  AI is a broad category of systems, not any one thing. “AI doesn’t work” is like saying “plants taste bad”

    When they are pushing any plant, for everything, everywhere disregarding concerns for quality or appropriateness yeah plants taste bad, and will probably kill a few people

    You know exactly what we’re talking about when we look at this article and say “AI doesn’t work.” If you want to feign outrage, save it for the tech companies that muddy the waters.

      Even if someone’s inaccurately using “AI” as a synonym for LLMs, that claim would still be false - because LLMs work. You can use one right now.

      One spitting out false information isn’t a sign they’re not working. That’s not what LLMs are designed for. They’re chatbots - not generally intelligent systems.

        If you can understand the sentence “AI doesn’t work” is about LLMs, surely you can also understand that not working is synonymous for returning incorrect outputs.

        I have literally no idea what else you’d be arguing. Its ability to generate words? Everybody knows it can do that
