AI will always find a difference

3 points by ghassenfaidi · 3 comments · 1 min read


Ask AI "what's the difference between X and Y". It mostly would happily generate a table and compare them even if they are interchangeable in practice. Reminds me of a trick a teacher taught me in HS, if you don't know the answer to a question that asks you two compare two things, just state the definition "X is .... while Y is …"

It looks like a feature. Probably the user wants to know the tiny detail that make the word different. For example there are words that you say to your friens and others in a bussines meeting.

    The thing is, often it's wrong and could mislead people. especially for beginners who would trust the tool too much. You could easily ask "is HTTP same as REST?" And you may receive a table like this (which many people prefer than reading the rest of the response because it's faster) https://imgur.com/a/JRkUIkx same if you ask "is deep learning same as neural networks?" you may receive this https://imgur.com/a/MgVkD4u It can really compare anything and won't complain. and there are much more subtle questions.
