My favorite quote about LLMs is that they are extremely effective for people who already are domain experts on the topic

The UX fail of the century is for every one of these companies to not append “teach me how I would verify this is true?” to every single prompt.

The skill it takes to use the tech is higher than the avg user is going to invest. Every single maker of chatbots has ignored this from day one.

@nomenloony That's the cost of progress This is the reason why I don't use any LLM tools (except for the ones that do what they were made to do – natural language translation, and I always check the output).

@nomenloony yep, that’ll kill you. and probably blow every fuse within a 30 mile radius

@BigD @nomenloony it is really just highly advanced autocomplete. It’s not that the data it’s trained in is right or wrong. It’s that the sequence of words is statistically likely to follow the input you provided. That’s it. It’s just vector math determining likely next words in a sequence

@nomenloony Fucking hell!

@nomenloony All they missed was putting a 31 amp fuse in it

@knowprose @drahardja @skyfire747 @nomenloony Feeling lazy? Use AI.

@skyfire747
It most likely takes hundreds of thousands of people somewhere in India whose full-time job it is to manually curate and correct the output of only one of the major #ai models.

And as ai doesn't understand that people warn others about AI errors, AI thinks it is right..

When you check dossiers over time, you will find that errors get much more attention -as they have to be corrected-. Just skimming the subjects can lead to wrong (opposite) conclusions.

@nomenloony

Does every UK plug have it's own fuse ?

A question from the colonies.

PS - if you are going to do your owe electrical work of any kind use a certified guide to the electrical code not AI or Joe Blow's YouTube video.

What could possibly go wrong?

@nomenloony Remembering that Tumblr bit with that banger of a line:

"But you don't care for power safety, do ya?"

@dacig @drahardja @skyfire747 @nomenloony feeling lazier? Get another ai to prompt the ai.

@drahardja @skyfire747 @nomenloony that's the problem with content in general, unless using actual experts, which Google pushes down the page because that makes it more lucrative for them, showing more ads.

@nomenloony wdym the fuse won’t ground the circuit safely???? 🤪

@eliasp @drahardja @skyfire747 @nomenloony
But in this case it doesn't even achieve the statistically most probable answer (which is surely on gazillions of “training images”), so EPIC FAIL!

@nomenloony What's that smoke?

@nomenloony i hadn't zoomed in or read the post or alt text and am a *very* unsophisticated user when it comes to anything electrical, and at first glance i thought the correct chart was on the left and the AI-generated pic was on the right

once i read the text body and inferred that the thing labelled so confidently "correctly wired" must be the slop, then read the alt text and confirmed it was so, everything made so much more sense

AI infographics are such an awful case of "we can lie faster than you can fact-check"
