I’m pretty sure a lot of tech workers don’t trust it either
My experience with it is technical knowledge correlates negatively to AI enthusiasm
The more knowledge you have about what an LLM is and how it works the worse it feels to watch people use the damned things. I’ve got a friend who uses them for marketing copy for her job (sure, whatever), for grocery lists (uhh), for writing scripts for difficult conversations (uuuuhhhh), and as a source-of-truth search engine (UUUHH). Like she’s fully surrendering her ability to think to the Machine That Only Tells Lies. Butlerian Jihad can’t come fast enough
I overheard at the gym the other day someone getting this great idea for a book and said with a straight face “Someone should totally get AI to write that!”
I just died a little on the inside that day. It’s so depressing seeing the world be almost gleeful about delegating all creativity to an algorithm.
yeah you hit sort of an x-point of technologically illiterate digital forward people and I do believe they’re going to get unbelievably fucked by the whole ordeal on account of trusting their decision making to the hallucination machine

As a long time tech worker i just hate computers entirely.
There are two types of tech worker, the ones who want to find a way to turn themselves into a literal monkey and never look at a computer ever again. Those that love tech hype trains but couldn’t program their way out of a paper bag and probably end up in management which drive the former to want to metamorphose into
As far as I’m concerned, return to monke should be another immortal meme like loss.
it’s immortal for me!
…so it’ll live for 1-70 more years, at least.
and repeatedly get its ass handed to it by even the most paltry villains and then fuck off to a cabin somewhere
in Italy, the monkey is of the symbols of the Tech Workers Movement
Unironically I’ve began to realize I don’t hate STEM, I just dislike tech.
Unfortunately for me, the S in STEM is silent.

I was about to point out that I have IoT stuff and hate AI, but my IoT stuff is mostly using zigbee instead of wifi so it can’t try to phone home…

everyone carries a dumb smartphone-like hand terminal but they have to physically jack into a network access point to download new content and messages.
capitalist hellhole side-plot: tech workers are expected to do so every 15 minutes, even on days off, to ensure no missed slack/teams/etc. notifications.
Everyone carries a spool of cable attached to their phone
we’d have to do a physical inspection of access points for data skimmers like we had to do with gas pump credit card scanners before chips were widespread.

You’re describing Mega Man Battle Network down to the terminology
hell yeah and here I was just using standard scifi/cyberpunk terms

Military drones are now controlled via optical fiber.
Pretty sure people in tech hate it too outside of those trying to sell it

in more niche problems, it will often hallucinate that there’s a magic parameter that does exactly what you want. It will never tell you “Nope, can’t be done, you have to restructure around doing it this other way”
This was why, in spite of it all, I had a brief glimmer of hope for DeepSeek – it’s designed to reveal both its sources and the process by which it reaches its regurgitated conclusions, since it was meant to be an open-source research aid rather than a proprietary black-box chatbot.

Anthropic’s latest research shows the chain of thought reasoning shown isn’t trustworthy anyway. It’s for our benefit, and doesn’t match the actual reasoning used internally 1:1.

As you say, hallucinating can be solved by adding meta-awareness. Seems likely to me we’ll be able to patch the problem eventually. We’re just starting to understand why these models hallucinate in the first place.

When all the AI startup bros ever fucking talk about is how AI is going to let them throw workers out on their ass, then of course workers aren’t going to trust AI.
