Yes, and at some point this high-ranking person is fed up with this now-inefficient use of time and money enough that they will just sort this out using an LLM tuned to handle this situation better if not today then tomorrow.
Maybe they will pay someone to coach them for a week how to “talk” to LLM, but other than that the one who gets paid in the end is OAI/MS.
- mejutoco 4y agoImagine how angry this hypothetical person will be when they get the same problem from the LLM, after all those extra steps.
- anileated 4y agoImagine an LLM tuned to eliminate misunderstanding and ask why at least 5 levels deep… Without fearing to irritate the boss or to create an impression of being not smart, both possibly harmful for human career but irrelevant to unthinking software tool.
- disgruntledphd2 4y agoI too like science fiction. People keep acting like it will be easy to bolt on things like eliminate misunderstandings onto LLMs and quite frankly I would be incredibly surprised if that happens any time soon.
- anileated 4y agoEliminating misunderstanding comes down to willingness to ask more questions if you have low confidence. The main reason this doesn’t happen is subordinates afraid to look stupid or lose jobs. None are concerns to an unthinking machine.
