Thank you for this sentence: it is hard to get across how often Gen-AI proponents are actually projecting perceived success onto LLMs while downplaying error.
- empath75 2y agoI mostly see the reverse.
- throw46365 2y agoYou mostly see people projecting perceived error onto LLMs? I don't think I've seen a single article about an AI getting things wrong, recently, where there was a nuanced notion about whether it was actually wrong. I don't think we're anywhere close to "nuanced mistakes are the main problem" yet.
- empath75 2y agoI mostly see people ignoring successes and playing up every error.
- throw46365 2y agoBut the errors are fundamental, and the successes actually subjective as a result. That is, it appears to get things right, really a lot, but the conclusions people draw about why it gets things right are undermined by the nature of the errors. Like, it must have a world model, it must understand the meaning of... etc.; the nature of the errors they are downplaying fundamentally undermines the certainty of these projections.
