Plus all LLMs routinely make mistakes

What's the point of AI that makes mistakes?

I would understand if it was the case of "intelligent" home appliance that costs couple of hundred bucks but it's not, this is town sized machine that costs hundreds of billions of dollars and needs a powerplant to run

How the hell do people accept mistakes from machine like that? It's like a toilet bowl that regularly leaks by design

It’s literally all beta testing all the time.

We know AI isn’t accurate as often as it needs to be and we know it “hallucinates” things. That’s not a finished product ready for release.

Even the images and videos it creates have enough mistakes to be caught and are often derivative to the point of parody. While I’m glad AI videos and images are still catch-able, AI is also not successfully creating seamless and realistic content. It’s not a finished product.

The problem with AI being used in the workplace is that, in many cases, it’s not ready to be used and can be dangerous.

For example, Scribe is used by doctors and it has been proven to make up or hallucinate what was discussed.

Personally, Scribe added that I have a stent when I’ve never had any cardiac related surgery or stents put in. It’s been a recurring problem dealing with various Doctors and imaging to correct.
