A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Seriously, TRY and get an AI chat to give an answer without making stuff up. It is impossible. You can tell it "you made that data up, do not do that" ... and it will apologize and say you were right, then make up more dumb shit.
I'll get hate for this but in most tasks people use them for they are pretty dang accurate. I'm talking about frontier models fyi
Google Gemini gives me solid results, but I stick to strictly factual questions, nothing ambiguous. Got a couple of responses I thought were wrong, turns out I was wrong.
I got a Firefox plugin to block Gemini results because whenever I look up something for my medical studies, it runs a really high chance of spitting out garbage or outright lies when I really just wanted the google result for the NIH StatPearls article on the thing.
As a medical professional, generative AI and search adjuncts like Gemini only make my job harder.
