CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google’s new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)...

In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)

If you need these kind of tips, on behalf of the gene pool, please don’t procreate, and eat as much glue as you can.

I honestly don’t care who they play for, as long as it’s not at the cost of of any regular scheduled gig.

Stopthatgirl7 and inflammatory headlines, name a more iconic duo.

It also works great for book or movie recommendations, and I think a lot of gpu resources are spent on text roleplay.

Or you could, you know, ask it if gasoline is useful for food recipes and then make a clickbait article about how useless LLMs are.

Yeah, I saw. But when I’m stuck on a programming issue, I have a couple of options:

  • ask an LLM that I can explain the issue to, correct my prompt a couple of times when it’s getting things wrong, and then press retry a couple of times to get something useful.
  • ask online and wait. Hoping that some day, somebody will come along that has the knowledge and the time to answer.

Sure, LLMs may not be perfect, but not having them as an option is worse, and way slower.

In my experience - even when the code it generates is wrong, it will still send you in the right direction concerning the approach. And if it keeps spewing out nonsense, that’s usually an indication that what you want is not possible.

That’s what I meant by saying you shouldn’t use it to replace programmers, but to complement them. You should still have code reviews, but if it can pick up issues before it gets to that stage, it will save time for all involved.

admin,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

I agree it’s being overused, just for the sake of it. On the other hand, I think right now we’re in the discovery phase - we’ll find out out pretty soon what it’s good at, and what it isn’t, and correct for that. The things that it IS good at will all benefit from it.

Articles like these, cherry picked examples where it gives terribly wrong answers, are great for entertainment, and as a reminder that generated content should not be relied on without critical thinking. But it’s not the whole picture, and should not be used to write off the technology itself.

(as a side note, I do have issues with how training data is gathered without consent of its creators, but that’s a separate concern from its application)

They answered this further down - they never tried it themselves.

It should not be used to replace programmers. But it can be very useful when used by programmers who know what they’re doing. (“do you see any flaws in this code?” / “what could be useful approaches to tackle X, given constraints A, B and C?”). At worst, it can be used as rubber duck debugging that sometimes gives useful advice or when no coworker is available.

@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

I’m more surprised they hadn’t yet, to be honest.

Over here regular banks have been doing that for years 😥

admin,

I’m no federation expert, but I think if you could convince your own instance admin, or the one hosting this community (lemmy.world), to do so, you’d be good. But that would potentially affect a lot more users than just the ones in this community, so they might take some effort.

Also, I’m not aware of any tools that could automate this for you.

admin,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

For that matter - I’m okay with filtering out people who think it’s too much effort. Quality over quantity.

admin,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

We should rather stop allowing sign ups without an application. The captchas are not good enough.

That’s near impossible to enforce, due to the federated nature. Server admins could whitelist which instances they trust, but I don’t think that’ll do much good from a community point of view.

Perhaps a sticky to find better moderator/timezone coverage could help. (And for that matter, I wouldn’t mind stricter moderation on post relevance - not all news about tech companies or events that just happen to take place online is tech news, imho)

It’s not the script writer or the producer that’s complaining though. I think it’s more reasonable for them to want compensation.

admin, (edited )
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

Not anything literally from the script, but I assume that’s where the concept of a voice controlled AI assistant came from - whoever holds the rights to that in relation to the title “Her”. So if it’s based on a novel or story, clearly the writer of that.

admin,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

I’m aware of that, but we seem to get get distracted from the main point. In the case of OpenAI versus “Her” (i.e. Them launching a similar product, and referencing the film), I think it’s the owners of the Her IP that should have a right to complain. Not an actress that was in it, and whose voice is similar to it. According to the article, there were 2 well-known actresses whose vice matched even better. Should they take action as well?

All of this is under the assumption that they didn’t actual train on her voice - which does seem likely.

Estonia | The Digital State (youtu.be)

Most states rely on paper bureaucracy to ensure that the state can function and provide services. Paper bureaucracy has been part and parcel of how we maintain states and corporations since the Chinese invented the first paper bureaucracy systems of management 3000 years ago. But as you all probably know, bureaucracy kinda...

Regarding electronic voting, you can either have reliable and secure, or anonymous, but not both. Sounds like Estonia went for option 1.

For over 15 years, I oversaw the technical aspect of the biggest weblog in my country. I took great professional pride in making sure that every time we migrated to a new cms, links would keep on working, even when the external pages they linked to were since long dead.

A couple of years ago I left. Last year they changed cms once more. Now all the links are dead, and can best be found through through archive. The content was ported to the new cms, but the links weren’t. So even though the content is in the database, it’s just inaccessible by its old url.

Such a shame.

admin,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

For me it’s absolutely the opposite. But hey, at least now we both have options.

BTW, since you watched the video might I ask you to take the time to check the paragraph above, and see if you spot any important details missing that are in the video?

admin,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

Since you really should be creating a backup of the data before doing such a conversion in the first place, the best (not necessarily the fastest, but definitely the safest) way would be to copy the data to another medium, and copy it back when the space has been formatted.

@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

Huh? The argument was about open source LLMs being unethical, but your video is about Altman?

Where? I do see people obsessing over Elon in the comments, but they’re not his fanboys.

Flashback to 2001 when someone with zero programming skills created a virus that shut down countless mailservers al over the world:

De Wit created Anna Kournikova in a matter of hours using a simple online Visual Basic Worm Generator program written by an Argentinian programmer called [K]Alamar. “The young man had downloaded a program on Sunday, February 11, from the Internet and later the same day, around 3:00 p.m., set the virus loose in a newsgroup.”
