"Never copy and paste the output from generative AI chatbots" is mentioned in the article three times. This has been my experience as well. Initial AI output can be stunning until you quickly realize that it is mostly BS, filler a

I appreciate that each section of the article has supporting references. About zombie fires, coal seam fires can burn for 100+ years even sparking fires above ground [0]. This is a scientific discipline that appears to have a promising futu

I'm skeptical as well. AI can make some granular components within employee workflows much faster, but cannot takeover entire jobs, and not all tasks can be tackled with AI. Maybe the argument is the workforce can do more with less, bu

Parent here with school-aged kids. I think this sub-thread blaming the parents is particularly depressing and not founded in reality. Here is the way I see it. The social media companies with quasi infinite resources have won. They hired th

"likely aimed at improving security screening and preventing abuse of the system" This is an opinion. Is it yours, or the AI's? Moreover, is the AI just trying to be agreeable or is this coming from a platform that has a poli

I also agree that this comment is likely AI generated (i.e., "why this matters" gave it away for me. I think I've seen this phrase a lot with ChatGPT). I think it is the last part of the last sentence and the toeing of the pa

The LLMs debates have been raging for a while now, and I think this is one of the most insightful comments I've read on this topic. I also think what you describe can also be applied to writing with LLMs. In short, your idea of a 3rd w

I did not read the entire blog post (it is pretty long), but from what I read, I actually disagree with the author. You want to provide the right amount of prompting, but not too much either. Also the LLM can derive a huge amount of informa
