<p>I’m doing experiments with LLMs and I’m trying to research techniques for grounding. Example prompt templates, for instance. There’s lots of generic articles about grounding, but details and specific examples are thin on the ground. I’ve read the source for langchain to find the prompt template for agent based reasoning, but that was just one perspective…are there better ways?</p>

<p>Science is hard, and that's why science rarely gives black-and-white answers. This study is not the one final word on the matter. But that doesn't mean it's not still useful.<p>Science is done based on the evidence that is found, and this counts as some evidence. Does it answer every question? Of course not. Does it help improve our understanding of the occurrence of it? Yes.<p>Correlation is not causation, but where there's smoke, there's often a fire—as these findings continue to be validated (and there have been other studies that find similar links), it becomes more and more relevant to understand why there is such a correlation—to find a causal mechanism, if it exists, or to confirm that it's just spurious correlation.</p>

<p>The author notes that in the data analysis, ChatGPT hallucinates an incorrect fact…there seems like such a huge gulf between “ChatGPT can do 90% of a data analysis but some might be wrong” and “ChatGPT can do data analysis with great accuracy.”<p>It’s a difference between proof of concept and production ready software. Maybe these shortcomings can be addressed in a larger software ecosystem, but ChatGPT still feels pretty far from properly replacing human work—it’s just not reliable enough</p>

<p>I did a PhD in statistics, and spent a lot of that time doing applied modeling.<p>My perspective is that MCMC is one of the great scientific discoveries of the 20th century. There are pros and cons to different samplers, lots of caveats, concerns over convergence—all valid. Still, MCMC opens up a whole new world of model building, letting you easily try a whole slew of models. It provides flexibility, even creativity. As a concept it’s clever. As a technical achievement it’s amazing.</p>

<p>This is a great illustration of the risks of LLMs. As a user, if I am asking this question to a search engine, I <i>definitely do not</i> expect to need to fact-check the results. That's the whole reason to use the search engine in the first place!<p>We're about to enter a dark ages of crappy AI products that are touted as game changing, outcompeting each other to be the best chatbot that can compose haiku about how grapes turn into raisins.</p>

<p>This is like encryption: the cat is out of the bag and there's no getting it back in. As computing power increases, control of LLMs will be democratized / made widely available, and no amount of regulation will stop that.<p>More to the point, it will be incredibly difficult to reset the gen pop's impression of AGI. More structure to LLMs may give more reliability, but in the meantime, I have no doubt LLMs will wreak havoc in the world. We're in a mess it's not clear can be cleaned up.</p>
