@nixCraft One of my earliest experiences with AI was it insisting Burt Reynolds was in Star Wars, and that's when I realized we were being wayyy oversold on its utility.

Graham, when did you have this experience?

@nixCraft If you switch out ChatGPT in that dialog with a human being, this person is just an asshole.

So ChatGPT is in fact an asshole, nothing more, nothing less.

@gideonstar That's attributing agency to a multi-dimensional probability distribution. Doesn't really make sense.

@gideonstar @nixCraft a person would either be an asshole or ignorant, both qualities subject to change (however rarely). LLMs are made that way, and bigger models won't help it.

@nixCraft wasn't there case where chatgpt recommended a man to use sodium bromide instead of sodium chloride to eat and developed rare disease.

Man who asked ChatGPT about cutting out salt from his diet was hospitalized with hallucinations

A 60-year-old man spent three weeks being treated at a hospital after replacing table salt with sodium bromide following consultation with the popular artificial intelligence bot ChatGPT

@nixCraft I have finally arrived at the stage where I absolutely *want* such a bailout to happen because the US fully deserve the fallout from this idiocracy.

Preface: I'm not an AI apologist.

This hypothetical scenario does not support an argument about the reliability of AI, and the user is at fault for finding themselves in the emergency ward.

If you're pragmatic with the way you use AI, it's an incredibly powerful tool. It's a skill, though -- not magic. You do need to learn how to use it efficiently.

If you're using it to help you accomplish something which will have actual consequences, then it's on you to be careful.

@nixCraft I've stopped calling them "ai-copies" and just started calling them "sloppies".

And that's why only use AI to consult technical things and sometimes you need to verify that things.

@nixCraft To be fair, poisonous berries are edible. It’s just that you get poisoned if you eat them. It’s like asking “Can I take a bath with my pet toaster?"
