[TriLUG] Linux From Scratch

[William Sutton via TriLUG]

I don't have a lot of faith in AI for anything that requires truth or 
accuracy.  "AI" (LLMs) are just probablity graphs of what words are most 
likely to follow other words.  As such, they don't have a knowledge of 
things as they are (really, don't have knowledge, per se).

There is a reason why some online tech answer platforms have banned the 
use of, say, chatGPT-generated answers (including, for example, GPT 
claiming that API calls have parameters that don't actually exist).

There is a reason why judges are getting really put out with attorneys who 
submit case documents generated by GPT (for example, GPT creating 
non-existant case names out of thin air, and then citing them).

There is at least one case of a LLM AI telling a user that the world would 
be better off without him and that he should self-delete.

You might get lucky ... but it's better to actually know what you're doing 
and why you're doing it.
