This may be an unpopular opinnion.. Let me get this straight. We get big tech corporations to read the articles of the web and then summarize to me, the user the info I am looking for. Sounds cool, right? Yeah, except that why in the everloving duck would I trust Google, Microsoft, Apple or Meta to give me the correct info, unbiased and not curated? The past experiences all show that they will not do the right thing. So why is everyone so OK with what's going on? I just heard that Google may intend to remove sources. Great, so it's like trust me bro.

LLM just autocomplete on steroid. If they say it more, they lie.

If you want uncensored info, run local model. But most do not care or even know. Just how most people are with tech.

Uncensored ais are the best. I can ask them all the immature sex questions I want and never get banned.

I mean, sure, as long as you're keeping the data locally. Otherwise, yikes.

Which model are you using?

LLM just autocomplete on steroid.

Funny you should say this. I only have anecdotal evidence from me and a few friends, but the general consensus is that autocomplete and predictive text are much worse now than they used to be.

because of ai stuff. For these kinds of things, they are perfectly happy to advertise unprecedented 99% accuracy rates, when in reality, non ai tools are held to much higher standard (mainly that they are expected to work). If the code I wrote had a consistent, perpetual 1% failure rate (even after fixing it, multiple times), I'd have been fired long ago.

If anyone wants a great source on exactly how chat GPT is essentially autocomplete on steroids, Steven Wolfram did a great write-up. It's pretty technical. https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-is-chatgpt-doing-and-why-does-it-work/
