@emilymbender@dair-community.social @alex@dair-community.social I retired from my biotech job last year but before I left, it was true that almost every single PhD, Engineer, and mid/senior manager had discovered, thru trial and error, NOT company mandated policy, that AI is a very useful and powerful tool, able to work miracles in some specific cases not sure why my real life experience is so different from what you post seems to imply

@failedLyndonLaRouchite@mas.to #GenAI seems miraculous until you critically examine its output. It simply isn't trustworthy. And, because it deals in word frequencies rather than facts, rather than truth and falsehood, it's incapable of telling you when what it says is true and when it's nonsense. Explicitly telling the machine not to hallucinate, interpolate or guess will make hallucinations less frequent, but still not to the point where you can trust anything the machine says. And, when you don't spot a hallucination, who's responsible for letting it slip through the net? Why, you are, of course. @emilymbender@dair-community.social @alex@dair-community.social
