Seems AI answers are what the most highly upvoted comment on Reddit would be for the same question.

Years of shitposting finally pay off 💪
This is the true "We did it Reddit" moment.
Lmao no way
Edit:
Oh my god
More edit:
For real though: There is a possibility that this is the most epic instance of malicious compliance that has occurred in the history of tech. There is no way a competent engineer would think Reddit would be a good (a primary characteristic of which would be “relatively unpoisoned”) training set. It’s just not possible. This was 100% some business and finance yahoo saying “do the thing” and Eng saying “ok but you’re not going to like it”.
Yeah, I thought Reddit would be a great data set at first because it comes with quality indicators via up/down votes. But, thinking about it more, a) total number of votes is more of a function of how popular the thread is and that comment's positioning is in that thread, b) comments can get upvoted for accuracy or humour, and in the latter case, many times the humour is specifically about making inaccurate comments. And there's a bias towards funny. My own most upvoted comments were mostly short funny ones while long thoughtful ones wouldn't get that much attention. Not that being long or thoughtful implied anything about correctness, because c) different communities had different biases, and d) it was all populist stuff, so something that sounds good but isn't accurate can outperform something that is accurate but less poetic.
And to drive home how stupid the way we're currently training approaching AI is, it's pretty much the equivalent of sticking a kid in front of an internet browser, taking a little while to teach them how to use the browser, then leaving them on their own while they learn everything else they know, including the languages it's all expressed in.
Instead we have a whole curated education system that takes over a decade. I think AI could reduce that time but it still needs the curation part as well as feedback systems to reinforce correct knowledge and correct bad knowledge.
Please tell me this is not real
Google’s unbelievably incompetent AI or the “info”?
Because the info is wrong, but this is an actual screenshot of the outrageously stupid (and frequently dangerous) stuff that Gemini says.
The first one lol
It’s the first result when you search for that string
Bard 2.0 is as removed as the original one.
It is not real.
There have been a lot of "inspect element" fakes going on.
But there are also a lot of real ones. Like "Drink 2 quarts of piss" or "Add glue to your pizza"
It told me the Titanic was raised from the sea floor with diesel bags.
So I wouldn't be surprised
that's so stupid that's not even ridiculous
we did it with whale bladders
This has to be fake.
It is. From what I can tell the AI doesn't usually respond to "obscene" questions.
I'm almost certain that it is, though the fact that there's even a shred of doubt says it all.
Wat.
Please let this be just a fake one
Concerning.
OpenAI/MS media alliance goes brrrrrr
Isn't AI amazing?
Thanks
For me it's in the phase in witch he tries to be sarcastic but it can't ...
Can we stop framing stupid answers on reddit as questions for Google and pretending like it's normal responses please?
