@mbkriegh Thanks! Really appreciate it. 🙂
@bkryer The vogon comparison is apt.
@fgtech That’s a possibility I hadn’t considered. I hope you’re right.
@todor That's my way of saying that most people's view of what the web can do is filtered through web frameworks that had to support Internet Explorer when they first came out. 😁
@mbkriegh 🙂👍🏻
@petebrown Yeah. That sounds accurate.
@mbkriegh Nice. 😎
@joelhamill Wordpress would have been much less likely to roll this out if Google hadn't clarified that AI-generated content is okay even if discovered and confirmed. Automattic has spent too much time fighting spam blogs on their platforms to go against Google Search's guidance.
If Google had even just vaguely discouraged AI generated text that would almost certainly have prevented Wordpress from shipping the feature.
@fgtech yup
@JohnPhilpin Oh yeah. That too.
@mbkriegh Thanks. 🙂
Interesting to hear about the research papers. The benchmarks for language model summarisation are usually collections of research papers, so it would stand to reason that their results there would be more accurate than with most other papers. And it would make sense that the citations were 100% wrong as that's exactly where they're weak.
The worry I would have is, what are the consequences if it's not 100% right, but 100% right 98% of the time and 100% wrong 2% of the time?
Because that's the dynamic with these models. You hit the long tail or an edge case that's just a little bit too novel to it and it goes bonkers, but because of all the other times it worked, you've come to trust it. I'm glad that it gets the citations 100% wrong. That should make people trust it less and they need to be distrustful, because its the 98% right use cases where adopting these tools can do the most damage.
@fgtech I had not 🙂
@mbkriegh Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it. 🙂
@esamecar My pleasure!
@nathanrhale Thanks!
@V_ Thanks! Took a bit of brainstorming to settle on this one but I like it.
@mbkriegh Currently I'm only selling it directly here as a PDF and EPUB bundle illusion.baldurbjarnason.com
I plan on making it available on the Kindle once I manage to wrap up some of my current projects, but I don't exactly know when.
@martinfeld Thanks! Much appreciated. 🙂
@jack I think you at the very least need to be able to set up files at an arbitrary URL. So, it depends, I guess?
@Denny That’s useful. Thanks!
@Denny It’s the downgrade of the sharing widget that affects me the most
@baldur And when you have a hardware keyboard, the character count is all but invisible 🙁
@JoeHoffman Yeah, the deterioration of our software ecosystem is an ongoing bugbear of mine.
@chriskrycho It really is. Shows you what sort of attitudes dominate at Microsoft.
