GitLab Enterprise somewhat recently added support for Amazon Q (based on claude) through an interface they call “GitLab Duo”. I needed to look up something in the GitLab docs, but thought I’d ask Duo/Q instead (the UI has this big button in the top left of every screen to bring up Duo to chat with Q):
(Paraphrasing…)
ME: How do I do X with Amazon Q in GitLab? Q: Open the Amazon Q menu in the GitLab UI and select the appropriate option.
ME: [:looks for the non-existant menu:] ME: Where in the UI do I find this menu?
Q: My last response was incorrect. There is no Amazon Q button in GitLab. In fact, there is no integration between GitLab and Amazon Q at all.
ME: [:facepalm:]

I get the sentiment behind this post, and it’s almost always funny when LLM are such dumbass. But this is not a good argument against the technology. It is akin to climate change denier using the argument: “look! It snowed today, climate change is so dumb huh ?”

It's a pretty good argument against the technology, at least as it currently stands. This was a trivial question where anybody with a basic reading ability can see it's just completely wrong, the problem comes when you ask it a question you don't already know the answer to and can't easily check and it give equally wrong answers.
PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It’s not worth the environmental impact
Reygle@lemmy.world 6 months ago
You do know that AI is (if not already) fast approaching a leading CAUSE of climate change?
BlueMagma@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Yes, I know it has an impact, though not as big as you make it seem, (and so is everything). When you divide it to calculate the personal impact, it is way lower than a huge number of other stuff. I agree that we need to address climate change, but I don’t believe this should be the main focus.
Also, every individual should be able to choose how they spend their “carbon allocation”, personally, I don’t eat meat, I never take the plane, I don’t own a car and do everything using bike and trains, my house is carbon negative (building it actually had a negative carbon footprint) which was a huge sacrifice I had to compromise getting a way way smaller house for way more debt than if I had built a cheap standard house (and of course I’m in debt for decade). LLM makes me more efficient at my job so I think I can afford the carbon footprint that comes with it which, as I said, is not as big per individual as you make it appear.
I understand that hanging on Lemmy makes it seem like AI/LLM is the worse thing that has happened to mankind, but it’s really not, there are lots of issues with it, sure. But there is worse stuff to worry about.
I want to finish by saying that I DO support your action to minimize its impact, what you are doing overall is important and necessary, but I think you should revise the individual argument you put up against LLM, cause this one is not great.
groet@infosec.pub 6 months ago
While the environmental impact of AI is absolutely horrible I don’t think it is even in the top 10 of industries. Meat production, Transportation by cars, Airplanes, plastic products etc are all much worse.
The problem is AI is absolutely useless for how big its climate impact is. The other industries at least provide value.
MangoCats@feddit.it 6 months ago
AI writes code for me. It makes dumbass mistakes that compilers automatically catch. It takes three or four rounds to correct a lot of random problems that crop up. Above all else, it’s got limited capacity - projects beyond a couple thousand lines of code have to be carefully structured and spoonfed to it - a lot like working with junior developers. However: it’s significantly faster than Googling for the information needed to write the code like I have been doing for the last 20 years, it does produce good sample code (if you give it good prompts), and it’s way less frustrating and slow to work with than a room full of junior developers.
That’s not saying we fire the junior developers, just that their learning specializations will probably be very different from the ones I was learning 20 years ago, just as those were very different than the ones programmers used 40 and 60 years ago.
BlueMagma@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I agree, cursor and other IDE integration have been a game changer. It made it way easier for a certain range of problems we used to have in software dev. And for every easy code, like prototyping, or inconsequential testing, it’s so so fast. What I found is that, it is particularly efficient at helping you do stuff you would have been able to do alone, and are able to check once it’s done. Need to be careful when asking stuff you aren’t familiar with though, cause it will comfortably lead you toward a mistake that will waste your time.
Though one thing I have to say: I’m very annoyed by it’s constant agreeing with what I say, and enabling me when I’m doing dumb shit. I wish it would challenge me more and tell me when I’m an idiot.
“Yes you are totally right”, “This is a very common issue that everybody has”, “What a great and insightful question”… I’m so tired of this BS.

This is why invisible watermarking of AI-generated content is likely to be so effective. Even primitive watermarks like file metadata. It’s not hard for anyone with technical knowledge to remove, but the thing with AI-generated content is that anyone who dishonestly uses it when they are not supposed to is probably also too lazy to go through the motions of removing the watermarking.

Which is State contains 狄? They use a different alphabet, so understanding ours is ridiculous.
JustTesting@lemmy.hogru.ch 6 months ago
They don’t look at it letter by letter but in tokens, which are automatically generated separately based on occurrence. So while ‘z’ could be it’s own token, ‘ne’ or even ‘the’ could be treated as a single token vector. of course, ‘e’ would still be a separate token when it occurs in isolation. You could even have ‘le’ and ‘let’ as separate tokens, afaik. And each token is just a vector of numbers, like 300 or 1000 numbers that represent that token in a vector space. So ‘de’ and ‘e’ could be completely different and dissimilar vectors.
so ‘delaware’ could look to an llm more like de-la-w-are or similar.
of course you could train it to figure out letter counts based on those tokens with a lot of training data, though that could lower performance on other tasks and counting letters just isn’t that important, i guess, compared to other stuff

Have a 40% accuracy on any type of information it can produce? Not handle 2 column pages in its training data, resulting in dozens of scientific papers including references to nonsense pseudoscience words? Invent an entirely new form of slander that its creators can claim isn’t their fault to avoid getting sued in court for it?

ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
Hey look the markov chain showed its biggest weakness (the markov chain)!
In the training data, it could be assumed by output that Connecticut usually follows Colorado in lists of two or more states containing Colorado. There is no other reason for this to occur as far as I know.
Markov Chain based LLMs (I think thats all of them?) are dice-roll systems constrained to probability maps.
ramjambamalam@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
I was wondering if you’d get similar results for states with the letter R, since there’s lots of prior art mentioning these states as either “D” or “R” during elections.

Yesterday i asked Claude Sonnet what was on my calendar (since they just annoyed that feature)
It listed my work meetings on Sunday, so I tried to correct it…
You’re absolutely right - I made an error! September 15th is a Sunday, not a weekend day as I implied. Let me correct that: This Week’s Remaining Schedule: Sunday, September 15
Just today when I asked what’s on my calendar it gave me today and my meetings on the next two thursdays. Not the meetings in between, just thursdays.
Something is off in AI land.
MangoCats@feddit.it 6 months ago
We’ve used the Google AI speakers in the house for years, they make all kinds of hilarious mistakes. They also are pretty convenient and reliable for setting and executing alarms like “7AM weekdays”, and home automation commands like “all lights off”. But otherwise, it’s hit and miss and very frustrating when they push an update that breaks things that used to work.
achance4cheese@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago

panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
Yeah, it said Sunday, I asked if it was sure, then it said I’m right and went back to Sunday.
I assume the training data has the model think it’s a different year or something, but this feature is straight up not working at all for me. I don’t know if they actually tested this at all.
Sonnet seems to have gotten stupider somehow.
Opus isn’t following instructions lately either.
Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
This is the perfect time for LLM-based AI. We are already dealing with a significant population that accepts provable lies as facts, doesn’t believe in science. and has no concept of what hypocrisy means. The gross factual errors and invented facts of current AI couldn’t possibly fit in better.
