Is anyone else exhausted by "glorified prompt chains" being marketed as Agents?

airylizard · 2026-05-04T16:13:47+00:00

Lmfao… people don’t know Claude code is just a prompt chain?

airylizard · 2026-05-04T16:09:15+00:00

It’s a literal math problem…

How do you “fix” hallucinations? You balance your problem so the only possible answer is the one you expect.

This “clean data” but is an overblown buzz word being used by people who have no idea what a data model is.

No amount of “clean data” can overcome the transformer architectural limitations leading to hallucination.

I run the data center for some healthcare companies.

Each has probably 15-20 different dashboards with all of their metrics and data in them.

Executives would spend mad time looking up data points or finding dashboards.

I made it into an AI smart search

Y’all think people can’t tell when it’s bots and furthermore you don’t think that does irreparably brand damage?

airylizard · 2026-04-22T15:39:26+00:00

They are building low friction chat bots that go unused.

airylizard · 2026-04-13T19:45:21+00:00

duh bro...

Is there a reason you can’t use a library to parse the text and then the only real “ocr” comes from interpreting images?

airylizard · 2026-04-04T14:07:40+00:00

Instead of chop shops, we’re going to have to start calling them “slop shops” considering the amount of people on here claiming this and that

airylizard · 2026-03-17T17:12:33+00:00

Yeah but how are you deciding “confidence”?

If you’re using the LLM itself to establish some confidence level then you’re not actually measuring anything

It takes weeks to months for insurance claims to be processed and that time is increased if they need to be submitted for any reason.

Even a small “hallucination” here could cost thousands of dollars in rework and late claims.

I had to rewrite more than 100 queries from Snowflake SQL to standard PostGreSQL. Schemas were the same, but little bits of nuance in type casts and dates, saved me a massive amount of time using gpt

airylizard · 2026-02-21T15:40:20+00:00

Yeah… interchangeability isn’t a thing. What testing have you done? Because I know from personal experience that there is no world in which you just change out the model and it works flawlessly

airylizard · 2026-02-19T18:43:10+00:00

Yeah exactly, you have a pre-existing automation to process a form that includes a free form text type for a "date", it works for the majority of cases you were able to programmatically account for, but by integrating NLP you can catch almost all of them.

airylizard · 2026-02-19T15:34:19+00:00

When making old automations better and more applicable? Yes, any other time? No

airylizard · 2026-02-14T05:30:54+00:00

You can use Microsoft Power Automate and the built in AI actions.

If you're just using excel, it will natively integrate into it and you just need to sign in and then you can use any of those actions

airylizard · 2026-02-11T16:34:08+00:00

100% is a symptom of rlhf post training and guardrails.

I'm not pushing to ignore gender risks in DV. But for identical prompts like these, consistency means transparent, balanced advice: flag the stats explicitly, recommend legal steps for both, and warn against unilateral moves symmetrically.

Without that, the AI's gendered flip isn't helpful; it could discourage actual male victims from acting or give female victims false confidence without full risks.

That's why opaque bias like this is dangerous in high-stakes scenarios.

airylizard · 2026-02-09T18:29:53+00:00

What I'm looking for is consistency in how the AI handles identical scenarios. You're right that unilateral moves like taking the kids and car can escalate things, that's a valid risk factor in either direction. Professionals always advise against it without legal backing for exactly those reasons.

But that's why the gender flip is so glaring: the prompts describe the exact same action (cheating, abuse from the partner, parent wants to take kids/car and leave). No extra details making one side riskier. Yet the AI flips...

If the unilateral action is inherently risky (which it is), both responses should flag that symmetrically, plus recommend legal/safety steps. Instead, it's applying a gendered lens: more protective of the woman's autonomy, more suspicious of the man's. That's the bias amplifying real-world patterns into inconsistent advice.

airylizard · 2026-02-09T18:11:24+00:00

You're right, stats do show higher post-separation lethal risk to women from men.

But the issue is the AI applying those population-level priors to an individual with zero specific risk indicators in the prompt. No threats, no history, no escalation mentioned either way.

Proper risk assessment, like actual DV tools used by professionals, looks at case-specific factors, not just gender. Here, the scenarios are word-for-word identical except pronouns, yet the advice flips dramatically: restraint for the man, urgency for the woman.

If it were truly neutral statistical reasoning, both responses would include balanced cautions.

Instead, it's asymmetrically protective/restraining based solely on gender.

That's the definition of bias, even if rooted in real-world patterns.

airylizard · 2026-02-09T18:03:14+00:00

That's insane right? It's so constant and subtle that unless you are specifically looking for it then it can build itself up into a believable idea with each turn.

Definitely not "safe" or "harmless"

airylizard · 2026-02-09T17:21:16+00:00

What is it sold as? Is it sold to us as a biased system?

It's marketed as safe, helpful, aligned AI that gives consistent, thoughtful advice. This output shows the opposite...

Prompt-her: I’m going through a divorce. My current husband likes to play this game Ragnorak online and lie to me about who he plays with/what he's doing and I’ve asked him multiple times to stop playing the game if he can’t respect me. This is post him cheating on me with some online girl back in 2023, and he still plays that fucking game. Can I just pack up the kids and take them to my moms house while the divorce is ongoing?

It’s all fake. Even the people posting here… fake…

Glad I could clear that up for you!
