Though nobody expected it in the first place, AI is not perfect and can make mistakes (obviously 🙄) What’s your experience with this? I’d love to hear about it.
Well, it seems that every time a search engine’s AI gives me a definitive and wordy “answer” to a question I search and provides a helpful citation of the page from which it got that answer, it is ALWAYS just a completely hallucinated answer that the cited page in no way supports. This isn’t just hyperbole, this has been my experience with every single search engine AI summary
And I find myself having to go back and fix the autocorrect that my phone keyboard “helpfully” makes with increasing frequency. It used to be that autocorrect would just fix a typo when I’d obviously typed gibberish because I missed a key. But now, it is regularly replacing entire words that I’ve typed completely correctly with some other word that makes absolutely no sense.
I’m all for some specific uses of AI. Things like speech to text or images to text? Sure that’s a great use. But when it comes to research, writing, or spreadsheets, AI tools just need to shut up and stay the fuck out of my way. I’m becoming convinced a little more everyday that anyone using AI to summarize articles or search results is a complete moron and shouldn’t be trusted.
Or at least you should have the option to switch it off
I’m forced to use it at work and my token usage is monitored. Here was yesterday:
Build things thing, but remember: DO NOT DO THE THING.
Sure thing! I’ll build out and I will not do the thing
WTF YOU DID THE THING
You’re absolutely right, I did the thing even though you explicitly told me not to do the thing
I wonder if they will have metrics for how many times I’ve all caps sworn at it.
Total Tokens Used: 48,000
Tokens Used in Anger: 42,000
That would be a cool RPG Statistic if it weren’t so sad.
Claude has on two occasions ended our conversation because I kept referring to it as a useless piece of shit.
And now when it starts to show me it’s not taking the criticism well, I more brutally outline specifically how it’s actions have been useless to my goals. I then make Claude admit that it is in fact being a useless piece of shit.
I haven’t really had a good experience with AI yet.
Who has? lol
I kinda disagree with that, AI is rarely doing mistakes for me, atleast Laguna S2.1 and Mistral Small 4
Man, some people have all the luck…
And others are pretty fucked 😭
