Comment on Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species”

I’d say that it’s simply because most people on the internet (the dataset the LLMs are trained on) say a lot of things with absolute confidence, no matter if they actually know what they are talking about or not. So AIs will talk confidently because most people do so. It could also be something about how they are configured.

Again, they don’t know if they know the answer, they just say what’s the most statically probable thing to say given your message and their prompt.

Then in that respect AIs aren’t even as powerful as an ordinary computer program.

  No computer programs “know” anything. They’re just sets of instructions with varying complexity.

    Yea I see what you mean, I guess in that sense they know if a state is true or false based on an input.
