130 sats \ 3 replies \ @HardMoney 12h \ on: Why AI is so bad at sports information (?) Stacker_Sports
Ai companies are building verifiable finance data apis like perplexity finance or a range of other competitors. I’m sure something similar will occur for verifiable sports data
But then that doesn't feel like artificial intelligence anymore if they have to plug into specific APIs. It's just a natural language interface around a more traditional data service.

I'm not an authority on this, I just read and experiment a lot.
It's definitely a deviation from the AGI doom scenario that we've been spoon-fed by megalomanic CEOs for a few years now, but this is precisely what high end integrations do today, even ChatGPT pivoted to this model: "web search", or more generic: using RAG, which is what Perplexity has been doing for a longer time.
Perhaps it's not that strange that the role of the LLM plateaus at that of explaining, translation, transposition 1 and summarization and being an interface. That's the role of language in our day-to-day lives too. It's just not that all-knowing, all-influencing overlord that we've been led to believe was imminent.
