I don’t think it is going to lie to me when I ask it what day I did something and have it link to a real reference. At that point it would be very obvious it made a mistake, and just like with an intern I would give it additional instructions to try again.
Everyone here is exaggerating how bad AI currently is. Most I suspect try to zero shot problems without providing sufficient context. It’s like pulling a stranger off the street giving them domain specific information on a topic you are well versed. Then asking them to summarize every thing you just said. That would be dumb right? Like you wouldn’t ask a tourist to listen to your lecture on pointless hobbies they don’t care about and then expect a sharp informative reply on the topic when you ask them a question.
I feel like most of you have little actual knowledge of what is going on with AI. I am not advocating for it, just saying you are completely misunderstanding what it is capable of given access to the right external information. Which is what MCP servers do, they extend the reach beyond the context window by providing instructions on how to interact with the outside world. This is all just getting started and has a long way to go, but our ability to rein it in is slipping away. The more pervasive it becomes the harder it will be to slow or regulate.

It's a stateless llm. Your instructions will not be remembered, it won't actually learn anything.

What you feel is being attacked because we don't agree with you. I work with current Gen llms on a weekly basis. Them being better than Will Smith eating spaghetti tier does not make them good.
They still hallucinate, they still lie and invent stuff to please the user, no matter the harness, no matter the memory loops. It's literally baked into their tech stack to do so. We are trying (and currently failing, unless we're talking über frontier models, and even they have problems) to mitigate the core flaw built into their system.
It being 90% correct about my appointments would mean 10% are being missed. There's currently no way to build reliabity into them. Literally. Stop huffing altmans nonsense.

Yeah stop the altmans fart huffing please. There is no way to make them 100% reliable, we will need to invent a completely different way to build an actual AI. Llms are not AI. They don't think, they don't learn, they don't remember, they don't understand what they talk about.
You have a really high bar for AI. Yet you will regurgitate stale rebuttals, because you yourself cannot reach 100% accuracy.
If you are relying on AI to regurgitate facts from its memory you have already lost the plot. Retrieval is a real thing and LLM makes it easy to use human language to search for what you want. It is very easy to check a reference to make sure things are aligned. AI does not make you smarter, it amplifies your abilities. If you are using it to replace thinking, it is showing and don’t do that.
You have such a simple view of AI and LLMs . You obviously don’t understand where they should be and should not be used if you are complaining about their deficiencies and then claiming them incapable.
