    Understanding the reason why an LLM is easy to trip up doesn’t really make it any less easy to trip up. The computer in Star Trek would have just given you the answer.

      Except I also explained how modern LLMs get around that problem. They’re not actually that easy to trip up.

        I also explained how they very famously and regularly don’t get around that problem. They remain pretty easy to trip up.

          Famously, yes. Accurately, no.

          This is like the “AI can’t draw hands” thing. It used to be a problem and was frequently called out as a tell or mocked, but most art generators do it fine nowadays and it isn’t called out so much any more. The strawberry problem will follow the same trajectory.

            Well I suppose when that trajectory leads to a destination where they become less easy to trip up we can revisit this.

              We’re already there. I explained how modern LLMs can figure it out if they need to. But people who don’t like AI aren’t paying attention to the state of the art so the criticisms tend to lag like this.

                Well like you said they’re “Following that trajectory” but as we all know they have not reached that destination. Just today I was using the newest version of Opus and had it assign ratings to things between 1-5 and then it analyze them and it proceeded to rate everything on a scale of 1-4. That’s not the level of consistency and accuracy required by the controlling computer of a starship brother. I guess they have a couple hundred years or so to get there, if they don’t just run out of money first I guess.
