Many people, especially on this site, really want LLMs to be everything the hype train says and more. Some have literally staked their future on it so they get defensive when people bring up that maybe LLMs aren’t a replacement for human cognition.
The number of times I’ve heard “but did you try model X” or “humans hallucinate too” or “but LLMs don’t get sleep or get sick” is hilarious.
- indoordin0saur 2y agoYes. Seems like some users here experience true despair when you suggest that the LLM approach might have a hard limit that means LLMs will be useful but never revolutionary.
- viking123 2y agoThe comment that humans are sometimes wrong too is absolutely ridiculous and I always think about the self-driving car incident in china where the car mistook an advertisement of a car above the road as a real car and hit the breaks causing a chain crash. Even the shittiest driver would never do that.
- Terr_ 2y agoI like to bring up a certain thought-experiment, where some hypothetical self-driving cars (A) are safe enough to halve the number of the accidents/injuries/deaths compared to human drivers, but (B) almost all of the bad events are from their AI unpredictably deciding to to chase-and-murder pedestrians. ... Would we consider that a good improvement to roll out? Is the only factor short-term utilitarianism? Sometimes our ability to predict and characterize errors is more important than the total error rate.
