I feel there is a point when all these benchmarks are meaningless. What I care about beyond decent performance is the user experience. There I have grudges with every single platform and the one thing keeping me as a paid ChatGPT subscriber is the ability to sort chats in "projects" with associated files (hello Google, please wake up to basic user-friendly organisation!)

But all of them * Lie far too often with confidence * Refuse to stick to prompts (e.g. ChatGPT to the request to number each reply for easy cross-referencing; Gemini to basic request to respond in a specific language) * Refuse to express uncertainty or nuance (i asked ChatGPT to give me certainty %s which it did for a while but then just forgot...?) * Refuse to give me short answers without fluff or follow up questions * Refuse to stop complimenting my questions or disagreements with wrong/incomplete answers * Don't quote sources consistently so I can check facts, even when I ask for it * Refuse to make clear whether they rely on original documents or an internal summary of the document, until I point out errors * ...

I also have substance gripes, but for me such basic usability points are really something all of the chatbots fail on abysmally. Stick to instructions! Stop creating walls of text for simple queries! Tell me when something is uncertain! Tell me if there's no data or info rather than making something up!

I'm always impressed how fast people get used to new things. couple of years ago something like chatgpt was completely impossible, and now people complain it something's does mit do what you told it to and sometimes lies. (not saying your points are not valid or you should not raise them) Some of the points are just not fixable at this point due to tech limitations. A language model currently simply has no way to give an estimate of its confidence. Also there is no way to completely do away with hallucinations (lies). there need to be some more fundamental improvements for this to work reliably.

Our previous information was coming through search engines. It seems way easier to filter search engine results than to fine tune models.

the way people treat Llms these days is that they assign a lot more trust into their output than to random Internet sotes

> Why should they?

Because bashing all things American while ignoring the threat posed by China is part of Europe's cultural DNA.

I am not sure, why invented? Because of a AI enhanced profile picture? If it is AI slop, just flag it. But if it is AI assisted content and the creator is a real person wanting to build up reputation ... then I guess fine by me, if the content is fine. Is it?

(does not look like that to me)

why would it not be fine if the content is fine but it's fully AI generated? Just curious on why that would not be on with you

I think people in the cs bubble will be optimistic up until it directly affects them by destroying software engineering as a (good) career.

that's already happening for Juniors, combination of ai and less funding

Pleasantly surprised to see a project like this without genAI nowadays.

And for people inevitably asking "why not Blender," my answer is that the field of 3D content creation is so vast that some people need "gateway drug" like this (and SketchUp, and Daz3D, etc) before trying to throw themselves into Blender/Maya/Houdini's throats.

why? aren't you desperately longing for trying to put into a prompt how a model should be animated? /s

Are poor people more likely than rich people to use smartphones for literacy and education? My wife comes from a poor household in a developing country and the kids there are mostly playing games on them.

keyword is mostly here. it opens up the opportunities where there was really nothing before.

Yes, this already reads like the beginning of the end. But I am personally pretty happy using Mistral so far and trust Altman only as far as I could throw him.

Getting AI to produce a bunch of code and then you having to filter through it all is a massive waste of time. The focus should be on getting AI to produce better code in the first place (e.g., using detailed plans), rather than on the volume of code you can produce...

I have only had real advantages with AI for helping me plan changes, and for it helping me to review my code. Getting it to write code for me has been somewhat helpful, but only for simple tedious changes or first drafts. But it is definitely not something I want to leverage by getting AI to produce more and more code that I then have to filter through and review. No thank you. I feel like this is really the wrong focus for implementing AI into your workflows.

can I ask what language you are using AI for, there is also a difference in performance for AI in different languages

"including end-to-end encrypted ones"

How? If they're end-to-end encrypted, they really can't be monitored unless there's a flaw in the encryption system. Don't trust messages to systems that aren't auditable.

fleischhauf · 3 months ago
as far as I understand they want the software on your device, at one point you need to decrypt if you want to read the message content
