Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Velderan]

Yep, people can be dumb and make mistakes sometimes. And LLMs also can be dumb and make mistakes. That in no way means LLMs have a mind and are actually thinking. They spit out words based on percentages derived from their training data. There’s no cognition.

And far too often the output will match up with whatever you say.

I wonder why the techbros would design software that’s able to do what LLMs can, but also make it a “yes man.”

A good path to follow if you want high adoption? Tell people what they want to hear, not the truth.

At least until the scam becomes obvious and reality sets in.

Apropos of nothing. . . It was was 21 years ago next month that I retired from being an ENWorld mod

Take This Job And Shove It!

Ha! I knew that'd get you attention! As many of you may have noticed I have not been around the boards nearly as much for a while now. In fact, for over a year I have barely posted to the boards except for my story hour* (and even that has not been updated for over a month), checking in to...

"Tried to quit." I know that feeling well.

Hey now!

Most of us are not lazy.

I think the things he's responding to will taper off once the books are out and everyone settles down.

When I wasn't playing either 4E or Pathfinder, I took a several year break, because listening to two sides argue about something that I didn't care about at all meant there was very little value in ENWorld for me.

People really need to remember that HR exists to protect the company, not the employee. HR is not your friend.
