Like every tool, it has its uses...but they are not those being advertised. LLMs are great for things where mistakes don't detract from the result (or even add to it) like brainstorming, art, music, disinformation...all that good stuff.

That's what I think too. AI is mainly useful for things that don't have right or wrong answers.

Although this incorrect answers is obvious, what about all the times where an incorrect answer from AI is not obvious?

@Gsus4 @btaf45 That's true for AI that has been trained for the general public to provide an answer for any provided question meaning they are forced to respond to a prompt even though they are wrong and maybe even know they are wrong. They just don't know the answer and can't say that because it's commercially bad.

I do believe that for scientific research AI models are much more precise because they have been trained with the right datasets and are tasked with answering specific questions.

So, AI is suited to be a CEO or in marketing...

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@jj4211 For sure. I'd even day it is more suited to be a CEO than it is to do specialised work.

Yeah that's why it would be very nice if they would stop integrating it into fucking search engines.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

They wanna fucking integrate it in everything, dumbfucks. This is why meritocracy is dead, the people with the means to determine where we go as a society are "number go up" people.

Ah, but mistakes could detract from disinformation if it's mistakenly correct!

brainstorming

Sure thing, but have to remember to include "no bad ideas" in the prompt for best results.

that's the point of brainstorming, all ideas are allowed, filter later.
