Bc I don't have all day to look for into all the engineering books and docs, he searches for me and then I go check.
Dimensioning pipes, valves, actuators and and meters kind of material an etc can indeed be tricky and progress to lost of lifes.
Is my assistant, but I am not dumb to not check its information. I am an engineer, damn, not a programmer. I have CRIMINAL RESPONSABILITY over my work, I will never outsource it to an AI. But if I want to check a equation that I don't remember anymore, or a norm of the ISA or ISO i can go after this, or check if (according to my own materials) there is another better and more adequate technology to implement instead, It helps a lot.
Also, I always request it to citate the source and if possilble the chapter and page. If I check everything is OK then I proceed to do my job.

Eventually the main use is as a database that you can interact with human natural language, I don't believe this will hurt anybody...
I guess the only limitation is how much will be the real price will be...

The utility, cost and the complexity of training and operating language models is grossly exagerrated, in order for liars to raise valuations into trillions. As deepseek showed, even a moderate amount of optimization reduces the costs by orders of magnitude.
It is already feasible to run these locally, and very soon it will be cheap to do so.

I think as of now, based on my own experience, AI is good for a few tasks, doing real research is not one of them. It is especially dangerous if you use AI to break in to a new knowledge domain you have little experience before. You will get syntactically correct paragraphs dosed with hallucination.
I hope for a fallout game with unlimited AI generated map and storyline, dreaming up this kind of over the top fantasy world is ideal for the current generation of hallucination ridden LLM.

Love fallout but I can see the AI dreaming up level deigns that require glitches to solve. Never change, Bethesda!

I personally wouldn't touch LLM Ai stuff with a 10 foot pole now, it used to seem cool to me, now, it's being used to spam garbage to the main internet. (I'm also a little annoyed that ai bros use llm image generators to send videos of dead people doing random stuff to loved ones, Zelda Williams for example. But that's a different story) I also delete Google Gemini off of my phone too, and I find the ads for Google Gemini pretty insulting to the highest degree as well too. But I'll stop being a debby downer.

My professional experience with Gemini, the soulless LLM, not the protocol. — I do science type stuff. It's a living, for now at least. My employer encourages us to make use of Google Gemini. So I've been playing around with it. Here are my experiences: I asked Gemini to summarize journal articles I've written. Gemini gets the basic details wrong and then butchers the conclusions. Maybe that's too esoteric. So I bring up an old data set I've analyzed before and ask it to analyze it for me. I...
