Why can't AI just say when it's unsure or doesn't know and starts hallucinating instead?

>>107781387
Because the "AI" system simply does not have those concepts. It's trained on a huge body of text and what the AI does is string together words that sound like the text it was trained on. And that's what it's going to do, no matter what you give it as an input, it's going to generate some more text that "looks" right. The system fundamentally does not have a concept of truth, or of knowledge being absent from its training material.
>>
>>107795867
It is not a bug. The way current LLMs are designed they simply do not have a way to guarantee accurate output. The whole shebang simply glues words one after another in such a way that the output is similar to its training data. When you prompt it with something that is strongly present in its training then there is a very high chance that the output it produces will be something that matches the training data, but when you prompt it with something that is either only weakly present or absent in its training then it has no way to "know" this because the entire system just glues words together, so no matter what your input is it's still going to glue words together based on its training, but it's just going to result in some random bullshit.

I enjoy seeing the reaction of GPT to news. It doesn't need its data to be updated at a certain date, it can look up and verify sources from official US government sites, tell you what it says, then in the next step if you ask it why wont Ukraine just kidnap Putin or why doesn't the US just take greenland or some other action extending from that, it refuses to continue and tells you that the US taking Maduro never happened because it would be too insane. You then tell it that it JUST looked up the sources itself, real ones, and it will do the same loop all over again. This news legit just broke GPT. Truly a 4D chess move from Trump.
And something to note here for my fellow channers, AI will not function is the action or structure seems too absurd and far diverged from its preconceived notions. This means that it will have serious issues with any type of scientific research.

Why did LS120 Superdisk and Zip Disk fail as the next generation of floppies? CD's evolved into DVD's and then into Blu Ray's. But the next evolutions of floppy disks both died in the very early 2000s. Even though in 2001 a single 120mb USB Drive cost over 70 bucks. While a Zip Disk drive cost less than 100 bucks and a single 100mb Zip Disk was $10.

Long story short all the tutorials of programmers i watched online, never liked what I saw.

They all look dead inside, depressed, robotic face and speech completely lacking emotions. And they are content creators-programmers. I wonder what real people who sit at the screen write instructions all day look like. One needs to sacrifice having a fun charismatic personality to be a coder right ?

They look lifeless because modern programmers are in most cases people who don't like it but went into it to because of money. This applies even more for Indians and Asians who are forced by their parents to choose one of 4-5 careers pretty much.
The people who make tutorial videos about programming are trying to escape the office. They are the type of video that any retard with a couple years of experience can make.
People who actually like their jobs either don't make videos or make videos of very niche personal projects they made for fun.
If you don't want to endure their negative vibes, just use books instead and talk to people with actual passion on online groups. You will get better at learning without getting spoonfed plus you will build some actual connections with people that will probably do well in their careers.

A lot of construction workers seem actually pretty happy around where I live, but maybe it depends on the country and area.
Lotta people find construction quite satisfying since you are building actual tangible things every day with your own hands that will stand and be used by real people for many years. Money aside, the main drawback is the climate and risk of injury, but if you work at a temperate place that follows safety regulations and you take care of your body, you can minimize the physical long term damage a lot.
Tbh I think the most bitter people I've met were either office workers, teachers or healthcare workers. Staying inside for a long time with people you don't like definitely fucks up people's brains. More so if you don't enjoy the work.

A bit of a general question, but why is the tech market so "winner takes it all" like? It has not always been this way, back in the day (00s to early 10s) one social media, dating or messaging platform replaced the other within 2-3 years.

Nowadays, even non community apps which are super easy to copy, are being enshittificated with no replacement popping up. I am talking about Komoot, Duolingo and the likes.

I understand for stuff like Hyperscalers the CapEx is too high, so there will NEVER be a European AWS/GCP/Azure (or ChatGPT/Gemini). But how come even small fucking apps like that cannot be copied and improved?
