A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yes, and you might also say that time-starved humans just reviewing LLM output may generate more accurate reports than having to write them from scratch in a rush. That's until humans get complacent or are expected to do even more per minute. But there is a fundamental difference. Unlike humans, LLMs don't understand context and don't do sanity checks. When they hallucinate they can do so wildly, without a sense of implications, but always with confidence.
