Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[kermit4karate]

I completely get it when the people using it know how to check the answers it gives (because they know the underlying ideas) and actually do check. I mean, I use it to double check all kinds of stuff I think I have worked out right. And can certainly imagine cases where I would ask it for things and then check them. (I've taken to running the assignments I give through it just to see what it gets right and wrong).

But I have no mercy for the author of a paper sent to a journal I edit for if it has hallucinated references. Or for a PhD student who asks AI for a short summary of a paper I told them to read and figure out and ask me about if they get stuck, and then thibks reading the summary is enough.

It feels kind of like watching a pitcher go to the batting cages to get better. (As opposed to a batter going to them).

Also not eager to see what the influx of data centers due to our state's power costs and water supplies.

Oh, it still makes mistakes for sure, but it's learning and getting better a hell of a lot quicker than any actual human I know.

A baby born today who goes to preschool in a few years, kinder, then through primary and secondary school? Compare how fast AI is developing to how an actual human will develop over the next 17 years.

No comparison, right? Imagine where AI will be in 17 years. shivers!

Bottom line, we are toast.
