Right? I know more shit than some people on some topics…and less shit than other people on other topics.

Expertise might be what they were going for…but they can’t say that because AI can’t have expertise on anything.

    Expertise is about knowing what you don't know, just as much about what you know. The terms like "PhD level intelligence" are meant to mislead people. LLMs cannot understand simply because they are just statistical parrots. Only fools blindly trust output of LLMs.

    There’s a lot of a disagreement to be had here…but AI is a topic where we all pretty much seem to agree.

    I’ve experimented with AI (so-called chatbots) and the best that can be said about it is it’s a tool…not even a good tool…for starting a project when you’re stuck. It’s absolutely unreliable for anything approaching a final project. I guess…it’s really great if you enjoy being pissed off that it can both mine valid obscure information, while at the same time lie to your face over and over…but then do a 180 on something that’s true or a lie just because you tell it to.

    The only value I got out of AI was it made me laugh out loud once…genuinely. I realized it had created this entire fake universe when it was supposed to be researching something real…and like a crazy person I was scolding it…when it was apologing it told me “I’m sorry…I understand that I’m a bit like a toaster that was advertised as a chef…but really all I do is try to burn your house down”. I thought it was hilarious and appropriate.

    This is a beautiful metaphor and I'm pissed that it came out of an LLM. Either this is a hilarious consequence of the word "toaster" often being followed by "burn your house", or someone else on the Internet came up with it and the LLM just regurgitated.
