“Factual accuracy in large language models remains an area of active research”

In a normal world, with normal people, you'd fall about laughing if you read the above and heard that this is the Great AI everyone is gushing about. But AI is a grift, a con, a giant scam, so it doesn't play by normal rules. It plays by the rules of the grifter and the tech magician.

Stackoverflow bans AI

"Because the average rate of getting correct answers from ChatGPT and other generative AI technologies is too low, the posting of answers created by ChatGPT and other generative AI technologies is substantially harmful to the site and to users who are asking questions and looking for correct answers."

AI's on magic mushrooms

“They had mushroom structures that don’t quite make sense,. They were the mycological equivalent of a picture of a hot blonde with six fingers and too many teeth. They aren’t even giving you descriptions of real mushrooms. They’re giving you something completely made up.”

The response from OpenAI?

LLM's must have been trained on CEO's who believe their own BS.

@roger_booth @gerrymcgovern They do have that reek of overconfident white dudebro about their pronouncements, don't they?

“Truth in AI models remains an area of active research,” OpenAI has stated. "We see our job as being a provider of useful information, though not necessarily accurate information. We're sorry that we lie about people. However, we cannot say where those lies originated. Nor can we fix them. And we are, quite honestly, surprised that we are being asked to do what is essentially and impossible task for AI: to deliver accurate, truthful information."

@gerrymcgovern ...it's not black vs white, i use AI everyday for non-critical tasks, fully aware of it's limitations. Very useful and time-saving. We should just learn what to use those tools for and what their limitations are.

@ErikJonker @gerrymcgovern Literally any tool can be used for good and for evil. The question is what the risks are vs. the benefits, as well as the chances for each.

Literally everything about hallucinating digital parrots (the only way I'm calling it "AI" is if that stands for "Always Inaccurate") screams high risk at high odds vs. low benefit. Any sane society would be putting tight controls over it.

The USA is not putting tight controls over it.

I leave the conclusion as an exercise.
