Edit: went back and found my friend that originated the quote from Facebook.
@jeffowski AI is just another tool to make users lazier
@dogpile @jeffowski it has enormous potential to democratize education through #onelaptoperchild and similar initiatives.
@nicholas_saunders @dogpile @jeffowski By teaching everyone things that aren't correct.
@ariaflame @dogpile @jeffowski I said potential, Aria. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
@nicholas_saunders @dogpile @jeffowski LLMs at the moment don't give accurate information. But sure, tell me that I can give up my job and give it over to machines which do not give accurate information.
@ariaflame @dogpile @jeffowski bit of a strawman there, isn't it? It's just a tool like any other. As you yourself said, it's not capable of thought. Writing some boilerplate? Great.
Not understanding the hate.
Because it's an advancement. Terribly inefficient and overblown, but with great potential and some present utility.
@nicholas_saunders @dogpile @jeffowski So it's good at doing bad writing? How is that useful?
@ariaflame @dogpile @jeffowski
It's rather remarkable, but it's also being used to write code. It collates data well, and acts as a frontend for Wikipedia.
It has utility. Of course it's hyped up. And?
@nicholas_saunders @dogpile @jeffowski From what I've heard not great code. What data does it collate?
@ariaflame @nicholas_saunders @dogpile @jeffowski
The code is good enough - and it's very good at summarizing bad documentation.
It doesn't need to be perfect to be useful else humans would also be useless.
@atzanteol @nicholas_saunders @dogpile @jeffowski So the summary would also be bad, because GIGO.
@ariaflame @nicholas_saunders @dogpile @jeffowski
No... "Bad documentation" isn't wrong, it's difficult to understand - or incomplete. It's then talked about on forums all over the internet.
LLMs can combine all that together and tell you how to use that function you're looking at in the docs without needing to post in a forum, being given wrong advice by 4 different people, being told to re-do everything by that one guy who hates everything, etc. You just get an answer that's "probably helpful" really quickly. And if it's not then you fall back on the standard forums and all the shit you deal with there.
@atzanteol @ariaflame @nicholas_saunders @dogpile — there’s no validation on whether it is kicking out bad information until you try it…
Good luck with that.
@jeffowski @atzanteol @ariaflame @dogpile please tell me that was generated with AI...
