We again exhort readers: do not use AI. Please discourage others from using AI. Large language models need so much content as training sets that they not only can’t afford to discriminate in terms of content, but they are even eating their bad output as part of their training sets. If you need remotely accurate answers, you need to opt out.

Excerpt:

There appear to be no mechanisms to see if the data is correct, they just scrape websites and take it as gospel. Bottom line is that a lot of what they present is junk. God help us if say medical professionals rely on it. And I can’t see any way out of it except by getting professionals to check the data and that is very expensive.
