  • See, that’s your problem. You’re arguing, with me, about something that was said to you by someone else. Do you realize why I’m questioning your argumentative skills?

    I’m sorry? You came to me.

    Here is how I see it:

    1. Someone compared AI to calculator/calendar
    2. I said you cannot compare that
    3. You asked why I even argue with the first person
    4. I said that I want a better discussion
    5. You said that I should stop dimissing other people’s arguments
    6. I tried to explain why I don’t think it is a valid argument to compare LLM to “calculator can do reliably. or a timer. or a calendar.”
    7. You did not seem to agree with me on that from what I understand.
    8. And now we are here.

    Here’s a source to a study

    I don’t have the time to read the articles now so I will have to do it later, but hallucinations can definitively be a problem. Asking for code is one such situation where an LLM can just make up functions that does not exist.


  • No one ever said they were

    literally can’t do what a calculator can do reliably. or a timer. or a calendar.

    Edit to add: For the record, I am very interested in your arguments and would love to read the reports that has come to the conlusion that LLMs produce bad output. That’s news to me (or I should say, a good prompt producing bad output. And what is considered bad and why?). So if you have a link to a report or something similar, please share. But don’t claim that I am trying to construct a strawman when the THE VERY FIRST argument provided to me in this very comment chain was what I have talked about all along.

    Edit 2: Here is the personal attack, the other point I disagree with: https://lemmy.world/post/27126654/15901907




  • If you want to shit on OpenAI because you think they stink, that is fine. If you want to shit on their LLM because you think it sucks, that is also fine. But don’t say that the concept of LLM sucks because OpenAI and their product is bad or their marketing of said product. Say that LLM sucks because there is no regulation and companies are using this to hurt people. Say that OpenAIs LLM suck because they took from the people to create it without giving back. Don’t say that OpenAIs LLM cannot produce good output becuase they stole, because the output is good. Stealing is still wrong. Don’t say that someone else is worse at what they are doing because they used an LLM. Say that they are worse at what they are doing because (and if) they cannot do it without an LLM.

    It would be a nice discussion if you did not try to argue on bad faith. Of course I don’t want to compare something that is meant to kill with something that could if you really try. Should be ban ropes because you can strangle people with them? Of course not, that’s stupid and you know it.
