As an example I googled how old am I and put my date of birth in and Gemini was off by 3 years. This is the most basic of math questions.
There are too many people who are relying on this as the absolute truth.

Grok basically uses Reddit for a huge portion of its results, and also frequently uses extremely questionable groups like the ADL as well.
Its nonsense

The results current versions are returning are a bit specious. You'd be wise to verify anything it tells you, and to understand that bias can be built in by whoever sets it up.

I am less bullish on it now than I was when I first started using it months ago. Seems to be getting worse.
Kind of like iPhone autocorrect, which I guess is sort of the same thing.

Whenever I read the words "according to ChatGPT" or something equivalent, I know whatever comes next is likely completely fabricated and that the author is a moron.

There was a study released showing where it crawls for information. Over 50% was from reddit.

People here think it's going to take everyone's job.
It's wrong most of the time on stuff I ask it about. I ask, it gives me an answer, I try to verify, it's useless.

I've tried to compile data from several excel sources and it makes mistakes all the time. When you tell it that it's wrong it's like "you're right" and makes the mistake AGAIN.

Co worker has been begging me to try using it for breaking down project specs. Figured id humor him and give it a shot. Its shocking how off it was. Most glaring was spec called for a 10,000 gallon plastic storage tank but gemini claimed we needed a 1,000,000 gallon tank. Went ahead and stopped right there

I couldn't agree with you more.
People treat AI like something it isn't. And, they are VERY willing to adopt it as an authority.

It’s an aggregator of data that lives on line. So if the underlying data is incorrect, what it provides you is incorrect. And any moron is allowed to put whatever they want online.

I use AI as a glorified secretary. For researching anything? Absolutely not. If I ever ask it to do something like that, I will just look at the sources it found and used and ignore whatever conclusions the AI reached from it.

AI on you: "Sidewalkside is kind of like that one uncle at Thanksgiving who always brings the weird casserole — nobody asked for it, but somehow it gets eaten and talked about for a week.
So yeah, he’s a “good” poster in the same way a kidney stone is “good” — memorable, painful, and guaranteed to make you rethink your life choices"

Grok expert has been solid for me, but I still only use it for things I already have knowledge on and QA anything I have it produce.
I can notice the improvements in several of them, but they are a ways off from replacing a FTE for me, for example.

I completely agree with this. It seems like it goes up and down which I suppose has to do with model updates. You have to question everything it does in terms of research and math.
I’ve had similar experiences with the highest level ChatGPT, most recent was a succession thing and it not understanding a great grandparents is not your parents’ parent.

I only use it for non-important things, like how much of a certain medicine to give my infant or if and when I should move my entire retirement account to cash.
