How large language models will disrupt data management [pdf]
- elahieh 2y agoSection header: "Who's data is it?" Couldn't they have had an LLM proof-read they're paper?
- ziofill 2y agoThey’re?
- marktam264 2y agoI know, right? Their grammar is, as if, they’re not there?

- batch12 2y agoI've been seeing this a lot lately. Everywhere from screen printed signs to news tickers. I'm not sure if this is because it's new or if I'm just now seeing it.
- elahieh 2y agoYeah, call me snobby or OCD but I lost confidence in the authors and reviewers when I saw that slipped through. Then I started wondering if this is going to become the new anti-AI marker. AI-written papers use "delves", "underscores" and "showcasing" too much. Avoid those words, throw in some errors and readers will think your paper was written by humans.
- kolinko 2y agoAs for authors - perhaps english is their second language? Regular spellcheckers don’t check grammar well enough.
- rjurney 2y agoYou fucks, I just learned about this. I feel so stupid!
- 6510 2y ago"unsafe" language is your friend.
- treebeard901 2y agoTheir probably just unaware of the affect they're words wood have on us. Its no big deal and we should just except it. I wouldn't altar a single word. They've been served there just deserts, and I would of maid the same mistake. Let sleeping dogs lay. They probably never past English class anyway, and your far two picky about these things.
- thierrydamiba 2y agoI think it’s a play on “who’s line is it”
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- dools 2y agoBut whose line is it anyway is spelled whose because it’s a possessive pronoun. Who’s means who is or who has. Who’s up for some donuts? Whose turn is it to go to the shops? Who’s seen my car keys?
- Asraelite 2y agoIn this context it's a possessive determiner, not a possessive pronoun.
- serial_dev 2y agoIts still whose, sorry to tell you, your misstaken

- ohthatsnotright 2y agoTheir mistaken what?

- albert_e 2y agoPossibly stupid question, in general: why don't these papers have any dates? how do I know when it was published and whether it is up-to-date / still relevant?
- eftychis 2y agoNot a stupid question at all. I agree with you. But that is part of the style of VLDB -- the front matter has the publication date. In any case this is part of the 2022-2023 volume: https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/volumes/16/ https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/volumes/16/ (in particular https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol16/FrontMatterVol16No11.pdf https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol16/FrontMatterVol16No11.pdf -- July 2023)
- simonw 2y agoOh so this is a year old? That makes sense, some of the examples (like the SQL generation from human language) felt a little unexciting by today's standards but would have been more interesting last July.
- zeehio 2y agoI agree they should shave that information. The nice part is that this information is standardized through the digital object identifier (doi). Ex: 10.14778/3611479.3611527 This doi takes you to: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.14778/3611479.3611527 https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.14778/3611479.3611527 In general if you have a DOI and you want a URL you can go to https://dx.doi.org/ https://dx.doi.org/ to resolve it.
- cgio 2y agoThis felt very shallow which may be because of the breadth of topics the authors tried to address. Data management has been building for years on the pillars of data quality, with a passion that is at times counterproductive (looking at you single ideal schema of truth) and I feel this failed to put enough emphasis on the gradual transition to new mechanics of trust as a counterweight to probabilistic answers. We are falling into the trap of imagining robotic brooms instead of vacuum cleaners. I don't see LLMs perfecting approaches with singular focus on precision but I do see them introducing new with focus on convenience (is that not what we are witnessing with evolution of search?)
- crooked-v 2y ago> trust as a counterweight to probabilistic answers The basic problem with that is that even with 5 9s of good results, that remainder still gets you very public cases of "put glue on your pizza". And we're not even at 5 9s yet.
- zcw100 2y agoPeople assume this is a completely absurd answer but there are times when it is correct to put glue on a pizza. The LLM picked this up because advertisers put glue on pizza to get that cheese pull shot. The next question is will LLMs ever develop enough understanding to distinguish these two cases. Personally I think LLMs will figure this out long before a bunch of ontologists stop bickering about it.
- Obscurity4340 2y ago> when ontologists stop bickering about it When does the LLM think that will happen, please ask it I'm curious
- dartos 2y agoGoogle’s AI pulled that answer almost word for word from a joke on Reddit. Nothing about filming food commercials. Why white knight an undercooked product?
- lolive 2y agoNonsense. *BLOCKCHAIN* will disrupt data management ! #humor
- serial_dev 2y agoI work at a company that manages docs, chat, and tasks (amongst many others), we of course use our product internally. AI search (chatgpt-like, you ask a question, it answers) was added a while ago. My experience has been that it really is a huge improvement, you don't need to guess which words were used to describe the issue, you just describe your issue, tell the system what you want, and the results are there. Chat's been busy and you remember an issue was raised in a thread a week ago? With traditional search, good luck finding it. Now, I just write "Tom raised this week an issue in this chat about something not working with reminders??" and the results are there. Someone at the company uses it to manage Dungeons and Dragons play nights, they document their world, their plays, etc, he wrote probably a smaller book worth of content, then can ask AI what happened 4 months ago with a characters instead of trying to search.
- CaptainFever 2y agoI wish something like that came to Discord. Their search is terrible and I could never find something if I didn't know the exact words, and the servers aren't indexed by external search engines either.
