Interesting article and I get the issue...but it took the author a very long time to communicate the problem.
* AI egines (LLMs) have a reproducible bug that causes them to babble incessantly
* AI Companies either a) don't care or b) have no one with enough knowledge to understand that the bug could be severe (could cause AI to do something it shouldn't)
(or don't care and don't understand it)
This seems like the normal situation that I see from every company these days.

They have a much larger problem than this bug - did they get permission to use published works to train their systems? I'm running into more authors who are putting disclaimers on the front of their eBooks that if the company want's to train using their work, they need to contact the author for approval and potentially payment. I'm waiting for companies like Amazon, with their huge Kindle Unlimited system, and library publishers to start filing copyright infringement cases against the LLM companies.

Except - of course - any LLM that Amazon decides to train on all those ebooks (especially the Kindle Unlimited). And many of those ebooks (especially Kindle Unlimited) are probably generated by LLM, so it's The Circle of Life...

I'm betting the net result of that will be that the LLMs start putting disclaimers in their responses to say that if anyone wants to use the response to train an LLM, they should contact the company for approval and potentially payment.
Because of course the "AI" companies aren't going to start reading and respecting those disclaimers; they're just going to point their scraping tools at the book, and blindly shovel it all into their models.

Large Language Model - basically what's getting called AI these days (ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.)

Perhaps Limited Learning Model is a more appropriate term, upon reading the article.
Or also Lagging behind in Leap towards Maturity.

What I read into this:
If you order a LLM to babble, it will babble. Took them a long time to say nothing.
Nothing to see here...

I use DuckDuckGo exclusively and it is down right now (since 4:21am Eastern) -- see image of their tweet[^] or see the actual tweet at: x.com[^]
I also just tried to do an Image search from Edge and got this error from Bing[^].
What's up with Search Engines?

In general terms? Too many ads, too much AI-generated BS, and too much keyword-stuffing SEO-optimised crap filling the first page(s) of results for them to be much use any more.
At least DDG doesn't suffer too much from the first two.

Haha, that brings back fun memories.

Very interesting. Looks like the problem with DuckDuckGo was actually related to Bing.
The Brave browser tweeted this (image of tweet)[^].
Was actually a Bing API issue.
