This meme is getting old.

idk I do think it's worth pointing out sometimes that the ways these models mess up are very similar to the ways that humans mess up. It's funny you can almost always look at an obvious failure of an LLM and think of an equivalent way that a human might make the same (or a similar) mistake. It doesn't make the failure any less of a failure, but it is thought-provoking and worthwhile to point it out. Obviously this pa…

It's certainly useful to draw carefully thought out comparisons between human and AI performance at various tasks.

But this meme is not that. It's literally just a meme that's posted reflexively to any and all posts that unfavourably compare AI to humans, without any thought or analysis added.

Using Amazon for shopping is terrible, borderline unusable in 2024. They're hard to compete with because they're giant and have an amazing logistics network, but it also seems like there's a big vacuum in the market for an "everything store" that's actually good.

People on this forum often "joke" about dropping the production database as a rite of passage for noobs

The difference is, a junior employee knows that killing prod is bad. An LLM doesn't know anything.

Don't be so sure that all, or even most, junior employees know any such thing. I've seen junior employees fired for doing silly things in prod before[1]

[1] Of course whatever more senior bozo granted the junior the rights to blow up the thing(s) they did should have been fired instead. That's not the way things work in the corporate world.

Sometimes I read comments like this and feel a swell of gratitude that I don't work with braindead novices that make LLM-like mistakes. Are your coworkers actually that bad?

I get that this is basically fraud and spam, but this should really highlight the dangers of letting an unattended LLM do anything for your company at all. It can, and will, fuck up dramatically sooner or later.

>> unattended LLM do anything for your company at all. It can, and will, fuck up dramatically sooner or later. So, just like any other random employee?

Right, might as well just replace it all with a roll of the dice in that case. Wait do we have to quantify our comparisons? no, no, sorry, I almost forgot this was the internet for a second.

Easy fix since ChatGPT always apologises for not complying: any description or title containing the word "sorry" gets flagged for human oversight. Still orders of magnitude faster than writing all your own spam texts.

Why is it that LLMs are so often compared to employees and their responsibilities? In my opinion, it is an employee that actively USES the LLM as a tool and this employee (or his/her employer) is responsible for the results.

It's a dumb/lazy/specious talking point. You can kill someone with a pencil just like you can kill someone with a gun, but the gun scales up the danger so we treat it and regulate it differently. You can kill someone with a bike, a car, or an airplane, but the risks go up at each step so we treat and regulate the respective drivers differently.

If AI gives every individual the power to suddenly scale up the bullshit they can cause by 3+ orders of magnitude, that is a qualitatively different world that needs new considerations.

No, not at all. People can be held accountable for the decisions they make. You can have a relationship of trust between people. LLMs do not have these properties.

Relationships of trust between users and the LLMs they choose to use definitely exist.
