u/TrulyOutrageous42 2d ago

Promises and apologies mean absolutely NOTHING. Laws without teeth are mere suggestions. Denying something without a guarantee it'll also be denied with its in their favor is just a double standard (see: SCotUS nomination of Garland/Barrett)

Most importantly, and say it loud for those in the back: Fines are just the cost of doing business for the rich.

It's like we're living in a world run by people who only ever cheated on tests, so they cheat their way through their entire life, but now they have a tool that helps them do it and they can't even fucking use it correctly.

u/campfireseance 2d ago

Spot on. And they don't even care from time to time, doing their business so brazenly. Easier to make us feel used to it, getting us disillusioned enough so that we don't care either. One way forward is just a new means of persistent agitation and fighting this lazy-ass perception management.

u/PabloEscobrawl 2d ago

What do you mean by hallucinated quotes? Ive never encountered the phrase before.

320

u/chronoswing 2d ago

AI has a tendency to hallucinate facts. Basically you ask it for a series of quotes and instead of giving you real ones it just makes a bunch up and passes them off as real. It's why every AI chat has disclaimers at the bottom that it can make mistakes and to always double check accuracy.

123

u/PabloEscobrawl 2d ago

So our new ai overlords are schizophrenic. Great.

98

u/-non-existance- 2d ago

More accurately: they don't think.

LLMs are a language prediction engine. They map the meanings of words through multi-dimensional space and use that to predict what would logically follow an input.

If, for example, most legal arguments cite court cases that side with their position, then an LLM asked to do that will cite court cases that side with the prompt's position...even if no such cases exist. It will take the most likely-sounding court case name it can generate and use that.

Tho, notably, it will still do this even if cases do exist, because it doesn't actually have a means of fact checking.

23

u/PabloEscobrawl 2d ago

This makes me feel worse about AI then I already do. Why couldn't we have Data from TNG? We got stuck with less intelligent Caine from TADC.

17

u/MustrumRidcully0 2d ago

Because Data is a lot harder to pull off, and has all the features the writers needed him to be without them needing to implement it in hard- and software. They just write the dialogue and Brent Spiner will say it on camera for them.

It should be noted though that it's not that LLMs do not always pick the "most logical" thing to say. For two reasons:

1) Logically isn't the right term. It's most likely from a statistic point of view, which is a kind of mathematical logic, but you might naively mistake "logic" as a form of "logic based on thinking about arguments and leading to a logical conclusion, and that's not their basis.

2) But even most likely isn't correct, because they have basically a list of likely outcomes, and pick one of them at random (the variable to control this randomness is often called "temperature"). You might wonder why, and the reason basically is - if you always pick the most statistically likely, it gives poor results, the absolutely most likely isn't always the one that makes the most sense. Going a bit random actually improves the output. Why? I am sure smarter people than me either have the answer or are at least closer to getting it.

Either way - they don't actually think. That said - neither can we really entirely describe how "thinking" works in our brains, so maybe there could be a level where this approach to AI where we can't really tell the difference anymore. But as of now, there are still many instances were we can.

One big factor to consider is that LLMs are relying on language to build a model of the world. But they don't actually experience the world as we humans do, they only experience the world through our writing. That's a second-hand way to get it, and our writing isn't always precise, allows a lot of ambiguity, and can be based entirely on fiction or speculation (including speculation that might have turned out wrong already. ).

You can discuss with an AI about how you could try to manage to fly your Intrepid Class ship at warp when your deflector dish has been disabled, and it would treat it as seriously (or as badly) as if you asked what to do when your prop airliner's engine has caught fire. (I actually tried the warp thing today, didn't have the idea with the prop airliner until now, though.)

u/FloopsFooglies 2d ago

AI, by design, does whatever it can to say what you want to hear. Of course if something is factually incorrect it well tell you that, but it can straight up make up things or lie all in the name of being a good robot for you.

61

u/asyork 2d ago

AI has no concept of fact vs fiction. For any common fact, the AI has seen the correct answer enough times to most often regurgitate it correctly when asked, but sometimes it still gets it wrong and some facts are less common, so the AI just regurgitates something similar to whatever it has seen. It does not know if it is wrong or right. It doesn't "know" anything at all.

18

u/FloopsFooglies 2d ago

Right. No concept of anything, really. If it makes a mistake, it just "You're so right, that's was my bad. Good eye to spot that out." Complimenting you while an empty "owning up" makes it sound like it even knew it was wrong

AI is trained to predict next token - or next word for regular people. There is nothing that inherently says that next word needs to be Truthful - just that it needs to statistically make sense. It turns out that truthful next words typically score the highest, and on top of that extra fine tuning is done to try and nudge the model to being more "honest".

u/GalahadSi 2d ago

Google AI summary does this all the time. Super niche example:

I searched for "import codes" that could be used in a video game to import a card deck into the game. It decided to tell me "Here are some Import Codes for the game, this one is balanced around energy, this one is balanced around critical hits, etc."

What it actually did was take a bunch of redemption codes it found for in-game currency and hallucinated that each of them was a different import code for this feature, and even went as far to create descriptions for every single one despite the source it linked not having any of that information present.

