AI machines hallucinating

AI machines aren’t ‘hallucinating’. But their makers are | Naomi Klein

Tech CEOs want us to believe that generative AI will benefit humanity. They are kidding themselves

Lol! Yeah, the whole subject has become smoke and mirrors. Inevitable when there are giant egos with vast fortunes invested. They'll say anything if they think it promotes their stuff. Having said that, AI will undoubtedly be useful. But right now we're at the dot.com stage where everybody has unrealistic expectations.

Well...
If someone starts a DDOS-style "attack" on AI, asking myriad questions about psilocybin and lysergic acid diethylamide -- things could get interesting.

Can conspiratorial YouTube vids be far behind? AIs can join the crowd

Isnt there the DAN mode?

At least no-ones talking about blockchains all the time now.

That scam is passe. Everybody has already fled or is in jail

Do AIs hallucinate electric pink elephants?

or as uninteresting as Rogan's podcast?

i prefer dr. Stamets, tho...dude's got charisma, which i really can not imagine an AI having

 

[Ron Texas]

These LLM's have a long way to go. Maybe the term "hallucinate" is a bit too colorful, but the AI's often are wrong or turning out garbage.

Wondering if you asked AI a question if vinyl or digital sounds better. And why.

So i did put this question forward to ChatGPT

Got this back:

The question of whether vinyl or digital sounds better is a highly debated topic among audiophiles, and there is no definitive answer. Some people prefer the warm, rich, and full sound of vinyl records, while others prefer the crisp, clear, and precise sound of digital recordings.
Vinyl records have a unique analog sound that is created by the physical grooves in the record and the way the needle picks up and amplifies the sound. This sound can be perceived as warmer and more organic than digital recordings, which can be perceived as sterile or artificial in comparison.
On the other hand, digital recordings offer several advantages over vinyl, such as greater dynamic range, less surface noise, and greater accuracy in reproducing the original sound. Digital recordings are also more convenient to store, transport, and play, as they do not require physical storage space and are easily accessible on devices such as computers, smartphones, and streaming services.
Ultimately, the choice between vinyl and digital comes down to personal preference and what qualities you prioritize in your listening experience. Some people enjoy the nostalgic, tactile experience of handling vinyl records and appreciate the unique sound that they offer. Others prioritize convenience, portability, and the ability to access a vast library of music instantly.

The needle amplifies the sound?

 

[Tks]

Great title lol

 

[fpitas]

The needle amplifies the sound?

That's the quandary we now find ourselves in. AI said it, so it must be true. I'm off to have a nervous breakdown...

 

[Blumlein 88]

Here is a new one to try out. Said to hallucinate less. Link to website for use in the first paragraph. I think UK and US only for the time being.

New ChatGPT rival, Claude 2, launches for open beta testing

US and UK users can converse with Claude 2 through the Anthropic website.

The might use bi polar devices… which could be a start.

PNP or NPN?

Oh I'm sure in the future they'll run on quantum computers and everything will be all entangled.

Everybody thinks it will create bio-weapons and few think it will cure cancer. Both are very difficult propositions that take a lot of testing and forulations that machines don't do. I think it could unsnarl traffic and uncover tax and medicare cheats, things like that. It took a world war and richest nation to create the atomic bomb. There is too much money to made from profitable things. Its biggest danger is the media and propaganda and F-- N---- is doing a pretty good job at that without it.

They did this in Australia, in a project called RoboDebt.
The former Prime Minister was one who signed off on it, and there is talk about him being potentially up on criminal chargers.

That does not help families who broke apart, nor can it bring back those that suicided.

Instead of making an AI for tax, why don’t they just simplify tax law and tax calculation?
I think that the UK does some of that??

The whole tax deal predates when Christ was in diapers by a long shot.
