A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

One thing everyone should do before asking a serious question to AI is to ask a question that you know is false just to get a reminder that what you are seeing may sound plausible it may absolutely be false.
Example:
I told ChatGPT that I was researching old railway lines on the Roslagsbanan network and that I wanted more information about the stations on the Åkersberga to Rimbo line.
The response I got was polite and friendly and even gave me a description of each station.
Too bad it made up half of them along with the line itself, and kept the lie going until I confronted it.
Do tests like that to see how easy it is for AI to invent the truth.
