Terence Tao reporting on the same problem we have seen endlessly in other domains: LLM’s produce output that “looks” correct but is often deeply wrong and even stupid on careful inspection.

I know of no domain in which this is NOT the case.

Terence Tao says today's AIs pass the eye test -- but fail miserably on the smell test.

They generate proofs that look flawless. But the mistakes are subtle, and strangely inhuman.

“There's a metaphorical mathematical smell.. it's not clear how to get AI to duplicate that.”

The statement critiques AI's limitations, emphasizing its inability to be fully trusted due to its mimicking nature. It engages in public discourse by discussing AI's reliability and capabilities.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement highlights potential harm in over-relying on AI, aligning with the principle of doing no harm. [+1]
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    It lacks empathy or constructive suggestions for improvement, focusing solely on criticism. [-1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in criticism but does not attack individuals, maintaining a focus on the technology itself. [+1]
