Are there any good alternatives? AI, jobs, and the next generation Good essay. Yes, I know it's from a Microsoft VP. I have an eternal complaint about AI prognostications, which is that when people highlight the good things that AI does, they are almost always talking abo… Speculating about why an LLM gave a wrong answer is like trying to guess why a C++ program segfaulted - the possibilities are endless. It could have been training weights, or a prompt, or a RAG, or something in the fine tuning, or a bad to… ★ 1 RE: https://mastodon.social/@misalignedmag/116641387017647420 The larger question is, how do we improve the ability of the NHS to give health advice so people don't feel the need to ask generic LLM's instead? #NHS #AI #LLM #Healthcare
