And that's another pervasive problem.
Google is in a much better position
to guard itself from this because obviously they have two decades of infrastructure of web crawling metrics they've got a knowledge graph so they can kind of ground their ai gemini against their knowledge graph and it's still not perfect but they have that data
I don't believe as far as I know, for instance, like open AI has a knowledge graph of these are all the things and how they're connected to, to ground against.
So what do they do?
I think... So, for me, I think reasoning is a very interesting term to pick.
And, you know...
As far as I understand, it's not reasoning in any way you or I would consider that term in the human context of reasoning.
It's essentially a loop of kind of trying to desperately fact check whether we've hallucinated stuff, trying to recheck what averages are and find verifying information, do things like query expansion, etc.
which for me still you know at the moment feels quite basic and i'm never going to be one to say oh well you know this technology doesn't work because it does this because technology is forever moving right and you know i've always been and because i always come off very negative about ai
I have been an AI maxi for years in terms that I've been telling people AI is going to be amazing.
And I still think it's probably going to, well, you know, it's one of our last hopes of solving all of the general mess we've got ourselves into, right?
So, you know, I'm really hopeful in terms of that, you know, and there were people in the 50s being like,
oh, AI will never be able to defeat a human at chess because it's a strategic game.
And it's like, I've got more than enough power in my watch to defeat 99.9% of players of a planet Earth at chess, right?
It's like a super simple thing to do now.
And then, you know, we've come on and built very specialised models.
So I wouldn't... I'm never going to be like, oh, reasoning doesn't work.
It's not like human.
But I think that...
