Forgive Bing. It’s American and doesn’t know the metric system.
I’m burrrrning!
When techbros said “you can type a question and the AI will answer”, they seem to have forgotten that we expect the answers to be true and accurate.
And they seem to have forgotten that to do that, they actually need a database of facts.
And they seem to have forgotten that to do that, they actually need a database of facts.
This is the main reason why AI cannot be trusted to answer science questions. They absolutely need a database of facts.
How have scientists not figured out interstellar travel yet??? It’s really right in front of us!
Like every tool, it has its uses…but they are not those people want. LLMs are great for things where mistakes don’t detract from the result (or even add to it) like brainstorming, art, music, disinformation…all that good stuff.
brainstorming
Sure thing, but have to remember to include “no bad ideas” in the prompt for best results.
That’s what I think too. AI is mainly useful for things that don’t have right or wrong answers.
Although this incorrect answers is obvious, what about all the times where an incorrect answer from AI is not obvious?
@Gsus4 @btaf45 That’s true for AI that has been trained for the general public to provide an answer for any provided question meaning they are forced to respond to a prompt even though they are wrong and maybe even know they are wrong. They just don’t know the answer and can’t say that because it’s commercially bad.
I do believe that for scientific research AI models are much more precise because they have been trained with the right datasets and are tasked with answering specific questions.
So, AI is suited to be a CEO or in marketing…
Yeah that’s why it would be very nice if they would stop integrating it into fucking search engines.
They wanna fucking integrate it in everything, dumbfucks. This is why meritocracy is dead, the people with the means to determine where we go as a society are “number go up” people.
Relying on LLM for any facts without verifying is playing with fire.
I suspect there’s a quite-overlapping Venn diagram of people who rely on LLMs for their “facts” with people who believe the earth is flat and people who believe ancient aliens are real.

Nobody using the metric system says “trillion kilometers”! 🌞

Unfortunately way too many people do even though it is not the correct SI unit for the scale, simply because ‘kilometer’ is the metric distance unit used for Earth distances. I have astronomy distances memorized as metric SI distances and I only care about the km distance so I can convert that to the SI distance. e.g. When I see “trillion kilometers” I convert that in my head to “quadrillion meters” which I then convert to “petameters”.
I would rather see the base unit ‘meters’ than km so I can skip a step. My own preference for astronomy distance units is:
metric SI units > meters > kilometers > non metric units
He literally told it to give the answer “in km”. That’s on him, not Bing.
Ahhhh, yeah

Well then, what are we waiting for? Let’s go visit Alpha Centauri!

I c what you did there.
Microsloth is ignorant as hell to push that9
A great deal of energy, hardware and software went into providing that wrong answer.
We should leave AI to the realm of producing fringe/impossible porn, like it was meant for and like what everyone actually wants from it. All this “search engine” stuff is just cover like when you buy some non-lube products like groceries along with the tube of astroglide at 1:00 AM.
You. I like you.
If you read the whole thing, it’s not wrong. It just highlighted a part that is wrong when taken out of context
What you’re referring to as “highlighting” here is what most of us consider the thing “answering the question”.
“Where are you from?”
“Connecticut. I was born and raised in Utah …”
That first sentence is the answer to the question.
Hey, I have a half tank of gas, I think I will go check it out.
I’ll be the non jokey one here and bring us all down with the hard math. 13.6 kilometers converted into American is pretty much, like, way more than a half tank of gas unless you have a Prius. But you do you. Can you get me a slushie on the way back? You know I’m good for it.
It’s
126 miles to Chicago13.6 kilometers to Alpha Centauri, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack off cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.
get in
Interstellar travel is possible after all
That explains why it’s so hot outside.
Who’s down for a quick bike ride?
