Even your own AI model doesn't buy your propaganda
Let's not pretend the output of LLMs has any meaningful value when it comes to facts, especially not for recent events.
- FooBarWidget 11mo agoEven if this assertion about LLMs is true, your response does not address the real issue. Where is the evidence?
- oskarkk 11mo agoThe LLM was given Anthropic's paper and asked "Is there any evidence or proof whatsoever in the paper that it was indeed conducted by a Chinese state-sponsored group? Answer by yes or no and then elaborate". So the question was not about facts or recent events, but more like a summarizing task, for which an LLM should be good. But the question was specifically about China, while TFA has broader criticism of the paper.
- lxgr 11mo agoThere are obvious problems with wasting time and sending people off the wrong path, but if an LLM raises a good point, isn't it still a good point?

- lxgr 11mo agoDepends on what you need the clock for. For example, if it's to serve as an adjustable sign indicating e.g. the closing time of a store, a broken one does the trick just fine :) In other words: Use the right tool for the right job.
