It's happening in college students, too. We're seeing students asking for paper'n'pencil work again.

If AI worked, we would have had self driving cars by now.
I can’t think of anything good that we have today cause of AI that we didn’t have 5 years ago.
I rode in one last month, down the highway.
Even the most pessimistic reports of human involvement still puts them in the 'mostly self-driving' camp, and I'd rather have one with a fallback than one without.
Should I disbelieve my lying eyes?
mostly self-driving
Yeah I wouldn’t call that self driving.
Here is a genuine question for you, how did the cost compare to an uber ride? Was it a fraction of it?
Technological leaps have always provided huge reductions of cost, I do wonder how expensive robo taxis would be compared to regular ones
I don't think we'll ever stop moving the goal posts. You can still meet people who don't use computers and have never seen the use in them.
Moving the goal post? Self driving has the word self in it, if anything I’m insisting on keeping the goal post.
There are 70 drivers for 3000 vehicles. Which goal is good enough for you? We'll make a note, I'll tell you when we passed it, and you can tell me why it's not real. I'm willing to wait.
I would have imagined self driving means 0 drivers
It would also include all driving conditions
For the record, I’m not saying that’s not impressive, I’m just going by the definition.
I honestly thought we would have automated truck drivers by now, which imo is when shit really this the fan.

Even from source documents fed to notebooklm, it has been confidently giving me wrong advice back to back. These non deterministic tools can be useful but can also be dangerous for our work.

You have been accepting its results as "confident" when you really should be verifying them independently.
Many things in this universe are NP hard - no way to solve without slogging through every possibility, but relatively easy to check once you have the answer.
People aren't right 100% of the time. LLMs trained on peoples' writings (often rando people on the internet) are also not right 100% of the time. You should verify anything you get from either source - it's much easier to verify than to do the basic research yourself.

The most useful thing I have found for non deterministic tools to do? Have them create deterministic tools for me.
