I’m not sure if it’s intentional or not, but the Actually Useful AI community rarely gets any post on AI that’s actually useful. Is this just a reflection of the popularity of this community or a reflection of the AI field in general?

    You are being silly and gullible. These chatbots just make shit up. You can’t learn anything from them. It’s literally worse than just googling the question and believing whatever nonsense you read on Quora. They don’t “know” anything, they’re a particularly advanced form of your phone’s predictive text feature.

      These chatbots just make shit up.

      As someone who interacts with “these chatbots”, the “shit” that they “make up” is very useful to onboard onto topics and find paths forward. They are the closest there is to expert systems, and currently there is no alternative that comes close to the value they provide.

      You can’t learn anything from them.

      Those who can’t learn in general also won’t learn in specifics.
