> First off, It’s good to study all kinds of things isn’t it? Even if it’s not strictly practical.

Course it is. But the conclusion everyone is coming to is that LLMs are garbage and can’t be used because of 25 percent degradation which is not in line with reality.

> Second, and more importantly these AI tools are EVERYWHERE right now. The effects of people using them for work can be seen throughout many industries and workplaces.

At 25 percent degradation these tools would not be everywhere. They are everywhere because it’s not actually used that way.

> So I think studying how these models perform in the vast majority of use cases is not only a good idea, but it’s actually really important.

I have less of a problem with this study and more about the interpretation of this study.

> Even if you’re strictly pro-AI and believe it is the future, a study like this can help you explain to laymen why they need the harnesses you’re so in support of.

I’m not pro-AI. I’m anti AI. I fucking hate fucking AI.

What I’m angry at is this delusional denial of reality. This experiment is very obviously not accurate yet people are using this study as a headliner to promote an anti AI agenda.

I don’t like AI but that’s different for lying to myself or trying to say AI sucks at something when it is in fact superior then us in this respect.
