An AI leaderboard suggests the newest reasoning models used in chatbots are producing less accurate results because of higher hallucination rates. Experts say the problem is bigger than that

    “AI design is inherently defective and will never work correctly.”

    Guess we need to jam it into more things!

      As much as I agree with the sentiment and as much as I despise the current state of tech and llm’s, software and tech in general are very brittle, riddled with problems and human mistakes(a bug is just a made up word that allows displacement of responsibility).

      Just rambling don’t really have a useful point

      I think yes. Look at how long they’ve been trying to cram voice assistants down our throats. There’s no point at which they’ll say “no, I don’t think these are ready yet, let’s pull them back”.

        It is clear to all that a bubble has been growing.

        If you’re insisting the bubble will never burst, then there has to eventually be an actual use case for this that makes back the billions they’re investing no? What’s that use case? A Copilot subscription?

          No. They just keep investing in perpetuity. Look at Tesla.

            Look at Tesla.

            Sure

            Tesla’s stock has plummeted over 50% since December, causing the company to lose $800 billion in market value. That drop has also knocked roughly $100 billion off Musk’s net worth, though he remains the world’s richest person, with a fortune estimated at $329 billion by Forbes.

            According to the Financial Times, short sellers have made over $16 billion betting against Tesla in the last three months, and some analysts have downgraded their global delivery forecasts to the lowest levels since 2022.

              Look closelier. +5% over the last 5 days. +18% over the last month. +77% over the last 12 months. +460% over the last 5 years. That’s in spite of the CEO’s recent deeply polarizing antics that have nothing to do with Tesla itself.

                Don’t make up numbers.

                +77% over the last 12 months

                It’s -21.36%. I don’t know where you’re getting this info from.

                Type “Tesla stock” into Google and select YTD (year to date).

        I mean - I still don’t use them so - ? And knowing they’re infected with AI, I wouldn’t use them for anything other than the simplest, statistically-improbable-to-get-wrong tasks.

          You’d be surprised, Google voice commands have gotten so bad it can’t toggle a light. Things as simple as “define: word” are now a 50/50 of working or spitting out some random crap unrelated to what was attempted to be looked up. I’ve stopped using the little speakers for anything other than streaming music while cooking.

            I guess - i mean, the smallpox virus is still here too, it’s just very unpopular and not very profitable.
