    i gotta believe similar conclusions were reached regarding calculators and a host of other technological developments.

      …but a properly functioning calculator doesn’t confidently state the square root of -1 is pi… all current AIs make shit up when they don’t actually find a factual answer, or parrot back wrong answers from whatever crap they trained on. Until the problems of recursive ingestion decay and lack of ability to introspect on the correctness or provenance of data is solved, they cannot be trusted and they give a false sense of confidence.

        garbage in garbage out- if you ask good questions you get good answers, if you know how to use a calculator it can do wonderful things.

          garbage in garbage out

          Yes

          if you ask good questions

          It’s way too late for that, the garbage already went in in the training stages, now you get garbage out

            the training stages? you mean every piece of science, every novel, every reference material they could possibly feed into the model? somehow is rendered useless becauuuuuse??
