Meta “programmed it to simply not answer questions,” but it did anyway.

    It’s designed in a ways that’ll make it inherently incorrect. Even on a physical basis (due to numeric issues). It’s not a problem of the algorithm because it has been designed that way. The problem is that you don’t know how to correctly use it.

    “It doesn’t make a good source of knowledge.”

    “Yeah, but it is designed to be inherently wrong”

    How does that make any sense when trying to use something for knowledge? Being inherently wrong is the opposite of helpful for knowledge.

    AI is great at pattern recognition, but knowledge isn’t pattern recognition. Needing to know when it gives false information requires the “supervisor” to already have that knowledge. That makes the AI less useful than a simple reference because at least the reference can come from a trusted source.

    If people stopped trying to jam AI into situations where being correct is important it wouldn’t be a problem. But excusing that because it is designed to be inherently wrong deserves another LOLWUT.

      It was never designed to reproduce knowledge. It was designed to do reasoning and natural language processing and generation. You’re using it wrong.

      If you don’t know what you’re talking about and don’t have any capacity to learn something new, it’s sometimes best to stop talking. Especially when you’re starting to get rude to knowlegable people that try to explain it to you.
