I've been saying at work for a while that "AI" is massively overrated and overhyped, and I just tried this. Not with guns and battles, but a subject I actually know something about, and it was amazing. Thanks, I will be suggesting this to everyone I know who thinks AI is anything more than a clever looking LLM.

There's an old Charles Babbage quote that I recently realized is far more relevant to LLMs than it should be:

Charles Babbage posted:

On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], — "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ...I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

And that's what we're seeing with with ChatGPT, Copilot, Bard, and all the other generative AI bullshit. They're full of wrong figures but people think they'll magically give the right answers anyway.
