For real. Asked chatgpt to help with a batch script. Literally the easiest thing it could possibly program. And guess what? Almost every example it gave was wrong. It seemed to know a lot about the command line program I was trying to run but it didn’t really understand what it was repeating to me.
I like when you ask it to help, and it tells you to import a library that would solve your problem exactly, then you google it and it doesn’t exist.
"Oh I'm sorry! You're right mxzlptx.jar was deprecated in 2008. Here's the actual script that will definitely work 100%."*INCORRECT BUZZER*
It kept fucking up double quotes and escape characters. Like, if it can’t get that right in a batch file it’s hopeless.
Elon Musk: “Let’s have it run the government. But fire everyone before we try it first.”
It’s worse than that. It’s right just often enough to make people think it’s right all the time.

I really wish people would understand that “AI” isn’t just LLMs.
This is so, but LLM’s are the
onlymost visible public facing ones and they’re the dumbshit technology that every company on Earth is now trying to shoehorn into every product. They’re what people see, interact with, and get pissed off by.Learning neural nets are good for various specific types of pattern recognition tasks, but trying to be an electronic butler who answers your questions ain’t one of them and it never will be.
LLM’s are the only public facing ones
They aren’t at all. Mixamo uses AI to generate animated skeleton models that follow dance videos. Photoshop has “generative fill”, plenty of AI is public facing and used constantly besides LLMs. Many of these things have sped up workflows to a tremendous degree. One of my favorite music programs can use AI in order to replicate certain harmonics for instruments which would have taken me hours by hand before.
The audio side is incredible. I can basically sample the nonlinearities of audio gear that would usually cost fuck loads to own a rack of. It’s limited still but it really injects that grit you want from certain gear that algorithms can’t touch
He’s not just a regular moron. He’s the product of the greatest minds of a generation working together with the express purpose of building the dumbest moron who ever lived. And you just put him in charge of the entire facility.
