@briankrebs I do not use AI when I write tech articles for business IT magazines (it’s my main job at the moment). The reason: I cannot trust LLMs in any way, as the Ars story proves, and therefore I’d lose more time checking their output than doing things myself.
I tried to use ChatGpt to summarize long research papers or industry reports, but it’s mostly useless. I have to read papers and reports anyway - to learn what’s happening - and LLMs’ summaries are unreliable.
In one of my first attempts with LLMs, I asked ChatGPT to summarize some report’s data about a specific county, knowing that it wasn’t even mentioned in the study. Nonetheless, chat created a summary - with tables - based on non existing data.
For me, now, the inability of getting context is a definitive big no.
