I must be in the minority, but I treat anyone who immediately agrees with me with suspicion.

As a frequent ChatGPT user, I am often deeply skeptical of its answers. I'll often ask the question inverted to see if it gives me the same answer. It was pretty bad for a while, especially with gpt3, but it's actually be getting a lot better with gpt5. It will actually disagree with me now. Pretty impressive.

I'm sure this will be treated as "growing pains" and swept under the rug, though. Honestly, I'm constantly shocked that the human brain functions at all. The fact that most people are able to think coherently at all is a miracle. So you're inevitably going to get crazy people using your service. What can you do?

Here's where the summary goes wrong:

Artificial Intelligence is in fact many kinds of technologies. People conflate LLMs with the whole thing because its the first kind of AI that an average person with no technical knowledge could use after a fashion.

But nobody is going to design a new rocket engine in ChatGPT. They're going to use some other kind of AI that work on problems on processes that the average person can't even conceive of -- like design optimization where there are potentially hundreds of parameters to tweak. Some of the underlying technology may have similarities -- like "neural nets" , which are just collections of mathematical matrices that encoded likelihoods underneath, not realistic models of biological neural systems. It shouldn't be surprising that a collection of matrices containing parameters describing weighted relations between features should have a wide variety of applications. That's just math; it's just sexier to call it "AI".

Most devs at Amazon are probably not working on AI engines.

There are tools designed for such financial work that use idioms and formulas finance people know. These people outgrew Excel but don't want the usual frustration of converting.

Science is a system of checks and balances, but doing checks and balances has no glory, so too many skip that. It's like playing defense roles in sports, nobody gets laid playing defense.

1. Amazon orders own devs to use their AI tool Foo
2. Devs reluctantly follow orders
3. Foo usage goes up
4. Amazon brags about high Foo usage in ad
5. Suckers see ad, buy Foo
6. Profit!

Bots will make MORE dupes, this is the Slashdot Way.

It reminds me of all the freebies one could get during the dot-com bubble; once it popped ads became ever more frequent, then they required payment for service, then they died.

Put Wonder Woman in the room, they'll write better.
