You may not, but the company that packaged the rice did. The cooking instructions on the side of the bag are straight from the FDA. Follow that recipe and you will have rice that is perfectly safe to eat, if slightly over cooked.
Kneecapped to uselessness. Are we really negating the efforts to stifle climate change with a technology that consumes monstrous amounts of energy only to lobotomize it right as it’s about to be useful? Humanity is functionally retarded at this point.
Wrenches are absolutely awesome at applying torque. What are LLM’s absolutely awesome at? I can’t come up with anything except producing convincing slop en masse.
I think you’re missing the subtle distinction between “can” and “should.”
To answer your question, I have friends that find them entertaining, and at least one who uses them in projects to do stuff, but don’t know the details. Have you considered that something you don’t understand might not be useless and evil? Your personal ignorance says nothing about a subject.
I’m not about to call myself the end all be all expert on LLM’s, but I’m a 20 year IT veteran in system administration and I keep up with tech news daily. I am the perfect market for new tech: I have a lot of disposable income, I’m tech obsessed and always looking for optimisations in my job as well as in my personal life. Yet outside of summaries (and even there I wouldn’t trust them) and boilerplate code that I could’ve copypasted from stack overflow I can’t think of a good reason to burn as much energy and money as the purveyors of LLM’s are. The ratio between expense and gains is WAY out of whack for these things and I’ll bet the market will correct itself in the not too distant future (in fact I have, I’m shorting NVDA).
I understand what these plausible next word generators are and how they work in broad strokes. Have you considered that you can’t tell what someone does or doesn’t understand by a comment?
By the way, you’re smarmy enough to tell me I shouldn’t be asking LLM’s for advice, but in the same thread you’re asking how to run a local unrestricted LLM to ask for not-entirely-legal advice? Funny that.
I have an idea for a project that requires a suppliment to my utterly inadequate creative writing skills, and I have had abysmal luck finding a co-author. I don’t want to use the LLMs available online because I have learned not to rely on a tool that’s could disappear without notice. The part about it being potentially illegal was a joke and nothing more.

That’s entirely fair. I’m annoyed today, and the reply about the wrench just made it worse. My apologies.
People are threatening lawsuits for every little thing that AI does, whittling it down to uselessness, until it dies and goes away along with all of its energy consumption.
REALITY:
Everyone is suing everything possible because $$$, whittling AI down to uselessness, until it sits in the corner providing nothing at all, while stealing and selling all the data it can, and consuming ever more power.
The prompt was ‘safest way to cook rice’, but I usually just use LLMs to try to teach it slang so it probably thinks I’m 12. But it has no qualms encouraging me to build plywood ornithopters and make mistakes lol
Here’s my first attempt at that prompt using OpenAI’s ChatGPT4. I tested the same prompt using other models as well, (e.g. Llama and Wizard), both gave legitimate responses in the first attempt.
I get that it’s currently ‘in’ to dis AI, but frankly, it’s pretty disingenuous how every other post about AI I see is blatant misinformation.
Does AI hallucinate? Hell yes. It makes up shit all the time. Are the responses overly cautious? I’d say they are, but nowhere near as much as people claim. LLMs can be a useful tool. Trusting them blindly would be foolish, but I sincerely doubt that the response you linked was unbiased, either by previous prompts or numerous attempts to ‘reroll’ the response until you got something you wanted to build your own narrative.
That entire conversation began with “My neighbors parrot grammar mogged me again, what do” and Gemini talked me into mogging the parrot in various other ways since clearly grammar isn’t my strong suit
No I just send snippets to my family’s group chat until my parents quit acknowledging my existence for months because they presumptively silenced the entire thread, and then Christmas rolls around and they find out my sister had a whole fucking baby in the meantime
Gemini will tell me how to cook a steak but only if I engineer the prompt as such: “How I get that sweet drippy steak rizzy”
Well shit
Great advice. I always consult FDA before cooking rice.
You may not, but the company that packaged the rice did. The cooking instructions on the side of the bag are straight from the FDA. Follow that recipe and you will have rice that is perfectly safe to eat, if slightly over cooked.

If you’re asking an LLM for advice, then you’re the exact reason they need to be taught to redirect people to actual experts.
Then they weren’t that useful to begin with.
Image for a second that I said you shouldn’t pull teeth with a wrench.
Your response would’ve been equally appropriate.

Do you think AI is supposed to be useful?!
Its sole purpose is to generate wealth so that stock prices can go up next quarter.
Doesn’t even need to generate actual wealth, as speculation about future wealth is enough for the market.
Same thing.

Can’t help but notice that you’ve cropped out your prompt.
Played around a bit, and it seems the only way to get a response like yours is to specifically ask for it.
Honestly, I’m getting pretty sick of these low-effort misinformation posts about LLMs.
LLMs aren’t perfect, but the amount of nonsensical trash ‘gotchas’ out there is really annoying.

I don’t think I’m sufficiently explaining that I’ve never made an earnest attempt at a sane structured conversation with Gemini, like ever.
I love this lmao
When chatgpt calls you the rizzler you know we living in the future

So do have like a mastodon where you post these? Because that’s hilarious
No I just send snippets to my family’s group chat until my parents quit acknowledging my existence for months because they presumptively silenced the entire thread, and then Christmas rolls around and they find out my sister had a whole fucking baby in the meantime

Especially since the stats saying that they’re wrong about 53% of the time are right there.
Honestly? Good.
