Fuck AI

My own advise for people starting to use AI is to use it for things you know very well. Using it for things you do not know well, will always be problematic.

AIs aren't trained to produce correct answers, but seemingly correct answers

I prefer to say “algorithmically common” instead of “seemingly correct” but otherwise agree with you.

Thankfully, AI is bad at maths for exactly this reason. You don't have to be an expert on a very specific topic to be able to verify a proof and - spoiler alert - most of the proofs ChatGPT 5 has given me are plain incorrect, despite OpenSlop's claims that it is vastly superior to previous models.

I use it to summarize stuff sometimes, and I honestly spend almost as much time checking it's accurate than I would if I had just read and summarized.

It is useful for 'What does this contain?' so I can see if I need to read something. Or rewording something I have made a pig's ear out of.

I wouldn't trust it for anything important.

The most important thing to do if you do use AI is to not ask leading questions. Keep them simple and direct
