GitLab Enterprise somewhat recently added support for Amazon Q (based on claude) through an interface they call “GitLab Duo”. I needed to look up something in the GitLab docs, but thought I’d ask Duo/Q instead (the UI has this big button in the top left of every screen to bring up Duo to chat with Q):

(Paraphrasing…)

ME: How do I do X with Amazon Q in GitLab? Q: Open the Amazon Q menu in the GitLab UI and select the appropriate option.

ME: [:looks for the non-existant menu:] ME: Where in the UI do I find this menu?

Q: My last response was incorrect. There is no Amazon Q button in GitLab. In fact, there is no integration between GitLab and Amazon Q at all.

ME: [:facepalm:]

They took money away from cancer research programs to fund this.

With enough duct tape and chewed up bubble gum, surely this will lead to artificial general intelligence and the singularity! Any day now.

It ripped off this famous poem in the process:

I would estimate that Google's AI is helpful and correct about 7% of the time, for actual questions I'd like the answer to.

Connedicut.

I wondered if this has been fixed. Not only has it not, the AI has added Nebraska.

Stop using Google search, easy as that! I use duckduckgo and I have turned off AI prompts.

So this is the terminator consciousness so many people are scared will kill us all..

Well, for anyone who knows a bit about how LLMs work, it’s pretty obvious why LLMs struggle with identifying the letters in the words

Just another trillion, bro.

Blows my mind people pay money for wrong answers.

i rather manually search for info

You joke, but I bet you didn't know that Connecticut contained a "d"

I wonder what other words contain letters we don't know about.

Listen, we just have to boil the ocean five more times.

Then it will hallucinate slightly less.

Or more. There’s no way to be sure since it’s probabilistic.
