Spent a whole weekend trying to get a custom AI model to stop giving weird answers.

I was fine-tuning a model for a simple chat helper, but it kept mixing up basic facts (like saying water boils at 90 degrees Celsius, which is just wrong). It took me three full days of tweaking the training data to finally fix it. Has anyone else had an AI just confidently give out bad info like that?

Man that sounds so frustrating. Spending a whole weekend on one wrong fact is brutal. I've seen models get weirdly stubborn about the simplest stuff too, like mixing up dates or names. It feels like you're arguing with a brick wall sometimes.

Ugh, tell me about it. I once spent an hour trying to correct a model on something basic and it just would not budge.

Totally get that brick wall feeling. It's like they latch onto a wrong detail with absolute certainty. Makes you want to bang your head against a real one.

Yeah the brick wall thing is so real. I had one keep telling me the wrong zip code for a supply house last week, even after @wade_west56 sent me the right link. It was stuck on this one old number and just would not let it go.

Feel your pain, @morgan326, that stubborn loop is the absolute worst.
