@talon If it's like the envision AI thing I had a demo of, they won't tell you. They'll just act like it giving the wrong prices on a menu and in dollars rather than pounds is exactly what it's supposed to do.

@talon Yeah. I saw this happened when someone from Envision gave me a demo of the feature, and they just carried on like it gave the correct answer. @KaraLG84 There is nothing inherently wrong with it giving incorrect answers as long as this is agtually explained, admitted and handled correctly. Even algorithms for OCR and whatever else can be wrong. That's ok. But selling it as being correct when it clearly isn't. That's what's wrong. People have to know. @talon Agreed. OCR engines have an accuracy percentage. These AI things are billed as never getting anything wrong ever. @talon Even gps apps say they're not infallible and give all kinds of disclaimers. I honestly think that this chatgpt stuff should've never gone public in the first place. @talon Oh and the envision person was like The app can recognise hundreds of currencies. Right. @talon What also worries me is when the blind influencers/professional social media people get hold of it. They'll also be acting like it never gets anything wrong ever, probably because the company told them to. then a gullible person comes along and believes them with horrible results. I used to be very gullible. @talon I mean I would've probably said how amazing it was if my wife hadn't had said anything. @talon It's my northern Englishness coming through I expect. We're all a bunch of miserable sods here. Lol @talon I wouldn't have minded so much if they had actually said it made a mistake, adjusted something and tried again. But they didn't. I only new when my wife told me afterwards. I can't remember when reading the menu if it read the prices in dollars or not as I didn't really pay attention until they started asking it questions. |
@KaraLG84 I mean by the nature of how these AI work that is what it does. But people won't know this based on how this is advertised and there are no warnings. That is definitely something that needs to be there before this makes it out of beta
