I was an early beta tester of Google's Bard AI (lemmy.ml)

I was an early beta tester of Google's Bard AI, now known as Gemini. Back then I was excited about a chatbot that could provide concise results to my search engine questions. It was soon apparent that the majority of the answers Bard returned were incorrect by varying degrees. Fast forward a number of years and Gemini results aren't much better. For example, I asked it for the standard tuning for a Puerto Rican Cuatro stringed instrument and the original result gave me the tuning for six strings even though the instrument has ten strings. I had to correct multiple times before it finally acknowledged my answer.

The amount of time and energy being wasted on this trash is infuriating.

Never use llm unless it is self hosted

Never trust an LLM unless verify the answer yourself either by knowing it or doing proper DD

So stop using it? If you keep using it they're just going to think you want it, doubly so if they're not getting the feedback that the answer was trash.

It is built into my phone. Even though I use Firefox as a browser and Kagi for search, sometimes Google finds a way to weasel Gemini in there and have it give me results. That's what happened today, and the results were so wrong that I had to stop what I was doing and do a fresh round of tests. Just as it was years ago, the results are mainly trash.

I miss the good old days when software shoving itself where it didn't belong against your will immediately got it classified as malware
