Comment on '3d-printing a screw' is a way to describe how AI integration is stupid most of the time

You “nailed down” screws? I think that’s your problem. You are supposed to hold the screw with a wrench and then rotate the entire piece of wood around it. What an idiot.

On a serious note. That is absolutely how I feel about LLMs. For one, LLMs are a specific subset of ML, which is itself a subset of a full “AI”. I hate that LLM has been branded AI when that is completely misleading at best and a flat out lie at worst. Sure it’s a part of AI, but it’s like marketing a steering wheel as a whole car. It’s very useful as a tool for a specific job, but saying it’s a car makes people think it’s all they need to travel somewhere.

LLMs are really just “Google Search 2.0” it just scrapes all the sites and combines them into a somewhat more concise and useful answer, but since anyone can post anything on the internet and those things can be true or false or anything in between, so too will the answers LLMs provide you. It’s risky to put ANY stake in the answers without knowledge yourself of what it means.
