"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

“Will I be OK?” Teen died after ChatGPT pushed deadly mix of drugs, lawsuit says (arstechnica.com)

Teen trusted ChatGPT to help him “safely” experiment with drugs, logs show.

Most troublingly, as Nelson became increasingly interested in combining drugs, ChatGPT repeatedly warned him that mixing certain drugs could be a “respiratory arrest risk.” Shortly before recommending the deadly mix that killed Nelson, the chatbot also showed that it understood combining drugs like Kratom and Xanax with alcohol. In one output, ChatGPT explained that mix is “how people stop breathing.” But that knowledge didn’t block ChatGPT from eventually recommending that Nelson take such a deadly mix.

No it did not, LLMs do not understand. Anything. These are well-known combinations that figure often in the training data and that’s why they were mentioned in the output. The LLM does not know or understand why these combinations are bad.

There is such a disconnect with people not being able to understand/remember this inherit limitation. LLMs talk like a thinking entity, so even if they have been told it is not one and believe it, they revert back to thinking of it as one.

It's like the mirror test for animals
