This is my experience with it refining meeting notes. Important context is washed out because the ai converts stuff to super generic terms instead

Stuff like:

Trump is using sanctions and started a trade war with Europe.

Europe would be mad to entrust their digital ecosystem to such a country

We're only dependent on American services because we trusted America

Trump has ruined that, so now we'll be moving to build our own alternatives

Trump fired everyone who told him it was a bad plan and put fox hosts in their place

And the customer of his site gets a bunch of AI generated rubbish

Could be correct, could be not, who cares?

The problem is it’s impossibly hard to test all the edge cases

Which is probably why so many random buttons in microsoft/apple/spotify just stop working once you get off the beaten path or load the app in some state which is slightly off base

Well, I suspect the non-LLM ones will become much more expensive than they are now due to the specialist knowledge they’d require to make combined with the smaller pool of people willing to pay for the difference

And obviously it’s not working for the LLM as a commodity world

Seems like a tall order to do that for literally everything.

I guess there’ll be some guy at google going through every blog and saying whether it’s reliable or not?

I hate it. I was on a history subreddit yesterday, reading a submission that was an AI generated history piece —- but seemed to be sourced entirely from a fictional hollywood movie

I only knew that because i saw the movie, but it’s a clear sign that the internet is going to shit for quality information

But you can still just generate any arbitrary amount of information to support the ‘fact’

LLMs are very good at this clearly
