But is it convincing enough to attend meetings for me

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Ugh someone recently sent me LLM-generated meeting notes for a meeting that only a couple colleagues were able to attend. They sucked, a lot. Got a number of things completely wrong, duplicated the same random note a bunch of times in bullet lists, and just didn’t seem to reflect what was actually talked about. Luckily a coworker took their own real notes, and comparing them made it clear that LLMs are definitely causing more harm than good. It’s not exactly the same thing, but no, we’re not there yet.

Wait until you hear about doctors using AI to summarize visits 😎

All the above would apply to doctor visit notes. Would you find that helpful?

Plus, they can hallucinate phrases or entire sentences

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Have you seen current doctor visit note summaries? The bar is pretty low. A lot of these are made with conventional dictation software that has no sense of context when it misunderstands. Agree the consequences can be worse if the context is wrong, but I would guess a well programmed AI could summarize better on average than most visit summaries are currently. With this sort of thing there will be errors, but let's not forget that there ARE errors.

You just have to love that these assholes are so lazy that they first use an LLM to write their work, but then are also too lazy to quickly proof read what the LLM spat out.

People caught doing this should be fired on the spot, you're not doing your job.

Or family reunions.

...Asking for a friend.

What does an AI look like in jorts?

Asking the important questions

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Imagine sitting down with an AI model for a spoken two-hour interview. A friendly voice guides you through a conversation that ranges from your childhood, your formative memories, and your career to your thoughts on immigration policy. Not long after, a virtual replica of you is able to embody your values and preferences with stunning accuracy.

Okay, but can it embody my traumas?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Maybe some of the symptoms of the traumas that you exhibited during the interview.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

lol because people always behave in ways consistent with how they tell an interviewer they will.

I'm calling BS on this one. "Values and preferences" are such a far cry from Actual Personality that it's meaningless. Just more LLM hype

Great. Now I can see first hand how annoying I am 🤔

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I like you.

I'm pretty sure we already explored this timeline in a black mirror episode

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Just one or all of them? /s
