Meta “programmed it to simply not answer questions,” but it did anyway.

    Yeah, the average person is the idiot here, for something they never asked for, and for something they see no value in. Companies threw billions of dollars at this emerging technology. Many things like Google Search have hallucinating, error-prone AI forced into the main product that is impossible to opt-out or use the (working) legacy version now…

      Nobody is forcing you to use it.

      I’m using it and I see great value in it. And if there are people that see value in a product then it’s worth the investment.

        Yes, people are being forced to use it if they want to, for instance, search using Google or Bing.

        As the parent comment suggested, or there’s no way to opt out, currently.

        I’m glad you see value in it; I think the injection of LLM queries into search results I want to contain accurate results (and nothing more) a useless waste of power.

          Injecting that into search result is a bad thing, I’m with you on that. Try DuckDuckGo. They use Bing but don’t insert all of that AI crap. The results are much more vanilla. It’s actually easier to find stuff because it’s not that cluttered.

        I always ask all people defending AI, or rather LLMs, what’s the great value they all mention in their comments. So far the “best” answer I got was one dude using LLMs to extract info from decades old reports that no one has checked in 20 years hahaha. So glad we are allowing LLMs to deetroy the environment and plagiarize all creative work for that lol.

        So, what is the great value you see man?
