Comment on Librarians Are Tired of Being Accused of Hiding Secret Books That Were Made Up by AI

Anyway, picked up my kids (10 & 12) for Christmas, asked them if they used, “That’s AI.” to call something bullshit. Yep!
Especially if you’re asking about something you’re not educated or experienced with
That’s the biggest problem for me. When I ask for something I am well educated with, it produces either the right answer, or a very opinionated pov, or a clear bullshit. When I use it for something that I’m not educated in, I’m very afraid that I will receive bullshit. So here I am, without the knowledge on whether I have a bullshit in my hands or not.
I would say give it a sniff and see if it passes the test… But sadly we never did get around to inventing smellovision

Don’t you see the problem with that logic?

Oh, no, not saying using them is logical, but I can see how people fall for it. Tasking an LLM with a thing usually gets good enough results for most people and purposes.
Ya know? I’m not really sure how to articulate this thing.

No, your logic that it’s okay to use if you’re not an expert with the topic. You notice the errors on subjects you’re knowledgeable about. That does not mean those errors don’t happen on things you aren’t knowledgeable about. It just means you don’t know enough to recognize them.
