The best way I can relate current LLM’s is the early days of the microprocessor.

i promise we did it! we made iphone 2! this is just like iphone 2! of course it doesn't work yet but it will work eventually! we made iphone 2 please believe us!!

he's already banned but i love how every time this argument comes up there's absolutely no substance to the metaphor. "ai is like the internet/microprocessors/the industrial revolution/the Renaissance", but there's no connective tissue or actual relation between the things being compared, just some hand-waving around the general idea of progress and pointing to other popular/revolutionary things and going "see! it's just like that!"

The majority of hallucinations are due to user input errors that are not accounted for in the model tokenizer and loader code. This is just standard code errors. Processing every possible spelling, punctuation, and grammar error is a difficult task.

"i'm sorry, but you used the wrong form of 'their' in your prompt, that's why it inexplicably included half a review of Click in your meeting summary."

AI is like a mirror of yourself upon the dataset. It can only reflect what is present in the dataset and only in a simulacrum of yourself through the prompts you generate. It will show you what you want to see. It is unrivaled access to information if you have the character to find yourself and what you are looking for in that reflection.

s-tier. no notes. does lemmy have user flairs? because if so i'm calling dibs

my pet conspiracy theory is that the two streamers had installed cheats at one point in the past and compromised their systems that way. but i have no evidence to base that on, just seems more plausible to me than "a hacker discovered an RCE in EAC/Apex and used it during a tournament to install game cheats on two people and [appear to] do nothing else"
