A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

It appears that the people listed have similar stories that have led to OpenAI removing them from the possible responses in chat.
This is proof that current LLM tech is a dead end. If this is their solution, instead of correcting the misinformation, then they have a deeply deeply flawed system.
Misinformation is a feature, not a bug. They never fixed AI from hallucinating or being so damn confident in its answers.
They just tell you that it might hallucinate and to check its answers.
"let us Google it for you... But then you Google our results to make sure they're accurate"
Pretty much. Aren’t LLMs just massive probability tables for the most appropriate next token?
Well yeah but that's not the problem. You can evidently encode sophisticated models and logic in those billions of parameters. It's just that determining and modifying what has been encoded is impossible.
It also means the system is completely broken for anyone who happens to share a name with who every is on the ban list. It isn't like there is only one Brian Hood walking around.
Good thing for OpenAI that the name "Brian Hood" is made of two super rare names and there's no chance anyone else in the world might have that name.
