From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sure hasn't helped AI/LLMs with accuracy yet. And never will. Computing doesn't actually think and reason, it's just mashing together bits of data it has, and if what it has now isn't accurate, how is anything going to be?

You and others continue to harp on how great this new technology is and meanwhile we have seen it do nothing but absolutely, laughably fail. You keep saying it will get better, but it won't. It is limited by the fact that computers don't work that way. Sick and tired of the people justifying this garbage "tech" that is stealing art, code, text, etc, sucking up huge amounts of power, and giving wrong information, telling people to do dangerous things and even kill themselves because computers don't know the difference.

Just admit it. AI/LLM is garbage. Please. Stop being a massive fanboy for something that has clearly, evidently, 100% failed miserably and dangerously.

I think you are replying to the wrong person?

I did not say it helps with accuracy. I did not say LLMs will get better. I did not even say we should use LLMs.

But even if I did, non of your points are relevant for the Firefox usecase.
