lol, "if only someone had warned us about this sort of thing?!"

@Lazarou
So … what’s the problem? It functions exactly as designed!

@Lazarou “We ran into some trouble setting up an office in West Fobispa. Turned out there was no such place. The whole state of Warmington was a hallucination. That was half of our profits the last fiscal year!”

@su_liam such incredible faith they put into a machine that they wouldn't put into another human being

[agasramirez@freeradical.zone]

@f @Lazarou sure but now add that anybody not using AI is threatened with being fired anddd the company is refusing to implement a strategy or spend any money on AI tools-- it's just "use AI."

@Lazarou

I know this probably makes me a terrible person but I honestly can't _wait_ for the lawsuits.

Added bonus laughs if they use AI to write their legal briefs.

@Lazarou I saw a few times in my paid for AI not only data is false but also math - for example the inability to convert base2 and base10, or the inability to differentiate meaning in small and large letters in (throughput) calculations - KB Kb. Basically corrupting the web with millions of "small" errors that humans mostly recognise.

@glent@aus.social @MugsysRapSheet @Lazarou No. that would be the "normalized answer" and not necessarily correct at all. Just "average".

@Lazarou "double checking" and "accident".
EPIC.
seems like today double checking is some kind of failure

@agasramirez @Lazarou all CEOs went to the same "cool kids" CEO school.

@fred @Lazarou I can't find it neither. The user exist on Reddit, but his profile does not mention that specific contribution.

[t8g@piaille.fr]

@JdeBP @fred @Lazarou merci !

@Lazarou As a CEO (which I am not) I would be happy, if there were still persons in my company, who are not totally relying on LLMs.

[masek@infosec.exchange]

@Lazarou I have my doubts about this post.

I do not doubt that AI can and will produce fake insights. A very easy way to get that is to ask an AI questions whose answers are not in the numbers you’re feeding it. Or your questions are heavily biased towards things you want to hear („Show me how campaign X increased sale“).

But unless you’re completely ignorant of your own business, you will notice it quickly. Especially if it goes on for 3 months. I deal with a lot of managers and every single one of them looks through raw data. Every system (with or without AI) is faulty and they fine comb every bit that influences their salary relevant metrics.

[flxtr@social.tchncs.de]

@Lazarou I don't get how LLMs are needed for analytics? This field is basically about counting numbers, statistics magic and visualization. Isn't it?

I mean, asking an LLM what kind of statistical sorcery would be needed to measure this and that and ask it for a small python script will probably work (if you double check everything). But what did they do, to come to a situation where an LLM makes up data for months?

@Lazarou Completely deserved

@MugsysRapSheet @Lazarou Garbage in Garbage out is such an old principle in computing and yet it's only now we're really seeing it's effects.

[agasramirez@freeradical.zone]

@flxtr @Lazarou three weeks ago someone got fired because he admitted he didnt know how to use AI for his job (he was a server guy)
