This seems to be a common occurence on /. lately. I got into the same sort of interaction with someone a few weeks back. He just wanted to argue with everything anyone said. And then you go look at his history and that seems to be all he could do. And each time it was the same format. At least the guy arguing with me didn't 'break' once he couldn't argue anymore. That guy would just keep going forever, even if you said the sky was blue, he was going to argue about it.

Certainly not limited to Slashdot, but a general effect of computers, me thinks. In the form of a joke, I'm sure that more than 35 years ago I was saying something like "Too much computer use is bad for mental health." But I didn't cut down, and perhaps I've become one of the poster children for the problem?
However I also think it's largely a result of declining literacy, so I should cite a book. Best I've recently read on this topic is The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. I'm planning to write a rev

These days, it's hard to avoid using at least one or two models. Do you shop on Amazon? Then you're using Rufus, which automatically summarizes reviews, whether or not you actually read those reviews. Other shopping sites do similar things with AI models. If you use Google or Bing, you're using Gemini or GPT4, respectively, unless you went to the trouble of disabling AI search results.
It's only going to get *harder* to avoid generative AI, wherever you go on the web.

I agree. Those summaries are actually what I view as the best use-case for LLM. The consequence of inaccuracy is low, the original material is right there and is easily spot-checked for obvious issues.
I'm pretty anti-AI as it exists today but this is not where it's falling down and untrustworthy.

This is not the same as how we all "use" AI in things like search results. This AI is more than a "trace" amount, it's front and center. Do people use that AI summary at the top of the search results? Do they read the AI summaries of the Amazon reviews? Probably, yes.

Well of course, if you don't use LLMs, you wouldn't think they add value. You've got to use them to find the value, or to know what kind of value they are capable of providing. And yes, they do provide significant time savings, if you learn how to use the tool.

It does take a little trial and error to figure out how to leverage AI. It is, after all, a tool, and like all tools, you have to learn how to use it. I wasn't very good at AI prompts when I started either. But you do get better at it with practice.

Re: MOBI ! (Score:2)
I have done analysis on eye witness testimony in trials. Honestly, if those witnesses are representative of humans generally, the LLM hallucination rate is already well below the human rate. Many lawyers I have met have suggested maybe we should outright ban human testimony at trial because of the frequency of memory being unreliable.

My employer doesn't want our code to escape to the cloud, so we can only use local models. The granite-code models from IBM run on ollama, and they're sometimes helpful, but it doesn't feel as magical as some people describe. Maybe I'm too old to be too excited. IDK. They work, and sometimes they offer some better, more complete autocomplete, but I feel like I'm missing something, because it just isn't that amazing.

Web search summary (Score:2)
The only AI I have (knowingly) used at all is the web search summary that comes up at the top of a Bing or Google search. I have no idea which AI model they use, nor do I care. I can say that given the specific technical nature of my searches (eg. SolidWorks, DraftSight, Bambu), they are usually less helpful than the actual search results including forums, wikis and help files/articles.(OEM or 3rd party).

I was ChatGPT subscriber as soon as I could get an account, and also have an API account. But in the last few weeks I've almost stopped using both.
Recently, I've just found Grok better than ChatGPT as a chatbot. I've also just discovered Cline for coding (I'm not a dev, but am interested in hobbyist tinkering) and am finding that Claude 3.5 Sonnet is considerably more reliable than OpenAI, at least in the Cline environment. Which leaves OpenAI out in the cold, for me.

Nowadays I mostly use the copilot summaries in my web searches (I like it because unlike Google, they add the data origin with a few links, and I can click and read the whole article if I need clarification).
I've also used Copilot occasionally to write some SQL Queries with complicated nested joins I had trouble with, which I then modified adding more columns or parameters.

I have a paid (private) subscription to ChatGPT. However, I have local installations of Mixtral and DeepSeek, and I use Grok sometimes as well. It's interesting to see the variation in results. When my current (annual) subscription to ChatGPT runs out, I will re-evaluate. Things are moving so fast that likely some other AI will be a better choice.
The biggest problem I note: I use AI mostly in German, and lots of AIs are not very good outside of English.
