It's actually less fatiguing than interacting with humans, who never admit they're wrong or agree to look at things from a fresh perspective.

However the humans who have LLMs justifying their opinions, often become far more fatiguing to interact with.

Even if we don't use LLMs, they are still transforming our lives.

... that predicts accurately how the historical event did play out

Oh yes, that would be the first test case.

> sometimes best to just let people continue being wrong for the sake of being social

There's almost no time when it's better to try to convince somebody they're wrong. It won't help you, and it won't work anyway, so it won't help them either.

Sure if you're somebody's doctor, and even then you have to pick your battles.

I've tried this and I'm not sure its explanation is useful. It wasn't there and it only knows what I tell it, so it's missing a lot of context clues.

And I'm probably less autistic than the average HNer.

> It's also a nice illustration of how LLMs screw up everything they touch

And you'll be shocked what the kids have been doing with databases and API calls

Doesn't OpenAI get mad if you ask cybersecurity questions and force you to upload a government ID, otherwise they'll silently route you to a less capable model?

Anthropic has started to ask for IDs for use of their products period

I don't like that trend. I get why they're doing it, but I don't like it

Are you in the UK? I've not had this happen to me (I'm not in the UK) so I'm wondering if the Online Safety Act has affected this, as it has with other products.

I am from the UK and have not had this happen to me (Yet? perhaps)

Fingers crossed!

I don't like this trend, but I get why they require it. The alternative seems to just ban cybersecurity-related questions.

They flatout gate any API access of the main models behind Persona ID verification. Entirely.

This doesn’t bother me one bit.

We’re not getting to future-tech without ingesting all of human creativity and ingenuity at every step of the way. Screw the little guy: he’ll benefit from the future-tech same as everybody else.

Or not, it doesn't really matter and nobody seems to care. This isn't for the good of humanity, there's no indication that it is

Yup, a lot of these AI songs are just plain good: https://youtu.be/nwBDmUdX8Io

If you heard these on the radio while working at a grocery store in 1983 you'd be begging your local music store to sell them to you.

To me this AI-generated "slop" is much more enjoyable than human-generated slop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPAg7ODubB4

Where "slop" = "what can I put out that I don't love but that people will click on?"

Sorry, but that music is really boring. I certainly would not have bought it in 1983. But, you're right that the average person on the street probably can't tell the difference.

Music out there in the real world runs in clusters and communities that form around real world places where people go to be together and make and share things. Its so much more colorful and interesting than you can imagine. But, it is admittedly just a small slice of the weirdest and most creative and crazy people who participate in those communities. For everyone else music is just a recording that appears out of thin air in their car stereo without context and the glossiest product is the one they pick.

What do you think of this?
