You've probably heard that AI chatbots can completely fabricate quotes. It happened yesterday in a DU thread.

27. No, the problem using genAI is with genAI and its inherent flaws. Anyone who's ever used genAI should

be aware that the exact same prompt can get different answers, often wildly different answers. Every image generator that offers multiple options as results given just one prompt proves that.

And text generators can do the same thing, but are rarely set to do so because multiple varying text responses make it painfully obvious (painful for AI peddlers) that genAI has no real awareness of what is correct. And what can be excused as "creative" when there are very different images offered at once can't be excused away when it's text, no matter how hard the AI companies have tried to market their flawed tech's hallucinations as "creative" responses.

I would argue the biggest problem is the fuckhead AI companies paying off the pols so they can rush to market before there's ANY protective standards for humanity.

The first gigantic problem was the worldwide theft of intellectual property.

The second gigantic problem was release of tech they knew could and would be widely used for cheating and criminal fraud.

The third was releasing AI that hallucinated and still sounded convincing.

The fourth was releasing chatbots designed to become addictive.

I don't consider badly flawed tech that can be used for fraud amazing.

And there was a paragraph in your previous message that I should have responded to:

AI doing coding is 100% here to stay, so discussing the non-perfection in using AI to do it is a bit pointless at this juncture. There's probably nothing it's better at doing, and it relies on publicly available/non-copyrighted documents to do that work, so it's also among the more morally acceptable things to use it for.

"Publicly available" is not the same thing as "non-copyrighted" even though AI robber barons would love people to believe they are the same.

AI models that code also have legal problems.
