I will never understand how people will believe shit this easily from ai, it’s an over glorified middle prediction key when it comes to text, knows less than nothing

I understand it, but I'm also informed enough not to fall for it.

For 100 years we've had fictional stories about thinking machines. With the explosive advancement of computing technology in the 80s and early 2000s, seemingly magical things have been brought to life with computing solutions and technology. Our popular fiction has advanced slightly ahead of realty. We've had the modern version of an AI boogyman since 1984 with the HAL9000.

Pop culture today is telling people that ChatGPT and other GenAI LLMs are the thinking machines from fiction. So those folks assume they are. Clarke famously said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." For so many that aren't involved with IT/technology professionally they think its magic. Those of us with more knowledge understand that Gen AI LLMs are just really fancy word predictors that tell us versions of things other have said before. They don't think. They don't reason. They certainly aren't inherently trustworthy with what they output.
