Latest experiment in #ArtificialIncompetence:

I asked my go-to LLM to review the code it had produced. It rejected its own code. It specifically rejected a line for which I had asked some clarification and where it had convinced me that its approach was OK. It also rejected it for missing pieces of code that I had explicitly prompted it to skip. It hallucinated some bugs that didn't exist, got some explanations wrong... and missed all the crashes that it had originally created.

Incompetent.

This morning:
Me: Hey Siri
Siri: Hmm?
Me: Your performance has been unacceptable recently
Siri: Do you think it’s serious? I can call emergency services.

Coining the term "artificial incompetence" to describe both #AI itself, and the many use cases where people and corporations have tried to apply it, only for it to fail horrendously or dangerously. #ArtificialIncompetence #artificialintelligence

Important takeaway:
"Now seems like a good time to remind writers and readers alike: If there’s an article on the internet you’d like to see in the future, it’s probably wise to make a PDF. At this rate, the next time you go to look it up, you might find only robotic drivel."

Wen you made it past the stupid #chatbot in Big A's Business Support Chat but the „human“ support agent is so incompetent that you can't tell computer and human apart. #ArtificialIncompetence
