AIs don't just hallucinate, they have shared hallucinations...

Arxiv.org | Shared Imagination: LLMs Hallucinate Alike

Despite the recent proliferation of large language models (LLMs), their training recipes -- model architecture, pre-training data and optimization algorithm -- are often very similar. This naturally raises the question of the similarity among the resulting models. In this paper, we propose a novel setting, imaginary question answering (IQA), to better understand model similarity. In IQA, we ask one model to generate purely imaginary questions (e.g., on completely made-up concepts in physics) and prompt another model to answer. Surprisingly, despite the total fictionality of these questions, all models can answer each other's questions with remarkable success, suggesting a "shared imagination space" in which these models operate during such hallucinations. We conduct a series of investigations into this phenomenon and discuss implications on model homogeneity, hallucination, and computational creativity.

AI Hype: “Billions of dollars will be incinerated” Business Analysts Warn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljztbcdzkeo
{Sabine Hossenfelder | 25 July 2024}

We’ve all heard how artificial intelligence will supposedly bring giant boosts in productivity, take our jobs, and end humanity, but some business insiders think that AI isn’t going to have remotely as big of an impact as others have said. Indeed, they say that billions of dollars will go to waste.

 
TW: If things like Eldritch abominations bother you, this is probably not the video for you.

Those who think they are ready to play mindf-- games have no idea the fire they are really playing with...

 
Oh yeah, AI is literally going to take over the world. It's way smarter and more creative than humans... :rolleyes:

The very same people telling us that they could not program before LLMs are the ones who keep confidently informing us that "all jobs are over", "human thinking is obsolete", etc. Well, since y'all admit you are so dumb, why the hell do you keep lecturing the rest of us about how obsolete we supposedly are? Speak for yourselves. You are thrilled that you can program now that there are LLM programming-assistants. Good for you! I'm genuinely happy for you! I also find LLMs useful, and they have helped me figure out how to solve problems that, without the LLM, would simply have been too much of a headache to bother with. Could I have done it without the LLM? Sure, it probably would have taken 10-20 hours worth of effort digging through obscure documentation and I would eventually have figured it out. But that's 10-20 hours I could spend working on other, more important things. Being able to just ask the LLM, "How do you write a Hello-World in XYZ language?" shaves that previously painful and laborious task down to 15 minutes. Huge boost! Amazing! But human-obsoleting it is not!! I hate to be rude, but there comes a point when it's time to call a spade a spade: If you think that LLMs are going to obsolete human thinking, that's because you're a moron. Rather than loudly proclaiming your idiocy to the world by informing us that LLMs have made human thought obsolete, you should follow the old adage: "better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." Enjoy the benefits of LLMs and shut up with the non-stop black-pilling and doomerism... it's tiresome and juvenile in the extreme.

Bingo.

In other news, the honeymoon period is coming to an end...

gpt sucks [Reddit]

I have heard current-gen AI called "a tractor for the mind" and I think that's a great way to think about it. A tractor can replace the manual labor of 100 men, or more. But a tractor does not replace the farmer himself. Somebody's still got to go out there and run the tractor, maintain it, configure it with the proper implements, and so on, and so forth. And not only do you need muscles for that, you need a brain. And even though AI is useful for tasks that are not manual-labor (muscles), they are still manual effort tasks. But somebody's still got to do the setup, monitoring, teardown, and so on, and so forth. Obviously, we want to automate everything that can be automated (with an economic net-benefit), but the 2001:Space Odyssey nerds need to back off the hype. In fact, AI is currently beyond hype, it's in an outright mania. People going crazier over this stuff than my generation did over Reebok pump shoes. Some people just need chill out, seriously...
