It's a language model. It's not meant to be a source of truth or even to be right about whatever it is prompted to write about. It's meant to generate text blurbs in response to a prompt using word association and snippets from it's ma-hoo-sive training set.

That's why it just makes up citations in many occasions, because all the model cares is that a citation is grammatically made up a certain way, and that the contents are associated to the prompt.

Also why it can't do math. It's a language model.

What people need to do is stop fucking using it as google because it is not a search engine and it does not give a single fuck about the veracity of the generated text, only that the generated text looks like it was taught to make it look.

The real issue is people expecting a language model, which is all it is, to be an "ai" to "knows everything".

It can write. That is what it is for. It does not have any intelligence, regardless of being a "language AI". The purpose of the model is to generate text in a generally grammatically correct manner when prompted, which is why it has been known to just make up citations when prompted to include them--because as far as the model is concerned, a citation looks a certain way and includes specific grammatical configuration, so it just needs to do that in relation to the prompted words.

It's why it can't do math. It wasn't designed to do so. The model was not trained to do so. It can use word association to write something that looks grammatically relevant.

Reply to comment by GalvestonDreaming in Job listing platform Indeed lays off 2,200 employees by marketrent

I hope not, Indeed is garbage. Every day I get their email with job listings, and absolutely none of the jobs there is remotely related to my experience, area, industry, geographic location or interests I set on my profile.

A random "who's hiring" google search is far more accurate. I'm stunned to learn they have more than 2000 employees

Reply to comment by donsanedrin in Judge dismisses gamers’ claims that Microsoft/Activision merger will spoil gaming by Flawed_L0gic

Again find help! If you need to be in this level of denial where you're basically just saying no to facts you need help!

I listed the games you are just in denial!

"Bloodborne was co-developed with Sony."

There's nothing I can find to back that up! Nothing!

"Bloodborne is entirely funded by Sony, since its conception."

O wait you just don't understand how game development works.....fuck off! Funded ISN'T CREATED! The game would've been made anyways!

"Show me where that is bought? Where's the deal for that?"

Well for RE7 Idk the fact it's not on pc when it wouldn't be that hard to port especially when the game was very popular...is thinking that fucking hard???

"There is nothing permanent about that exclusive, it can absolutely come to Xbox later on. The thing is, Sony didn't buy out Square-Enix. Square-Enix made a business decision to join a temporary exclusivity agreement."

Funny how you magically missed the news that Sony didn't do a temporary agreement with that game and others....

O and you magically ignore silent hill remaster as well that's not suspicious at all...

There's your fucking proof! and no xbox legally can't lie about that.

The most damning thing about your complaints of Square-Enix is this: They released Final Fantasy 15 multiplatform, on both Playstation and Xbox, day and date. And they never did it again.

This is the most silly part especially given the link I sent that was everywhere when it came out and you I guess live under a rock time to time, that makes no fucking sense! There was a new FF game it was made by a different developer which is why it was allowed(and was shit) and Microsoft paid for a ton of Japanese games for gamepass and to come to Xbox like persona 5, I mean they even made a ton of Square games as well so it doesn't make sense they would just not pay for FF7 remake.

Idk why you want to keep defending a massive company when you're clearly just wrong.
