    If I’m trying to fasten something, and the screwdriver fucks up half the time, then yeah I’m going to nail it together instead. Or use glue, or anything but an unreliable screwdriver.

      Thats the thing. AI doesn’t fuck up all the time and has gotten genuinely useful for some things in the last months.

      But a huge amount of you doesn’t know this or doesn’t care, generating an insufferable, ignorant circlejerk, drowning out every interesting discussion you can have about this topic.

        That is what people have said, every day, on repeat, for the last three years. Explain why it is better now instead of three months ago, when it was definitely not fucking up all the time and then I will copypaste that back to you for what was said three months ago for the same question.

        Which standards are you gonna hold it to? The benchmarking involves using standardized testing, but they typically just feed those questions into the testing data, so the tests have to be constantly updated, and when they are, you will not be surprised to learn that the machines goes back to fucking up the answers all the time.

        Experts in their fields do not use this shit because it is wrong on the things they know, but, oh wow, it must be totally right about the things I don’t know anything about? Every time.

        half the time

        Who said all the time? The problem is most people can’t tell which half it’s fucking up. An unreliable tool isn’t useful

          Hmm. They fuck up 50 percent of the time? I not only doubt that, I know that this is wrong. No offense. Do you actively use LMMs?
