These models are nothing more than glorified autocomplete algorithms parroting the responses to questions that already existed in their input.
They're completely incapable of critical thought or even basic reasoning. They only seem smart because people tend to ask the same stupid questions over and over.
If they receive an input that doesn't have a strong correlation to their training, they just output whatever bullshit comes close, whether it's true or not. Which makes them truly dangerous.
And I highly doubt that'll ever be fixed because the brainrotten corporate middle-manager types that insist on implementing this shit won't ever want their "state of the art AI chatbot" to answer a customer's question with "sorry, I don't know."
I can't wait for this stupid AI craze to eat its own tail.
Last I checked (which was a while ago) "AI" still can't pass the most basic of tasks such as "show me a blank image"/"show me a pure white image". the LLM will output the most intense fever dream possible but never a simple rectangle filled with #fff coded pixels. I'm willing to debate the potentials of AI again once they manage to do that without those "benchmarks" getting special attention in the training data.
Lol it do be that way
Thats actually quite interesting, you could make the argument that that is an image of "a pure white completely flat object with zero content", its just taken your description of what you want the image to be and given an image of an object that satisfies that.
