I agree that people that dismiss current AI models as hype and slop have not used them to any extent. I am constantly astounded by their abilities. The problem with dismissing them as a grift is that it is a distraction from how we should be thinking clearly about how to confine them in the event that they are not a grift.

    They are, at best, an unreliable tool you need to babysit. And because of that, you need to be able to do what you're asking the tool to do so you can verify it actually did what you asked.

    That's is not at all how these tools are being marketed, or how many are using them. So the current result is 90% of usage is hype and slop.

    Nah, just build a harness that validates the output of one model by running it through the same model again to check for hallucinations... And to make sure that second pass isn't hallucinating, uh.... run it through a model a third time to check the second isn't hallucinating.
