@farseen@fedi.nptr.xyz @celesteh@hachyderm.io @knowprose@mastodon.social @mcc@mastodon.social AI has displaced some jobs, but more often it's turned jobs (or parts of them) into checking LLM output. That's actually worse than just getting rid of the job in some cases, because it leads to producing more misinformation.
Most LLM hallucinations are subtle, so you have to closely check every bit information to catch them. Very people are as careful as they think they are. Fact-checking is often mind-numbing work, so it's hard to stay vigilant.

@farseen@fedi.nptr.xyz @celesteh@hachyderm.io @knowprose@mastodon.social @mcc@mastodon.social Even if you try to be careful, your boss probably thinks fact-checking should take less time than it actually does. And many people don't really check things because they're overwhelmed with too many tasks, don't read well, or don't think the errors will matter much. And many organizations have calculated that it will be more profitable for them to sacrifice a little information accuracy for "efficiency." 🧵 (3/ ?)
