I've had on so many cases autocomplete forms puts something in a field it shouldn't and messes up a submission. I've had it happen on travel documents that caused headaches later at the airport - especially if it fills in a hidden field because some bad web dev implemented it poorly.
- charcircuit 11mo agoIt gets it wrong because the current "AI" for filling out forms is extremely weak and brittle compared to the general language models we have now.
- recursive 11mo agoLanguage models seem pretty weak and brittle in my interactions with them too.
- oneeyedpigeon 10mo agoDo you have an example form field that a general language model could fill out better than a human + highly focussed deterministic algorithm?
- charcircuit 10mo agoEcommerce checkout. Filling out my address, billing adress, and credit card information. Things like drop downs or different formatting can mess up the current basic ones, but it really shouldn't be that hard for AI to figure out how to fill out such information it knows about me into the form.
- oneeyedpigeon 10mo agoI think I've found those unreliable in the past, but much more reliable as time goes on. I can't really remember the last time an address or credit card info was mishandled by autofill. I get that addresses can be poorly defined, but for one you've entered yourself, that you just want to be re-entered, I don't see why we can't solve that problem without AI.
