Is AI Unreliable Compared to the Competition?

In a world of everyone accusing AI of being unreliable, I wanted to take the time to talk about the competition.

Below is an article written by a Stanford grad who even attended a class on the subject matter. Yet their analysis misses a fundamental idea of the topic itself: randomness does not exist in computers that you and I will use, it can't.

Any discussions about algorithms being used to generate random numbers is moot as those are only pseudo-random number generators. If you know the initial value, or the seed, you can calculate the output. The only known truly random processes humans have observed are natural phenomena such as radioactive decay.

Similarly, ai is deterministic as most are calculating the gradient descent to determine the most likely word that should appear next. While the output might change, that is not what random means.

Yes, ai is still not 100% reliable, but frankly neither are people. Even a source from an ivy league graduate has noticable errors that impact the results he presents. Don't just check the work of ai, fact check all of the information you receive.

Modern AI requires that you understand the field you are using it for, you should look at ai like an overly enthusiastic intern who is extraordinarily fast. Aai can speed up your workflow; engineers, lawyers, and even customer service are leveraging ai to do better work faster. Do you plan on being left behind, or will you ride the rising tide to new heights?
