"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

LLM output is not deterministic. WTF good is testing gonna do for you when it could just do something randomly different the next time anyway?
Letting the thing execute commands on its own, without having the human read and confirm them first, is just fundamentally idiotic and insane. No amount of testing can change that!
I think this needs to be called out much more. IT, by its very nature is meant to consist of repeatable, verifiable processes and outputs. That is how a lot of the trust around the process is built.
Now you’re basically trying to tell people: Trust a system that can only reproduce the same results 98-99% of the time. For some that may be fine, but it’s going to become more of a problem as time goes on.
