"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

You're looking at it wrong. They're going to use AI. Instead show them how often it's wrong. Find examples of it giving bad or incorrect responses. Get them involved. Ask them to try to trick it into lying or giving bad answers. Then kick it up a notch. Poison the data well. A few months back a reporter was able to convince AI that he was a hotdog eating champion by putting the right posts in the right places. Have them do a project where they invent a fake topic, seed it across the internet and watch how quickly AI gobbles it up. You'll teach them how AI actually works by data harvesting and not to blindly trust it. How to check sources and verify content.
I treat AI like it's a 10 year old research assistant that's overly confident and occasionally wrong.
You have to check the citations, review the code, etc. and constantly give it rules.
Even then it's a child that will disregard your rules and try to gas light you.
I gave Gemini a rule about ampersands, and it's never gotten it right.
