[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asking AI for sources is really the worst use for it- AI does best when you load in a document and ask for a summary, talking points, etc.

It’s also great for first drafts of things that don’t matter that much, like an email.

I’ve also loaded standard operating procedures and asked for improvements or automations I can make in processes.

I’ve also used it to grab code to automate some current processes- something that I really did not have time to figure out before- it’s amazing, but it’s a tool, and you have to know how to use it properly.[/quote]

I can see your point. At the same time, AI adds errors and mistakes. Checking for its mistakes takes as much time, or longer, than just doing the work myself from the start. [/quote]

Not really?  I’ve found high accuracy if I ask AI to summarize a document.  It’s recognizing patterns in text at that point, not trying to generate answers.  It saves an enormous amount of time.  I can ask it to draft out a memo and it basically works as an outline that I can fill in and elaborate on.

It’s a tool, it’s not magical, and you have to know how to use it.  You can’t treat it like voodoo or be overly reliant on it.  The more you understand how it works, the more powerful it becomes for you.[/quote]

Anyone who thinks AI is 1) actually AI and 2) a powerful tool is far too stupid to reliably check its output for accuracy.[/quote]

I appreciate the concern! Luckily, some of us have mastered the delicate art of using tools and critical thinking. It’s a niche skill set, I know.[/quote]

I went to an official Microsoft CoPilot training session on how to prompt AI.

They said you should include in the prompt things like "do not make up any of the information if you can't find an answer".  In other words you can reduce hallucinating by telling the AI not to hallucinate.  I didn't find that very comforting.  But telling y'all now so it can be part of your elite niche skillset.[/quote]

I had someone tell me not to worry about the hallucinations because "you can just instruct it not to." So ... why is that not the default? It's like building a word processor that inserts typos unless you tell it not to.[/quote]
