Soooo, it's like a little scar that nobody will notice?

Fun fact: The US is always at war.

Hahaha. Most here making excuses why they don't read manuals.

Ah yes. Hair, and bdw raping children. Can't have a day without genocide and paedophilia.

The current limitations of LLMs are built in how they fundementaly work. We would need something completely new. That is a fact.

Honestly the thought of med students using them to pass exams scares me.

Sure, use them to replace CEOs of some unimportant companies like facebook. But they are not for jobs where other peoples lives are at stake. They inherently halucinate (like many CEOs). It is built in in how they work.

It's called RAG, and it's the only "right" way to get any accurate information out of an LLM. And even it is not perfect. Not by far.

You can use it without an LLM. It's basically keyword search. You still have to know what you are asking, so you have to study. Study without an imprecise LLM that can feed you false information that sounds plausible.

There are other problems with current LLMs that make them problematic. Sure you will catch onto those problems if you use them, and you still have to know more about the topic then them.

They are a fun toy and ok for low-stakes knowledge (ex cooking recipies). But as a tool in serious work they are a rubber ducky at best.

PS What the guy couple comments above said about sources, that's probably about web search. Even when an LLM reads the sources it can missinterpet them easily. Like how apple removed their summaries because they were often just wrong.

It's not just far. LLMs inherently make stuff up (aka hallucinate). There is no cure for that.

There are some (non llm, but neural network) tools that can be somewhat useful, but a real doctor needs to do the job anyway because all of them have various chances to be wrong.

Hmmm. Sure. But I find people don't understand how much one kWh really is. A 500W drill can twist your arm. Imagine yourself twisting someones arm with all you got for a whole hour. Or idk. Either way it's a lot of energy.

And then you think about how much more energy a car uses then a human does. And then you find out about hot water...

You know Linus acts like an ass, but Balmer is an ass, and Jobs was a horrible person?

And google is amoral in general.

I'd rather side with the rude for a reason crowd, then the polite to take advantage of you crowd.

That said I use linux for a long time now, and only recently would I recommend it to others. And even that not always.

I'm using a ps2 keyboard because the usb one died.

You say military because that is what you know about.
