  • the specs of an old piece of equipment and how to repair are suspect.

    That’s the most dangerous thing you can ask an AI to do. At best its going to just do a google search for you and then mangle the results. If you ask an AI for the dimensions of a specific product it will get it wrong.

    Someone should make an AI that just googles shit and then shifts through the SEO slop to find original sources.





  • Fortunately not that bad but the people who are using it do get praised while being a massive burden on everyone who has to review the code or worse, documents.

    I did see one clever usage to basically replace most front end devs with AI:

    • client asks LLM question about our data.
    • LLM generates code to query our data and display charts
    • client sees results

    All runs with just mistral:8b. Very flexible solution compared to having front end devs constantly iterate on a UI monstrosity meant to serve every single clients needs. Of course this assumes the AI is writing the query correctly.







  • There’s a lot of pipeline between the filter at the plant and your home which is where something like lead contamination would happen. However from wiki,

    When filtering water, charcoal carbon filters are most effective at removing chlorine, particles such as sediment, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), taste and odor. They are not effective at removing minerals, salts, and dissolved inorganic substances.

    And The EPA, make it sound like Carbon filtering is not an effective solution to PFAS contamination at an industrial scale. So I doubt your Brita pitcher is going to do better.
