God, LLMs are so incredibly useless, even for the simplest tasks.
I asked it if #FieldsOfMistria was considered less stressful than #StardewValley.
It confidently answered yes, with additional reasons.
Then I asked it for a source; it says it got fed data up until 2023-October.
Fields of Mistria only came out in late 2024 though. I confront it; it responds that it actually doesn't have any information on FoM.
So the entire first answer was utterly made up just because it sounded plausible.
@lianna That's what the whole technology is all about. Make up something that seems plausible if you don't check it, without verifying if it is correct.
Both for text and images, it's a noise generator.
@yora I mean, yeah, I work in computational linguistics, I know exactly how LLMs work.
They're language models, so they model language. They're amazing at generating language. The technology is fascinating, and that it works as well as it does is a miracle.
The problem is that the technology should never have been called "AI", or associated with information retrieval. It can't possibly do that. It's a text generator.
@yora The reason I posted (and the reason I was still surprised despite knowing all this) is that even for me (and for most computational linguists I know), the cutting-edge technology in LLMs is nothing short of magic.
The fact that the best way to control an LLMs output is to beg it to do this or that, and that giving it developer instructions (pre-prompts) in capital letters works better than the alternative, is crazy.
@lianna I like Fields of Mistria better actually. I played it a lot last September lol. Found it really relaxing. And I find the graphics, UI, animation, more pleasing than Stardew Valley.
@miguel_ga Thank you! That's what I was looking for.
@lianna You're welcome! Happy to help
