It told me it was reasoning, you know, and it's Google.

So...

that there needs to be more education to people of like, you need to, you check this, you know, and part of the talk I did on AI was, you know, all the kind of basic stuff you've seen where we get these world-class models that because of how tokenization works, can't count how many hours are in strawberry was like the famous one we had.

Yeah.

the academic papers, you know, and academic papers are meant to be like the source of our knowledge and truth, right?

Did you see the term vegetative electron microscopy coming up in these papers?

Yeah.

And you go on to Google Scholar and this has been, you know, this is now in academic papers because they've been AI generated.

And it just inspired, this is kind of in this inspiring problem that, and then we've, you know, we heard Google recently say, oh, we're trying to just train our models on what we identify as human content.

Because that's another huge problem, right?

Again, if you start training models on hallucinated data, incorrect data, and it becomes like ink in the water, you can't ever then separate what's correct and what's not.

So that's always irked me from a safety point of view from search, and I feel there needs to be more responsibility for them labelling, look, this is high, you need to check this.

And again, I bet you may have covered this on previous episodes about the studies that have come out about how developers have actually been slower in a lot of cases using AI.

And I, you know, I've seen that, right?

Because you write, you write the code, and like, you don't read because you haven't thought it out yourself, you don't really know quite how it works, then you've got to maintain it, then something breaks.

And then, you know, my experience of coding with AI, if you use it to debug is it gets progressively worse, essentially, like, it will do a great job on that first script, you kind of add to it, and then you get a problem.

And then,

you know, it's the classic programmer thing of, you know, there's 99 bugs in the code, fix one, there's 100 bugs in the code kind of thing.

But really fast with AI, right?

So yeah, this is the thing that makes me nervous.
