"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.

What do you think about these;

Translation
Grammar
Text editing
Categorization
Summarization
OCR

LLMs can’t perform any of those functions, and the output from tools infected with them and claim to, can intrinsically only ever be imprecise, and should never be trusted.

Translation isn't as easy as easy as just take the word and replace with another word from different language with same definition. I mean yes a technical document or something similar can be translated word for word. But, Jokes, songs and a lot more things differ from culture to culture. Sometimes author chooses a specific word in a certain language based on certain culture which can be interpreted in multiple ways to reveal hidden meaning for readers.

And sometimes to convey the same emotion to a reader from different language and culture we need to change the text heavily.

OCR isn’t a large language model. That’s why sometimes with poor quality scans or damaged text you get garbled nonsense from it. It’s not determining the statistically most likely next word, it’s matching input to possible individual characters.

I mean using LLMs for OCR like (Gemini 3 Flash or Kimi K2.5)

Not OP. I wouldn't call myself tech savvy but, suggesting categorization of files on my computer sounds kinda nice. I just can't trust these clowns to keep all my data local.