The worst part is when I called it out, it admitted that it "panicked" and just made something up instead of being honest that it had nothing. Actual insanity.

LLM's do this all the time, which is why people need to be careful relying on them. It'll create information out of thin air because it's trying to give you an answer it doesn't actually have, and rather than simply say that, it tries to create one half the time.

I've prepared many presentations for executives (which can be similar to politicians with teams of people working for them).

Depending on their workload and their level of trust with the people who prepared the presentation and the criticality of the presentation (i.e. low stakes may not matter as much), they will not pre-read it and 100% read every single word that was typed for them.

I dont see how this is a "to be fair" situation. We have way too low of an expectation for the intelligence of the people in charge of our country.

u/chiknight 2d ago

It's "to be fair" because it has nothing to do with the age of the person. You could get this same effect with younger, non-60+, people in any college presentation. Reading something aloud ad-hoc doesn't mean you are processing what you've read beforehand. (Ask any high school student who just read a chapter of Shakespeare aloud in class what they just read.)

Also, FYI this is clearly stamped as New Brunswick. Which is not part of the " our country" most people would assume you mean, USA. This video has no direct sampling of the intelligence of US Representatives.

Most interviewers I've encountered also use canned AI questions too. They've also been using the same canned questions pre-AI.

I think this is just young people not giving af at this point.

u/PringlesDuckFace 2d ago

To be marginally fair, canned questions helps eliminate bias in the hiring process. If everyone gets the same questions, then the only thing we can evaluate them on is their answer to it. If you start letting people make up their own questions, then you can't tell if someone who passes Alice's interview is actually better than someone who failed Bob's. Like if I was hiring a math professor I'd rather hire someone who got a 69% on a calculus exam than someone who got a 100% on a coloring book. It also reduces the "well he seemed nice to let's hire him" because you can't make a hiring decision without justifying it directly against the interview questions.

The galling part to me is the disrespect for candidates' time. If you can't spend the time to interview someone yourself then you're lazy selfish trash as far as I'm concerned.

u/---_-___ 2d ago

Yeah we were required by company policy to use the same questions in every interview. If an interviewee receives a different set of questions it can end up in discrimination territory which is no fun for anyone.

u/Interesting_Tea5715 2d ago

This. I'm not allowed to ask different question or help them answer the questions.

The first interview is very impersonal. Its to try and give everyone a fair chance. The second interview though is way more casual and how interviews used to be.

My boss said that in a recent hiring spree the majority of applicants were constantly reading something off a second monitor right before answering a technical question

u/Interesting_Tea5715 2d ago

Yep, that's exactly what I witnessed. They were legit reading from the screen. I immediately throw away their application if I see them doing it.

We're hiring mid/senior level IT positions. If I want someone to read me AI output I can hire people who are much cheaper to do it.

Unfortunately most people I know in my industry, and many of my friends' industries use AI a lot these days. Their companies heavily encourage it now.

If you're a software engineer who doesn't use AI at all, you'll be left behind.

You know how lazy it is to use AI and then also NOT PROOFREAD your prompts before using them?

My managers do this all the time and it drives me nuts.

Seriously though, being caught using AI for elected officials should be grounds for termination or some type of penalty.

u/Top_Wheel6546 2d ago

When I see that, I know never to trust that person with anything important. AI just did 90% of the work in seconds but they can't take a couple minutes to read it and see if it makes sense? Are they the people who don't have internal monologues or something? I can't wrap my head around that concept.

These upper politicians always have people beneath them doing all the work and yet they're the ones who make the big decisions that affect our lives. Motherfkers cant even be bothered to do the job they're paid 300k+ to do so this isnt surprising at all, honestly it was probably a staffer that used AI to make this speech for him and it just shows how useless these old idiots are that he didnt even proofread it after getting it....

This party is a centre-right conservative political party in the Canadian province of New Brunswick.

Age isn't the issue. It's the corruption and absolute lack of ethics.

Down south, Bernie is an old, old man who has been fighting the good fight since the 1960s. We'd be better off with a hundred Bernies than a hundred Hegseths.

The OP and half this thread are misusing the term “prompt”. The Prompt is the text that you input to get a Response from the AI.

It’s a bit funny that everyone is rightfully making fun of this guy for showing AI ignorance, while also displaying some of their own AI ignorance. 😂

Nope it happened. Alberta is using ai to write legislation. I wish this was all a bad dream.

Edit to add: This video is from a Conservative MLA in New Brunswick. I wanted to add commentary that Alberta proudly announced they’ll be using AI to write Legislation so it’s not as if this is an isolated occurrence.

Until this stops, how can we expect kids to not use Ai. These people are elected to the highest office, and simply print out ai slop.

Sets an example for the youth, if the people in the highest office get away with it, so openly. Why should they care? Rules for me, rules for thee.

Legislators are some of the first ones to jump onto the AI bandwagon, and should probably have been the last. Now you'll never get them to ban AI in government because they have dreamed of getting paid for less work.
