In reply to the discussion: You've probably heard that AI chatbots can completely fabricate quotes. It happened yesterday in a DU thread. [View all]highplainsdem
(61,055 posts)links I provided should have stopped it from going off on a delusional tangent.
I hope for your sake and everyone else's that AI coding won't replace code written by competent humans, because my best guess based on everything I've read is that a large fraction of AI-written code is incredibly insecure, there are going to be disastrous hacks and failures, and we'll need every good human coding expert to start to repair the mess of the world's software that AI is making.
I have no idea how we're going to undo the worldwide flood of misinformation and hallucinations from AI polluting our information ecosystem, including scientific and medical journals. That work certainly can't be done by clueless, hallucinating LLMs. In fact, Gemini and Claude's misinformation here has probably already been scraped for training data and will end up regurgitated someplace as "facts" about that story.
I really would like to see the genAI industry held responsible for all the damage their inherently flawed tools have done in just a few years.
