Link: Google still recommends glue for your pizza | The Verge

An eighth of a cup of Elmer’s, to be precise.

It’s now June 11th, 2024 and it’s still there. Yeah, AI is gonna save our ass. It’s not even artisanal glue!

@bradenslen The fundamental problem with LLMs is that they cannot detect sentence structure. It’s beyond them. The text is just a sequence of words in a particular order. I could say “my pencil is blue” and “my pencil is not blue” and an LLM couldn’t detect the meaning of the difference.

@fgtech Very good point. Nor are LLM's able to detect fiction from non-fiction, outright lies, sarcasm, irony, jokes, obfuscation, realtor-speak and anything else that tricksy humans can write. It's all equal to LLM's.

@bradenslen Exactly. Although various styles of writing are associated with certain turns of phrase and word frequencies that will be modeled, all subtlety and meaning is lost on the machine. These are very fancy pattern matching algorithms but intelligent they are not.
