it's not a bullshit machine because its output is bad, it's a bullshit machine because its output is literally 'bullshit' as in, output that is statistically likely but with no factual or reasoning basis. as the models have improved, their bullshit is more statistically likely to sound coherent (maybe even more likely to be 'accurate'), but no more factual and with no more reasoning.
However, when fed source material into the context they will lie less, right? So at this point is it not just a battle of the nines until it's called "good enough"?
I also wonder if I leave my secretary with a ream of papers and ask him for a summary how many will he actually read and understand vs skim and then bullshit? It seems like the capacity for frailty exists in both "species".
I watched the video and immediately tested it on my iphone. It's true?? About 50% of the time, typing "Thumb" resulted in "Thimb" or "Thjmb", while the visual feedback on the keyboard showed u being pressed instead!
Other comments here say Predictive Text is the culprit, but I already had that off. I also turned off Slide to Type. Same result.
There is less bias being able to have an AI measure who is being productive and who isn't. Getting signal from AI when measuring performance to know when to fire people will be a valuable signal.
I'm glad Tesla is pivoting to a product that can drop your bag of groceries in the worst case, instead of one that can slam you into a concrete divider at 75mph.
In general, any robot that has servos powerful enough to be any of use is surprisingly dangerous to be around. While it's much easier to apply various limiters, the raw power in those engines will always pose a significant level of risk if anything goes wrong. If you're hovering above a human who sits up suddenly, you might get your nose broken. If it's a robot instead, it will have the strength and mass to easily mutilate you in the same kind of accident.
The robot could leave the ironer standing on your clothes and walk away; it could leave your empty pan on the stove at max heating; it could take a nice hard grip of your throat for a few minutes.
This is the classic mistake all AI hypemen make by assuming code is an asset, like crops. Code is a liability and you must produce as little of it as possible to solve your problem.
As an "AI hypeman" I 100% agree that code is a liability, which is exactly why I relish being able to increasingly treat code as disposable or even unnecessary for projects that'd before require a multiple developers a huge amount of time to produce a mountain of code.
The table also seems like the kind of thing that Gemini seems to generate a lot. "Here's a table that communicates almost no information! One of the rows is constant for each item."
