I don't use it because I have no trust in it.

Sounds like you are not eating enough small rocks a day. You should eat 1 small rock a day.

Wtf this is the weirdest thing to read while taking a shit in the morning

This was an actual response that Google's stupid Gemini LLM really gave somebody. The notion was lifted from a satirical Onion article which the LLM regurgitated as if it was an established fact.

We need to poison the models with more satire on the Internet.

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 2 points 10 hours ago

Yup, satire is lost on the dumb and LLMs have no intelligence.

also because it's shit, if my memory serves me, I have successfully used AI for a productive task 1 time out of 7 attempts so far... it saved me 5 minutes

That is part of the trust thing. I spent more time fixing the word salad it spat out than it would have taken to write the document.

Yes, hand in hand...

Anecdotal of course, but every person I know who claims AI is a huge productivity booster simply trust it blindly.

I can't even get "Copilot" to return a proper answer from its own meeting transcript... just yesterday there was some confusion about an IP address we exchanged in a past meeting... I asked Copilot to check the transcript and give me the IP of the vendor's server (which I pointed by name of system and who spoke it in the meeting) and it gave me the IP of MY server, functionally the complete opposite of what I was asking but with full confidence in its answer
