Comment on Folk are getting dangerously attached to AI that always tells them they're right

I use it, but have established a realistic mindset that it’s alwqys confidentially incorrect and in many cases I’m better off walking away and just doing the thing myself.

In saying that, I’ve also established a mindset that people who actively rely on genAI must be low on intelligence. Not only lacking in knowledge or pursuing knowledge of whatever they’re using it for, but genuinely of a mental calibre that is unable to discern or realise its low performance.

Someone here pointed out the error of the old “even a broken clock is right twice a day” cliche. If you have to independently check if it’s correct, then it’s not giving you any useful information.

I gave mine rules to always question me and provide critical feedback. It’s quite annoying sometimes but much better than when I was a genius for just about anything.

  I watched an interview with Hannah Fry a few weeks ago and she said that is how she prompts the LLMs she uses.
