Regarding #AI #hallucinations: I am writing a demo code (in #Rstats) for a statistical paper and I needed to write some linear algebra stuff (I barely use R for this, so I don't keep that part of the language in working memory). Even with the chatbots having scrubbed all the linear algebra books there were still issues getting the *algorithms correctly*. But once I gave it the algorithms it did ok (except when it reversed the order of matrix multiplication lol).

So if you are asking me how things may play out with #AI and #programming here is a partially informed opinion: domain experts with some coding knowledge or coding experts with some domain knowledge will absolutely rock this. Everyone else will be screwed for different reasons:
1) domain experts without any coding knowledge will eat the humblepie of coding hallucinations and
2) coding experts without any domain knowledge will be humiliated by domain hallucinations

Ah yes, the ancient prophecy: Only those with 53% coding and 47% domain expertise shall survive. All others will be devoured by the demon Hallucination and forced to eat the sacred Humblepie 🍰 #AIDoomLore #PromptKnightChronicles

There is actually no system that *reliably* eliminates hallucinations in these statistical systems that are best thought of as Bloom filters over large vector databases.

Remember it takes only one critical failure to lose street credo and this is going to be the Thermopylae of people who hope to use these tools to circumvent the lack of any #programming experience or domain familiarity

@ChristosArgyrop i don’t trust any data analysis anymore for this reason “hay gemini make like a chart out of this or something. Make it compelling so i get tenure/make the corporate sponsor happy”

Math is like, vibes man, it’s more important to choose sweet colors
