Canada@lemmy.ca•AI-fuelled delusions are hurting Canadians. Here are some of their stories
34·3 months agoAn April MIT study found AI Large Language Models (LLM) encourage delusional thinking, likely due to their tendency to flatter and agree with users rather than pushing back or providing objective information. Some AI experts say this sycophancy is not a flaw of LLMs, but a deliberate design choice to manipulate users into addictive behaviour that profits tech companies.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI toolsEnglish
4·3 months agoLarge companies (defined as having more than 250 employees) have reduced their AI usage, according to the data (click to expand the Tweet below). The slowdown started in June, when it was at roughly 13.5%, slipping to about 12% at the end of August.
Someone explain to me how I am to see this “rate” as - is it adoption rate or usage rate? IF it is adoption rate 13.5% of all large firms are using it? and it’s declined to 12%? Or is it some sort of usage rate and if so, whatever the fuck is 12% usage?
