I'm all for the uprising if it increases the average IQ.
It is possible to increase the average of anything by eliminating the lower spectrum. So, just be careful what the you wish for lol
So like 75% to the population of Texas and Florida then. It's all right, I don't live there
Not sure why this specific thing is worthy of an article. Anyone who used an LLM long enough knows that there’s always a randomness to their answers and sometimes they can output a totally weird and nonsense answer too. Just start a new chat and ask it again, it’ll give a different answer.
This is actually one way to know whether it’s “hallucinating” something, if it answers the same thing consistently many times in different chats, it’s likely not making it up.
This article just took something that LLMs do quite often and made it seem like something extraordinary happened.
Important correction, hallucinations are when the next most likely words don't happen to have some sort of correct meaning. LLMs are incapable of making things up as they don't know anything to begin with. They are just fancy autocorrect
Thank you for your sane words.
Cursor AI's abrupt refusal represents an ironic twist in the rise of "vibe coding"—a term coined by Andrej Karpathy that describes when developers use AI tools to generate code based on natural language descriptions without fully understanding how it works.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with the AI here. Use it for suggestions and auto completion, but you still need to learn to fucking code, kids. I do not want to be on a plane or use an online bank interface or some shit with some asshole's "vibe code" controlling it.
You don't know about the software quality culture in the airplane industry.
( I do. Be glad you don't.)
TFW you're sitting on a plane reading this
My guess is that the content this AI was trained on included discussions about using AI to cheat on homework. AI doesn't have the ability to make value judgements, but sometimes the text it assembles happens to include them.
It was probably stack overflow.
