I find it interesting that folks can be both extremely concerned about the inaccuracies of AI tools and totally comfortable making up fictional or hyperbolic arguments about AI and post them on Social Media.
I understand that there are lots of legitimate concerns and criticisms of AI and AI industry. But, I am disillusioned at much of the nonsense that is posted here.
I am reminded that everyone should be as skeptical of "facts" they get from AI as the should be of the "facts" they get from humans, especially those on social media.
It seems that the technology of human expression is not yet mature and prone to hallucinating.
In my opinion, both AI and humans are generally unreliable sources of information. Yet, with a mix of critical thinking skills and common sense, I find that both can be extremely useful and valuable resources.
@stpaultim I'm trying to avoid a larger discussion here, but...
Before we could talk about the usefulness of AI to gather information, we'd have to clearly define "information".
LLM is indeed a fascinating concept and has, for sure, its valid use-cases. But with all the current hype and weird misconceptions, it's almost impossible to discuss actual use-cases without slipping into a weird flame war.
Let's talk about it again, as soon as the buzzword AI vanishes from the bullshit bingo cards. 😆
I agree with everything you just said. I am not really looking for a conversation on this topic as much as venting about some of the nonsense I read everyday on this topic.
You are correct that this phenomenon extends to most other topics on social media. But, an AI post was what triggered me yesterday and venting seems like the popular thing to do here.
Sometimes I indulge the urge to join in and vent in my own way. Thanks for being kind in your response! 😄
