With humans we have a decent understanding of what they are capable of. I trust a medical professional to provide me with medical advice and an engineer to provide me with engineering advice. With LLM, it can be unpredictable at times, and

My reason for commenting wasn't to say LLM sucks, but rather we need to get over the honeymoon phase. The fact the GPT-4o (one of the most advanced, if not the most advanced when it comes to non programming tasks) hallucinated "G

In the process of developing my tool, there are only 5 models (the first 5 in my models dropdown list) that I would use as a writing aide. If you used any other model, it really is a crapshoot with how bad they can be.

I have no doubt the author of the press release used LLM to help them, but I'm not convinced that this was fully generated by AI. Since you got me thinking about this more, I decided to run the sentence across my tool with a new prompt

Animals are capable of learning. LLMs can not. LLM uses weights that are defined during the training process to decide what to do next. LLM cannot self evaluate based on what it has said. You have to create a new message for it to create a

And remember to always challenge the response with both the same and different models. No joke. Just continue the conversation for the example in the blog and ask the LLM "Do you see anything wrong with the code?" and it will spit

This will only work if they can ensure the product that they promote is, in fact, good. Google makes it very clear that what you are seeing is popular (or is a paid ad), but they don't endorse it. ChatGPT is seen as an assistant for m
