reminded me of this article MIT researchers use large language models to flag problems in complex systems
Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

This looks interesting. A colleague is looking into data anomalies detection using AI for a project we are working on. My retort has always been that training the AI would be more costly than just performing the analysis on the real data, but if this allows to skip training it could be useful.
Edit: to add some context, it’s amusing how bad it can be at just spitting out a response on incredibly simple tasks. It eventually got the right answer, but three tries?

Honestly, that's frighteningly closer to what I'd expect from a conversation between two actual people than between a person and a computer.
This reminds me of a chat with a bunch of friends from long time ago. One of us was inquiring whether an absent common friend had found a job since his Ph.D. defense was coming up.
"Yes, he found a postdoc in the US"
"Do you remember where?"
"The university with an S. The famous one"
"Stanford?"
"No."
"Syracuse?"
"No."
"Santa Cruz?"
"No."
"..."
"..."
"Princeton?"
"That's the one!"
No LLM was involved in the conversation.

LLMs: Takes more tries to get it right than the average college intern.
Now imagine the shareholder value if 1 intern could supervise the output of multiple AI workflows!

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.

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...
