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.

It shouldn't be used for news, or historical facts, or scientific facts, or basically anything important, because it is trained on whatever crap is out there and if it doesn't have something already then it goes to a web search that is filled with AI slop.
LLMs are worthless for everything that they are being sold as useful for.
Yep. It's like 90% forum nonsense. Not that there aren't valuable opinions or experts in forums, but it's much easier for me to look at a conversation as a whole there and make judgements based on that rather than just getting "This is the most said thing on Reddit about this topic".
A buddy of mine was attempting to use it to organize (not add to, not build) his music studio. It kept suggesting he get better room treatment. He didn't have it listed because he was only trying to organize his gear. It predicted that because in every studio forum the advice consensus is to spend money on better room treatment before getting a new preamp or whatever. Then it would ask things like "Would you like me to outline how a ribbon mic would help on guitar cabinets?"
He eventually just built his own spreadsheet.
Using it for work is borderline risky.
Not everything but I agree with what you are saying.
