There is friction to asking AI yourself. And a comment typically means that "I found the AI answer insightful enough to share".

- codechicago277 10mo agoThe problem is that the AI answer could just be wrong, and there’s another step required to validate what it spit out. Sharing the conversation without fact checking it just adds noise.
- ben_w 10mo agoUnfortunately it's easier to train an AI to be convincing than to be correct, so it can look insightful before it's true. Like horoscopes, only they're not actually that bad so roll a D20 and on a set of numbers known only to the DM (and varying with domain and task length) you get a textbook answer and on the rest you get convincing nonsense.
- D13Fd 10mo ago> Unfortunately it's easier to train an AI to be convincing than to be correct, so it can look insightful before it's true. This nails it. This is the fundamental problem with using AI material. You are outsourcing thinking in a way where the response is likely to look very correct without any actual logic or connection to truth.
- ManlyBread 10mo ago"Friciton" in this case is just plain old laziness and I don't think that it should be encouraged.
- WesolyKubeczek 10mo agoThen state your understanding of what it said in your own words, maybe you’ll realize it’s bunk mid-sentence.
- darthwalsh 10mo agoI'd rather you attribute your facts to an LLM vs. rephrase a hallucination that sounds right.
