>I don't trust LLMs to do the kind of precise deterministic work

not just in a spreadsheet, any kind of deterministic work at all.

find me a reliable way around this. i don't think there is one. mcp/functions are a band aid and not consistent enough when precision is important.

after almost three years of using LLMs, i have not found a single case where i didn't have to review its output, which takes as long or longer than doing it by hand.

ML/AI is not my domain, so my knowledge is not deep nor technical. this is just my experience. do we need a new architecture to solve these problems?

was it chatgpt who told you, because it's an obvious fucking load of bullshit lmao. why on earth would you believe that?

the cult of scientism

Astrology is not horoscopes.

Stars and planets radiate energy. Some of that energy is visible light, most is not. Energy affects people physically and psychologically. The bodies in our solar system follow predictable cycles. To think that we are not affected by energy that hits the planet at regular intervals is silly. Does it control all of human behavior and events? Obviously not, but it's not doing nothing.

i know. i want the assistant to do it. shouldn't it be able to do work on its own platform?

Who said I didn't read it? Who said I didn't see it for the earnest effort it is? He doesn't know any better, it's not his fault.

However, I can assure you if his audience is one person, he is that person. He is not writing for me.

It would also be nice if ChatGPT could move chats between projects. My sidebar is a nightmare.

In the early aughts, I was so adept at navigating my town because I delivered pizza. I could draw a map from memory. My directional skills were A+.

Once GPS became ubiquitous, I started relying on it, and over about a decade, my navigational skills degraded to the point of embarrassment. I've lived in the same major city now for 5 years and I still need a GPS to go everywhere.

This is happening to many people now, where LLMs are replacing our thinking. My dad thinks he is writing his own memoirs. Yeah pop, weird how you and everyone else just started using the "X isn't Y, it's Z" trope liberally in your writing out of nowhere.

It's definitely scary. And it's definitely sinister. I maintain that this is intentional, and the system is working the way they want it to.

true. and since this approach worked perfectly with full self driving, why shouldn't it also work here?

This comment indirectly represents my current biggest fear with respect to AI; I have encountered a disturbing lack of comprehension for figurative language. Abstractions, analogies, and figurative language are, I believe, critical tools for thinking. "Rotten wood, what are you even saying?"

People also seem to be losing their ability to detect satire.

I'm concerned GenAI will lower creative standards too, that people will be fine with the sound of suno, or the look of Dall-E. How then would the arts evolve?

Well, you lucky-10,000'd people who didn't know about the 10,000 thing. That's not nothing.

oh my god, your comment was just a setup for you to be pedantic? all discourse on the internet is worthless. i don't know why i keep engaging.

Time to look up TDD, my friend.

Right, like how in the US you can't shout "fire" in a crowded theater, but it's perfectly fine to shout "fuego".

If this is the case, it kills me that online poker is still illegal federally. Zero sum skill game minus fees.

LibreChat is still a webapp, not a native app (ie, the topic of this post).

Dinosaurs these days insist that there's only one way to do things, even when most apps are literally designed to accommodate different workflows.

Your keys are in the fridge with the remote control.

Don't forget Microsoft Frontpage

You have tested positive for long covid.

I think the tip off might have been that it began with "Have you ever" and then below that was a table of contents with 8 top-level sections.

so true

Good lord, 99% of the words in that article were unnecessary.

The problem isn't the _user's_ trust in the software....

Given how infuriating their implementation is of an in-app database, perhaps it's not that surprising.

You're right. We should start a letter-writing campaign to President Bush. Maybe it will make the nightly news.

of course not.

and boy are my arms tired
