@GossiTheDog More people need to hear this! I can't believe the amount of BS in the news about "AI".

@GossiTheDog This has gone so far that I think we're going to have to change the old "It was DNS" to "It was AI hallucinations"

@GossiTheDog
We really need to get rid of the term "Hallucinations". It's an algorithm spewing nonsense. It's a bullshit generator spewing bullshit. It's a chatbot trained to serve up crap that sounds plausible. In short, it's a tool that does exactly what it's designed to do.And the people who published this monstrosity should not be able to hide behind the tool they used!

@GossiTheDog AI doesn't hallucinate. That is just a marketing ploy to try and suggest it is in some way conscious (it isn't and never will be). It is the people unthinkingly using it that are deluded.

@GossiTheDog Kind of makes one wonder whether the consulting firms have a future if they are just relying on AI to produce their own reports. OTOH, this story isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of that replacement.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social You would have thought that the large, er, "thought leading" consulting firms would have been violently anti-AI; verbose sycophancy as a service is basically the whole business model. That and pre-arranged supplier approval with large orgs so that nobody manages to hire any consultants who are actual experts.

@shelldozer@oldbytes.space Thank you, although I have to honest and say that I think I've heard it used before. Unfortunately I can't remember where, so I'll take a bit of Schrödinger pride in the case that maybe I did coin it on the fly…

"The industry" needs to realize that using LLMs for things that have a binary works/doesn't work scenario (development, some exploit work) is vastly different from producing text that cannot be verified the same way.

@GossiTheDog 'AI is great!' says report written by an AI for an audience of people who really want AI to replace employees. It's impressive how they've found a way to be dumber than the 'billionaires are great' op eds, written by millionaires paid by billionaires, published in papers owned by billionaires.
