@jackwilliambell@rustedneuron.com The prompt was absurd, and the sheer volume of suckbois who were all “you’re the most genius of geniuses that has ever geniused” was revolting, and just goes to show how many of these morons don’t understand Eliza. Jeezycreezy.

@jackwilliambell@rustedneuron.com The prompt was bad, but what's worse are his critics. One of the problems with the #luddites is they ravel in their ignorance of the technology as if not understanding it gives them some mystical insight. If you hate Ai, you are the first cohort that needs to keep up, otherwise you just sound dumb. The "thou shall not hallucinate" prompt to be effective is "verify against credible sources" 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆 This works 100% of the time as modern #LLM do in fact pull live results of searches and know what is a credible source. I know this to be true because I have used it literally hundreds of times, doing manual desk checks in the early days to confirm it work. What this does show is #andreessen arrogance, just like Luddites that he/they don't need to learn about #Ai because THEY ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE TECH. A position that is silly, when the tech evolves monthly. Using AI is a learned skill and Andreessen and his critics demonstrate that they think they don't need to.
