"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Probably the skepticism is around someone actually trusting the LLM this hard rather than the LLM doing it this badly. To that I will add that based on my experience with LLM enthusiasts, I believe that too.
I have talked to multiple people who recognize the hallucination problem, but think they have solved it because they are good "prompt engineers". They always include a sentence like "Do not hallucinate" and thinks that works.
The gaslighting from the LLM companies is really bad.
"Prompt engineering" is the astrology of the LLM world.
