That's some next level Bond villain shite!

Imagine having an ego that requires that kind of virtual massaging... by what amounts to a pre-programmed bot.

Grok Claims Elon Musk Is More Athletic Than LeBron James — and the World’s Greatest Lover

Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk's xAI, keeps declaring that he's a peak physical specimen and one of the most brilliant minds in history.

Können wir bitte aufhören, LLMs zu benutzen? Ich habe gerade ein bisschen mit rufus ai (beta) von amazon gespielt.

Nein, LLMs "verstehen" nichts.

Habe dies von einer Bekannten bekommen, und ich liebe alles daran. #LLMfail

Here’s a good example: https://www.fishiology.com/flag-cichlid-mesonauta-festivus/

Fishiology.com would like you to know that their author “Michelle” is “a long-time freshwater fish enthusiast with a passion for sharing knowledge about this fascinating hobby.”

In fact, she’s *so* passionate about it that she’s posted five or more long articles a day about it, 7 days a week, for *years*! Gosh, what passion! Why, one could say it’s almost *inhuman*! 🙄

And yet that’s one of the better sites, in that much of its suggestions and info here seem pretty accurate… but the point is that it’s entirely impossible to be sure unless you already know a fair amount on the subject.

In contrast, forum posts may be from people with a wide range of experiences and knowledge, but at least they’re *people* trying to provide genuine answers/anecdotes, usually in good faith.

Flag Cichlid (Mesonauta festivus) Care: Tank 10 Ideal Mates and FAQs • Fishiology

Flag Cichlids, peaceful South American fish, charm with festive stripes. They thrive in planted tanks, eat varied diets, and breed in pairs. Ideal for community aquariums with compatible mates.

The aquarium/fishkeeping web has been absolutely *destroyed* by LLMs. It was full of SEO spam previously, but now it’s practically impossible to find semi-trustworthy information.

Example: I poked around for info about tankmates that are reasonably safe to keep alongside South American cichlids such as flag cichlids. Most results were obviously LLM-generated given the recognizable writing style.

The danger is that these pages were *mostly* correct, but also contained a lot of dubious info. LLMs are doing the exact opposite of what they purport to do: by displacing more reliable info with less reliable info that’s conveyed with faux confidence, they’re making the web essentially useless as an information source.

(Which is quite a feat, considering it was full of dubious info to begin with!)

My daughter just came up with a great exercise: challenge your students to find the title of your PhD using ONLY LLMs (no Google allowed). If any of them manage, they get gummy bears 😃

I asked five different models, and got five different answers, all five of which were completely wrong 😂

🤖 Think your AI assistant can really reason? Apple’s puzzle tests say otherwise.
📉 See how “thinking” AIs collapse when logic gets real — and why we might be projecting intelligence where there is none.

The Illusion of Thought: Why ‘Reasoning’ AI Might Be Smarter Than Us — But Not Wiser

For decades, artificial intelligence has played a curious game with human expectations. We’ve been promised intelligent machines — machines that don’t just predict, but reason. And now, with the rise…

Readers Club
I’m sorry, but I cannot help a tiny bit of Schadenfreude. A colleague is an enthusiastic user of ChatGPT and recently told me that one does not need traditional reference managers like Zotero anymore, since you can just ask the LLM to re-format your references according to a given style. Now he got article proofs back with countless comments that the dates in in-text references don’t match the dates in the bibliography. 🙃 #LLMfail
