I was watching this video and at the 8:00 minute mark, they say that popcorn does not have gluten. To prove this point, they edit in a screenshot showing the first result of google for “does popcorn have gluten,” which is the ai answer. I’ve seen similar in other videos or reels and it feels forced in a way. And to me, it doesn’t prove their claim correct because it’s the ai answer.
I don’t know, I’ve just noticed this more recently and wanted to make sure I wasn’t going crazy.
Yeah, and I like AI being used for what it’s good at, but using LLMs as a source of truth shows a fundamental misunderstanding of LLMs.
There’s also a compounding problem right? Like if people take AI as a source and make content with it, that content will be rescraped for AI data sets thereby reaffirming information that may be false.
People are really stupid, almost no one has a working knowledge of LLMs unless they are actively coding one
And we are getting to the point with iterative training that soon no human will understand how the context black box works.
Considering what we have access to now, I have no doubt that there are already private models that the devs have no insight into the tokenization process
You don’t need to fully understand how an LLM works at a deep level to know that it doesn’t in any way check if what it’s outputting corresponds to truth - it doesn’t check the meaning of it at all.
That’s not exactly true for the last and current generation, there are coach expert systems that verify certain outputs before they’re ever presented to the consumer but still are only about 75% useful, though that number is growing.
Still less reliable than a subject expert human though
Not personally, and if a creator I follow did so I would unsub immediately. It’s lazy and insulting to the audience.
Anyone who cites an LLM or AI-generated summary as a legitimate source can’t be trusted to provide truthful or accurate information.
Yes, everytime i go on YouTube it’s one of those weird “filmed vertically” vids with yellow text that changes colour as the “person” talks and then halfway through they say a sentence which makes no sense. pure slop content
I’ve noticed a lot are using AI image generation now as “filler” while they talk about certain subjects. I understand, it’s a lot faster and easier to generate an image according to your instructions than trying to find it in stock images or manually photoshopping something yourself. As long as this remains limited to this, I don’t really have a problem with it. But it won’t.
Is this supposed to be a joke post?
At least cite the source that the LLM used. They give it to you. Lazy.
if it was an automatic response to a search then it’s most likely whatever the fuck Google is using
I doubt any creator would use duckduckgo live on stream
Maybe not on the main channels I tend to watch on yt, but there’s one who I have pretty much completely stopped watching ( GrayStillPlays ) because I just wasn’t as interested anymore. I come back one day recently to check out a Universe Sandbox video he just posted that day and the second he started asking I think it was chatgpt something about a little laser pointer, IIRC, I immediately noped out of the video.
I ain’t supporting him if he’s just gonna use an “AI” LLM to get the info he wants. I could at least, before LLMs became the big bubble they are, look past him just casually asking g••gle using the shitty voice assistant thing because it’s whatever, but can’t for “AI” LLMs.
No, but I’ve sure noticed people complaining about it.
Nearly every YouTube video I watch is narrated by AI. I usually call it out in the comments and request people stop watching their shit videos until they hired human beings to voice them.
Ray William Johnson keeps plugging Leonardo AI and I suspect that’s what he’s using for the clips in his videos. So disappointing.
