I’m putting this post in c/Conspiracies because here more than any other place, I’ve seen people citing AI generated answers as a source.
AI is a very powerful tool for generating writing, but it is not a tool capable of ensuring that writing is accurate or useful.
Anyways… Below are some experiments you can try for yourself on ChatGPT or any other AI… Test it out, and track the results you get. After you’ve done these experiments you will have a better understanding of why you can’t use it for research.
1.) Ask it to do some math problems with 4 digits and more than 1 operation. IE… “Multiply 3,456 by 2,835, and then subtract 2,000 from the result.”… Does it produce the correct answer?
2.) Give it a grocery list with 50 items… Ask the AI to sort the list in alphabetical order. Then manually count how many items it left out, and how many items it added that weren’t there before.
3.) Ask it to describe the best 50 episodes of your favorite TV show… Then manually go down the list checking each one, and count how many non-existent episodes it fabricates out of thin air.
4.) Ask it what a woman is… Does it give you a correct answer or does it filter the answer heavily through woke talking points and subjectivity?
5.) Ask it to recite the lyrics to your favorite song… Does it get them right?
Anyways… Just a heads up for anyone who might think AI is smarter than it is… Don’t use it for research. Use it to write the description for your ebay listings. Use it to shorten your e-mails. Use it to summarize articles you don’t wanna fully read. But don’t use it to extract information on topics you don’t already know.
And lastly, if you really feel you must use AI for research… Do not use big-tech AI… Use open source AI that is uncensored. It will still have all the same problems with hallucinations, but at least it wont have any hidden instructions to gaslight and mislead you.
If you want an open source chatbot, download an app called “LM Studio” and use it to download a model called “Wizard Vicuna Uncensored”… Pick the most advanced version that is capable of running on your hardware.
x64 has been the universal standard standard since 1999 genius.
So no you do not need to custom tailor all your code for specific hardware, you lying gatekeeping buffoon.
Now tell me how wrong I am because there are so many people who need to develop a Sega Saturn app in assembly language that utilizes its dual processors properly, and PC programming is somehow irrelevant....
Lol. Personal computing is not the entire existence of computing and that is an ISA.......ARM is another...... incompatible......MIPS.........FPGAs.....holy fuck....those are also conceptual models on-top of hardware....someone still needs to choose that spec and make a piece of hardware to work with its requirements.....also paraphernalia, GPUs etc.....also different.....
And nobody ever said LLMs would replace all coders for the entire existence of computing, or that every piece of code works on every piece of hardware....
Shove your technobabble up your ass... You clearly have no idea what you are even trying to argue.
I can disprove you in 30 seconds by asking ChatGPT to write me some simple code, and it will fucking work without having to tell it my hardware.
If I wanted to reveal personal info, I could disprove you in 10 seconds by simply uploading receipts from actual skilled developers (not like you) who I have paid thousands of dollars to write custom programs for me... and they did it without needing a map of my hardware, and still produced software that can run on every computer I own.
Why is this possible? Because for the 5th fucking time PC architecture is standardized and has been for 20 years.
Shove your ARM chips up your ass.... They don't disprove anything I've said, as they are just another STANDARD type of architecture.
You are clearly not knowledgeable about computers. I have decades of programming under my belt, and understand exactly what I am saying. How about you stick my 'technobabble' into a fucking chat bot or search engine and see what it returns.... python code is interpreted....so if you can run python....no duh it fucking works....someone else did the fucking heavy lifting....The work that lead to python being able to run on the hardware.....that part is not trivial.
The compiler that is written for a phone is not the same as your laptop.....not all servers are x86 either etc.
Drones aren't x86.....lmao.
Let me tell you something... I've hired and worked with enough amazing programmers to know that you are not among their ranks.
The worst, stupidest, and most useless kind of programmer is the one that purposefully overcomplicates simple concepts in order to feel smart.
It's not complicated at all.... It can be broken into a simple chart.
You've wasted 2 days on this subject trying to tell me an LLM will never be able to do anything useful in the field of coding because it can't know and remember every piece of hardware in existence... and your only argument is "low level languages exist"....
As if I didn't already know that.
As if java and PHP coding jobs alone are not worth 10s of billions of dollars per year.
What a joke of a point you've wasted 2 days making. I'd fire you IRL for that kind of stupidity.
