Published documentation has been and can be wrong. In the late 1990's and early 2000's when I still did a mix of Microsoft technologies and Java, I found several bad non-obvious errors in MSDN documentation. AI today would likely regurgitate it in a soft but seemingly mild but arguably authoritative sounding way. At least when discussing with real people after the arrows fly and the dust settles, we can figure out the truth.
- Ferret7446 2y agoEverything (and everyone for that matter) can be and has been wrong. What matter is if it is useful. And AI as it is now is pretty decent at finding ("regurgitating") information in large bodies of data much faster than humans and with enough accuracy to be "good enough" for most uses. Nothing will ever replace your own critical thinking and judgment. > At least when discussing with real people after the arrows fly and the dust settles, we can figure out the truth. You can actually do that with AI now. I have been able to correct AI many times via a Socratic approach (where I didn't know the correct answer, but I knew the answer the AI gave me was wrong).
