks my spaghetti.

Really? How can you tell they’re Catholic? 🤔 I don’t see why altar boys in the photo.

I want to believe, but I’ve never seen him do any fucking with his noodly appendage. Parmesan be upon him.

Is this a religious text?
- Comment on Amongus 5 weeks ago:
Who has your god been fucking? And why are they yours specifically? Do you have you share them with other believers? I’m looking for a deity to get in with at the ground floor, and if yours is fucking then they’re probably my kind of god!

You sound quite sure of yourself, but I believe you are mistaken. The state of the electrons does indeed matter when a program is executing.
What makes you think that we will never be able to predict the outcome of a brain it we had the same knowledge of it as we did of a comparable neural network? You’d have to be a dumbass if you think that the medium matters in knowability of a system. Whether biological or mechanical, every state is possible until it’s measured, and once it is, you can determine exactly how it will function for a short period of time. Complexity does not make something unknowable, only complex, and therefore difficult to know.
Unlike the position and state of subatomic particles in any system, including that of the host of an LLM, which are unknowable.

They can’t tell, which makes them irrationally hate it all the more.

That we can.
At the company where I’ve been the lead developer for fifteen years, sentiment is split down the middle - half think as I do, half think as you do. In (nearly) every instance where one of the opposing developers shows me nonsense, it’s been easy to identify the cause: a lazy prompt with insufficient context. Garbage in, garbage out.
Having seen the results of the US elections, I don’t think anyone should trust humans. Yet here we are.
As for temperature, yes, I’m aware of the parameter. The human equivalent would be genetic mutation, although we can’t alter ours on the fly.
Thank you for the civil discussion. Until next we butt heads in the threads 👋

I, of course, disagree. Humans on the whole are ignorant and the average person is insufferably ill-informed. You are proving to be the exception. In general however, people suck at answering questions on subjects in which they’re not experts.
I have read that study, but I believe it to be flawed and I’m not alone. Please read the counter argument that hallucination is a structural phenomenon of estimation itself.
This reframes hallucination as structural misalignment between loss minimization and human-acceptable outputs, and hence estimation errors induced by miscalibration.
In other words, it is a problem that can be solved.

Wikipedias definition:
Cognitive process in which the mind considers, creates, out manipulates ideas, representative, or information.
Yes, you are correct - that is exactly what LLM do.
You make it sound as if 99% of the time the output of an LLM is gibberish, and only 1% it is coherent, but in my personal experience it is the exact opposite ratio. However, I can’t account for your experiences, as I am very aware that both expectation and perception are the basis for reality, and yours are obviously tuned negatively. You see what you expect to see, and if others have drastically different experiences that is something you cannot fathom as you have only your own to draw from anecdotally.
An LLM certainly could passively form ideas, if it was allowed to passively execute and output it’s thoughts to a console. That is not typically how they are used, though, and have been trained to output one response for one input. The capability is there, though.
I trust AI far more than I do a random person. They have access to far more information, and are more likely to be correct about any particular question asked. If you need a specialist, a human will usually be superior to the AI if you seek one out, but the next best thing is an AI - not a random person.
If you’re going to claim that hallucinations are an inevitably, please cite your source. My sincere understanding is that hallucinations occur when an LLM lacks context, and rather than seeking it, it takes a shortcut by using a random value for the missing information. This is due to a combination of a limited context window, because of memory constraints, and performance considerations as the operators want faster responses over thorough, comprehensive thinking as it aligns with cost savings concerns from the business perspective.
The advent of MoE (Mixture of Experts) has cut down on hallucinations considerably, by reducing the footprint of the thinking model to only that which is relevant to the prompt, which frees up memory that can be allocated to context. Similar incremental improvements will inevitably make hallucinations a funny story from the past, which I believe is the inevitability.
If you have some mathematical formula that proves hallucinations are unsolvable, I’d be happy to read it and reflect upon it. However, I strongly suspect that any formula you produce is only relevant to the technology of LLMs as they operate today, and that such problems are indeed solvable, and in no way inevitable.
Your derisive pet names for the technology make it clear you’ve already made up your mind, though, so don’t feel obligated to continue to argue the case that no one will ever solve what you believe is unsolvable.

It most certainly does. Do you think that you know the position and state of all the electrons in a computer when a program is executing?
You need to learn the difference between, thinking and knowing.
