Joke is stolen from a 4 year old Quora post. Like everything with AI it’s just contextless stolen content barfed up

Thing is, chatgpt can easily answer this question correctly. So it's not an LLM issue, it's just that google has managed to combine google's horrible results with an LLM to give us the worst of both worlds.

Probably just luck that chatgpt pulled an answer from a different website.

They're probably trying to make it as cheap as possible, and thus, extra shitty.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

I'd bet it's wholly dependent on their shitty results. They're basically passing it a prompt like "parse these 10 $cached_webpage_results[] to answer this $question" and since your prompts tend to heavily prime your answers it's gonna pull from the shitty included search results rather than its own training.

It's shitty advertising focused results

I love that this is what the future of capitalism looks like. Products that are complete nonsense

Woaw this AI is so smart, it gave me a recipe yesterday to mix my spaghetti sauce with some paint for a yummy combination!

[-] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 40 points 5 months ago

But it does have a certain comedic timing tho. I've been laughing at "and coconut" for 5 minutes straight.

[-] footfaults@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months ago

Did you see the one about adding glue to pizza sauce so the cheese doesn't slide off

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

Where I got the inspiration from lol

This is somehow funnier than the One Giant Hand comic about getting a Nobel prize for knowing most of the members of U2

[-] culpritus@hexbear.net 37 points 5 months ago

Was just reading the tech post about Nvidia being worth more than Amazon and Tesla combined due to hype over Nvidia AI chips. This is the value proposition that is manifesting that hype lmao.

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

And people were worried there wouldn't be enough high profile fuckups to dunk on.

[-] Des@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

i turned this shit off the second it popped up on google.

I'm pretty skeptical of the value of these LLMs, but Google's isn't even good enough to call it half baked..

These models are ultimately crap in my opinion. They're not optimizing for intelligence or correct answers, they're optimizing for seeming correct and intelligent. All the feedback they get from users is uninformed, you only ask an LLM what you don't know.

I used to think these tech companies knew what they were doing, at least somewhat. It's just a bunch of business dipshits running from fad to fad burning tons of money until they fall backwards into a business. Then they monopolize it and enshittify it.

Google has a problem where they let OpenAI get way ahead of them in terms of institutional knowledge and product capability, and with the number of people who really understand how these LLMs work being countable on one hand, no amount of money they throw at the problem can bridge that gap.

The smart thing to do would be to develop slowly and not release anything until they have something good - but they have to show something to their investors, so that's not an option. They have to release something in a short amount of time, and they simply don't have the capability to release something on that timetable that doesn't suck.

This reminds me of that horrible Willy Wonka event with the AI-generated script

"What is that? It's the Unknown!"

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

i was trying to look up strategies or solutions for trunk organizing, specifically my older-but-once-common model of vehicle. there are of course a gazillion hits with fake reviews/recommendations for crap products to sift through, but now that LLMs have been around for a minute, there are fake articles that state and restate the topic over 500 words saying nothing substantive.

eventually i realized that the quickest way to sort through answers is to do an image search of the question, because my eyes could quickly find a relevant picture which would take me to some old vbulletin forum where people discussed this topic back in the world before the internet became a huge pile of revenue-seeking shit wizardry.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
