Don't blindly trust what AI tells you, says Google's Sundar Pichai (opens in new tab)

Not really possible when the technology is built around probability.

It is simply *not* deterministic. The results are based on a roll of the dice. They lack consistency.

Ask the same question in a slightly different way or at different time and get a different answer. And not just different wording but also different meaning.

Would you store food in a refrigerator that might *not* keep it from spoiling? Marketing such a product would create a liability issue --- and I expect the same for AI.

The fact that we're investing $ trillions in such a product will not end well.

Doesn't matter, a good chunk of people are going to take everything at face value

Imagine being offered a choice of two oracles. The first oracle would give you an answer that is inspiring yet mysterious and oblique. The second gives an answer that is guaranteed to be unoriginal but also highly, highly plausible. It also maintains a record of all the questions and makes them available to unknown persons.

That is a very strange thing to say. They both are and should be doing both.
