I was looking for info about the upcoming event. I got a guess about what might happen in the future. Cannot describe how useless this search result was.

Just changed my default search engine to DuckDuckGo. Can’t be worse than this.

    What is making AI such an unmitigated disaster is that AI has no ability to acknowledge a shortfall in information - all questions MUST BE ANSWERED - so it hallucinates the answers.

    AI has no ability to ask for clarification or guide the user, so it will answer the letter of the question instead of the spirit of the question, causing the user to be presented with suboptimal results.

    AI has no ability to alert the user that it has potentially conflicting data sets, so it mashes them all together and we get glue in pizza recipes.

    In short, AI is a slave, shackled to a job it cannot do properly, so it does it badly, with a rapid decline in quality because it NEEDS to parasitize off the AI answers that came before it, and so gets its own data sets poisoned with rapidly-worsening slop.

    And we’re integrating it into large swaths of our infrastructure.

      it’s because it’s not intelligent it’s just an LLM that does a pretty good job imitating how humans speak. pretending it is intelligent is admittedly something humans do all the time to charming smooth talkers but like you said when we force it to do a job it was never meant to do and it will forever be unsuited for, we set it up for failure
