lol, "if only someone had warned us about this sort of thing?!"

@agasramirez oh wow, I've heard talk of this attitude but to actually see it in action!

@Lazarou
I wish they'd stop calling it "#AI".

It isn't. Not even close. I went to college to study #AI decades ago.

What they are calling "AI" today is nothing more than "deep database scrubbing".

It *assumes* an answer is correct based simply on the number of results it finds supporting that conclusion.

#GIGO: Garbage In; Garbage Out.

@Lazarou I don't like that google keeps using AI to answer my questions, but I have not bothered to look elsewhere. BUT I run several aquariums since covid and one suddenly turned cloudy and green so I asked and was told, "The Water is too Fat"

oh well that solves everything so I get it. That is frightening.

@MugsysRapSheet @Lazarou AI has always been a marketing term. What was "machine learning" back when you were probably studying bares little resemblance to Large Language models, but it all get lumped in the same bucket.

Even when criticizing it, we're encouraged to use terms like "hallucinations" that anthropomorphise the systems, instead of using more correct terms like "statistical error".

@Lazarou I'm sorry but this is hilarious

@agasramirez @Lazarou To be fair this argument can be valid to some extent.

Though I feel most of "AI" is overhyped and will just end up locking down users/companies into big tech providing inference for them...

@Lazarou God I hope this post is true

@Lazarou “We ran into some trouble setting up an office in West Fobispa. Turned out there was no such place. The whole state of Warmington was a hallucination. That was half of our profits the last fiscal year!”

@su_liam such incredible faith they put into a machine that they wouldn't put into another human being

@Lazarou

I know this probably makes me a terrible person but I honestly can't _wait_ for the lawsuits.

Added bonus laughs if they use AI to write their legal briefs.
