💣 What a huge surprise, said no one ever. 🙄
Still debating best alt name for #AI. Currently favoring Adaptive Insanity. Is there an official/specialized term for #medical #racism?
"....experts said some of the invented text — known in the industry as hallucinations — can include racial commentary, violent rhetoric and even imagined medical treatments."
Study finds LLMs can identify their own mistakes
It turns out that LLMs encode quite a bit of knowledge about the truthfulness of their answers, even when they give the wrong one.Ben Dickson (VentureBeat)
Huh
So Linus Torvalds said something along the lines of "claims what AI can do are 90% marketing and 10% reality"
Kinda cool to see a "tech legend" with a more grounded view on AI for once!

Alaska's education commissioner drafted a proposal banning students from using cellphones at school, citing multiple studies linking cellphone distractions to poor academic achievement. The state Board of Education voted to approve the ban.
Just one problem: most of the studies cited in the policy don't exist; they were hallucinated by bullshit-generator machines ("AI"). This crap is now guiding public policy!

False citations show Alaska education official relied on generative AI, raising broader questions • Alaska Beacon

Yet another reason LLM/AI is a terrible thing:

"GenAI is set to create nearly 1,000 times more e-waste (in data centres) than exists currently by 2030, unless the tech industry employs mitigating strategies."
"The study, which looks at the rate AI servers are being introduced to datacenters, claims that a realistic scenario indicates potential for rapid growth of e-waste from 2.6 kilotons each year in 2023 to between 400 kilotons and 2.5 million tons each year in 2030, when no waste reduction measures are considered."
"...equivalent to discarding 13.3 billion units of the iPhone 15 Pro"
GenAI's dirty secret: It's set to create a mountainous increase in e-waste

Researchers say AI transcription tool used in hospitals invents things no one ever said
Whisper is a popular transcription tool powered by artificial intelligence, but it has a major flaw. It makes things up that were never said. Whisper was created by OpenAI.GARANCE BURKE (AP News)
Did you know IBM helped Hitler carry out the Holocaust? Is it in any way surprising that we can’t do anything about Big Tech and toxic oligarchs like Elon Musk when even those who helped carry out one of the worst tragedies in human history remain unpunished? Should it come as a shock that the very same bastards are funding and pining for fascism today?

After we got used to scanners changing numbers in scans, we now have “#AI” change medical documentation. That seems even more stupid.

This really disgusts me, and it confounds me. What is he thinking?
Certainly a smart, well-informed writer like Thom Hartmann knows all the problems caused by so-called artificial intelligence. Asking AI to create artwork is a *huge* waste of valuable resources — water and energy — not to mention probable infringement on the rights of original image creators. Plus it feeds right into the hands of thieving capitalist mega-corporations, the kind that a liberal like Hartmann presumably opposes.
Using AI in this way is indefensible. It’s wrong, and it must be condemned.
I’ve stopped following Hartmann (@ThomHartmann) and I hope you will too.

Language evolves, and as with biology, the result varies for differing habitats. Since “#AI” that is based on #LLM is frozen in time by the corpus it was trained on, it only reproduces but never explores or invents. LLM are per definition conservative. (1/3)
Computer says die.
(Psst, it’s actually capitalism.)

Good god. If I contact a call centre, it's because I have a problem that's out of the ordinary. How will an AI agent (aka talking website) be useful in solving that?

Google is absolutely cooked as a web search engine, thanks to the current crop of LLM chatbot AI.
The scope of the harm it will do while slowly sinking into irrelevance is immeasurable, though.
