What are you talking about? They will measure it wrong 3 times, cut it wrong while saying it's correct.
They will measure it wrong 3 times, cut it wrong while saying it’s correct.
Are we talking about the AI or the contractor?
Yes
Both. Technically all three.
- The general purpose AI unsuited to the task.
- The untrained contractor directing the AI.
- The soulless profit-bot AI that manages the contractor.
That would be ideal.
That's literally what they do lol
Then try to fill the space with glue, to then conclude it needs to wipe everything and start over, removing the earth in the progress
just ignore the massive pile of fixodent in my garage that used to be a car
Damn it, I didn't know AI was that good already
Technically, it'll say it measured 3 times, when really it just found a number that someone on Reddit said they measured 3 times 10 years ago, and used that.
Hell, ai does that already
You're right to push back! I removed your lung, not your appendix.
You're absolutely right...
It doesn't even have to measure it first!
It does my head in how we ignore the shit answers language models give (I refuse to call them intelligent).
I swear unless it's baby shit, like where is the syntax error in this script, it almost always gets it wrong.
Making fresh scripts, even with padentic level prompting and detail just ends up with a script with multiple errors.
I've realised I would have written it just as quickly (after all the iteration work) if I had just done it myself.
The only I find LLMS are good for are glorified search engines. And even then it's horrifying how inefficient chatgpt is for search compared to say Google.
Not to mention it's run by a sociopath.
The most tragic and obvious version of AI already doing that is the school that was bombed in Iran due to AI messing up at best.
I assure you it can give you three different measurements from the same picture then go on to explain why it’s okay to eat the plywood.
Phenomenal
Have you seen AI with numbers? It doesn’t calculate, it just trying to give a statistically-likely answer (just like it does for every other next-word in its answer).
Some of them have to drop back to deterministic software tools (and even then sometimes they’re called with incorrect parameters because “intent” lol)
AI already emulates dumbasses it just got no legs. Don’t worry though, soon they’ll give it legs and guns. Nothing can go wrong guys. trust me bro the future is now

I mean.... it absolutely will get it wrong.
Ai "always incorrect"
Having a whole in your roof is a classic construction gotcha.
I'd like to see AI change blinker fluid or bring the foreman a bucket of steam
Wouldn't even know where to find a left handed screw driver
My favorite is having the new guy hold a bucket behind someone else using a grinder, to collect sparks for the spark plugs.
So nonsensical and yet so many people fall for it.
The Leftorium at the Springfield mall, obviously.

this is like my new favorite wikipedia article, the examples are so funny https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fool%27s_errand
I can see AI measuring something 3 times and cutting it wrong, more than I can see AI measuring things once and cutting it right.
I feel like that's what AI specializes in
AI does it five times, in my experience.
correction: it claimed to do it 5 times. (it did 0 times)

The problem is that you measured 3 times everyone knows you only measure twice and cut once
Good luck trying to emulate a dumbass, dumbass.
I'd like to see AI miss work because it's Grandma died... Again
The only thing hindering AI from taking 99% of the jobs is that robotic engineers still can't create a robot with the same level of dexterity as human hands.
Realistically, most jobs don't NEED hands. Most physical jobs can be done better with customized manipulators for the type of work being done.
We'd only need hands if we wanted a single robot model that could do multiple types of jobs, instead of a specific robot for each job.

Can AI shit post on Lemmy while pretending to work? Didn't think so.
You don't pay be to be busy 100% of the time, you pay be to be 100% busy sometimes.
Aw hell nah

i'd like to see ai measure something 3 times and get 4 different numbers
The furure is now.
if it gets me a kitten asleep on my lap i'll take it
Meanwhile ChatGPT setting a timer:
At least Ai will say sorry you are right, I pulled the measurements out of my ass
Hey, why don't you try cutting your dimensional lumber with a gas-powered chainsaw and be more accurate, eh?

...but perhaps, OLEICAT
This is why you always use the same tape measure. Tapes can measure differently, and some even need a set amount of tension to stretch it properly.
