This answer really isn’t good enough. The providers can’t both aim to replace search and claim PhD level intelligence that will do all the jobs, but hide behind “it makes mistakes” in small print.
replyYes and the world should be utopia and everyone should be happy and we all wish for world peace and yada yada yada. What you are saying is a vision of ideal world as it should be, but doesn't help anyone understand the real world problems.
replyYou can't seriously compare the problem of world peace with the problem of exercising the most basic level of critical thinking w.r.t. LLM output after it has already proven itself unreliable. That's not a utopian dream, it's a level of prudence on par with not sticking a fork in an electrical socket.
replyYou're seriously overestimating the average person's ability to understand what llms are.
replyLook at all the influences, streamers, podcasters constantly asking em things and taking it as fact - live.
Isn't the joe Rogan experience like the most watched podcast or something? Every episode I've ever stumbled upon he "fact checks" multiple things via their sponsor which is just an llm provider specialized on news.
People aren't good at statistics. If something is close enough to the truth enough times, and talks authoritively on everything with good English... Guess what, they're gonna trust it.
I would happily bet that you too have fallen for this at least once. Unless you cut AI out of your life completely and do not interact with others.
replyAI output is like that COVID video of contamination, you almost can't avoid it unless you scrupulously check each and every thing that is presented as fact that you are exposed to. And absolutely nobody does that.
You may demand that of yourself, but for others we must design around the fact that they are stupid. You do not have the power to change their stupidity, only your response to it.
replyyes but the electrical socket in question is a fairly new-fangled one, who doesn't want to fork-test it a bit.
