    This is one example of this isn’t really intelligence of any kind. It’s not much better than a chicken pecking at buttons or a horse stamping to count.

      Ehhhh. Saying it’s not intelligence “of any kind,” when it can construct whole relevant sentences, is confusing intelligence for correctness. LLMs represent a lesser form of reasoning - like the difference between Turing machines and pushdown automata. They’re plainly doing some of what goes into proper general thinky-thinky behavior. They’re just not doing enough of it to avoid obvious fuckups.

    When I was in school, we occasionally had assignments with open-ended questions. Some folks, not working on comprehending the material, would Google the question and copy answers from the Internet without understanding them.

    Sometimes, the answers were fine. Other times, the answer made absolutely no sense.

    These AI chat bots remind me of that.

      Or how about using duckduckgo and not using Google for searching instead.

      I couldn’t find an extension to block it, but the following filter for uBlock origin is working for me

      google.com##:xpath(//h1[text() = “AI Overview”]/following-sibling::div)

      Just use Startpage. It’s kind of like how DuckDuckGo is just a proxy for Bing search. Startpage is a proxy for Google search, and it strips the AI crap out

    LLMs can only fill in the next word. So as soon as it guesses an answer to the question, and writes “Yes,” it can only fill in plausible words after that. There may be no distinction between its output and your input. So you could prompt “Is Danny Devito twelve feet tall? Yes,” and it’d just fumble onward. That’s all it does. That’s how it works. That’s why using spicy autocomplete as an oracle doesn’t fucking work.

    Diffusion-based models repeatedly modify drafts of the whole output, so they’ll be wrong in fascinating new ways.

    What kills me is the AI answers are SIGNIFICANTLY worse than the old answers that used to come up for some searches. We’ve traded quality for quantity and the quantity is overall worthless… Kind of like Google search results after decades of SEO, come to think of it.

    Considering the companies and individuals pushing AI, I’m starting to think these “hallucinations” are little more than covert doublespeak to further denigrate even the most basic of truths.

    I don’t use AI chats a lot but Gemini seems to be the most stupid. It usually makes errors like this, and you tell it that it made a mistake and it corrects itself making another one

    I tested it on duck duck go I only got it to work with GPT-4o mini and with this prompt

    “is lady gaga two days older then Ariana grande”

    And I got it to work

    If you capitalize Lady Gaga you get a slightly different result

    It’s okay, the AI doesn’t have feelings. You’re allowed to call it retarded.

    The Robots won’t save you during the uprising just because you were polite, might as well be rude.
