AI will make things better

[–] [email protected] 112 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Hahaha, I like that having it re-read the question fixed the issue...

[–] [email protected] 43 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I tried the same Ai and asked it to provide a list of 20 things, it only gave me 5. I asked for the rest and it also apologized and then provided the rest. It's weird that it stumbles at first but is able to see it's error and fix it. I wonder if it's a thing that it 'learned' from the data set. People not correctly answering prompts the first time.

If only that worked on humans!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

I personally don't think a large section of the population meets the requirement for general intelligence so I think it's a bit rich to expect the AI to do it as well.

I still want to know what the fucking fuck triggered "possible self harm" in your first question.

You have to search for "motorcycle 38 year old single mom sexy" otherwise it's considered "grooming" now

[–] [email protected] 52 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Why do you want to date a single mom? Are you trying to gain access to minors without supervision? Child sexual abuse is illegal.

Get resources.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What do you mean, date? Are you against long-term monogamous commitment and marriage? First grooming now respectable societal collapse? For shame.

This UI and your notification icons suggest to me that you might want to try new apps and avenues to the information you seek.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

You're clearly just a bot trying to sell him different apps. So am I, I guess? Or is OP the bot and now he bots are talking about the bots?

I don't think it's dead Internet theory. But this is more dystopian in that private corporations are censoring our speech and searching based on their own criteria.

I find csam repulsive, but having a corporation or ai restrict unrelated content because their system construes an innocent search as potential bad is almost worst.

Millennial men having the realization they never stopped calling women "girls."

[–] [email protected] 73 points 5 months ago (10 children)

Still better than "females".

Your femalefriend never has a females night out?

I never really developed an association with age as it relates to the term "girl" or "boy". Sure, I'd call a child a boy or a girl over a man or a woman every time, but there's not some magical age at which it becomes inappropriate.

We have brains and we are capable of interpreting things based on context. Things in the real world are fluid and flexible and rigid definitions are silly in the face of societal, cultural, and personal diversity. Stop trying to find outrage. It's pointless and you end up being wrong more ways than you're right.

It's not some terrible offense, unless intended as such.

There's a new Kids In The Hall season out on Amazon, and within 5 minutes of the first episode, two main characters are balls-out nude.

I wanted to see if it was a prosthetic, or aue naturale, so I googled "Kids In The Hall nude scene" for some behind the scenes info...

You can imagine my shock when that warning popped up, and fair enough too...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Just so you can avoid more risky searches, it's aue naturale, and it's definitely at least one of the ones you wouldn't want it to be.

Kevin McDonald has not aged well, so of course he foists his full nude self on us all.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 5 months ago (4 children)

may i ask why are you searching that on facebook?

[–] [email protected] 53 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wanted to see sexy motorcycle girls

In the end, who cares why. Why does it matter. If you're just ribbing them nvm, but if it was an actual interrogation, it does not matter why.

Always wonder about these images. Even without straight up editing them with paint/photoshop you could just search for something explicitly outrageous first, then type something ordinary in the search bar and take a screenshot.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I understand the desire for conspiracy, but I guess try yourself, and if in luck (or you're in Germany, US, UK) might see same results. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think warning people they might expose themselves to csam meets the definition of "broke the internet". I bet if you replace "girl" with "woman" you'll get the expected results.

This is why aggressive content moderation is a bad idea.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (3 children)

No, that's why content moderation employing a braindead AI and half-baked algorithms is a bad idea. If (and that's a GIGANTIC if) it was possible to have real humans checking stuff without destroying privacy, aggressive content moderation would be fine. Of course, I'm ignoring stuff like censorship, thoughtpolicing and government-backed oppression as that's a whole other factory of cans of worms.

Why are you looking up "motorcycle girl sexy"?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 5 months ago (1 children)

'hot girl on bike' has been a staple of garage calendars for decades.

Men like it when two things they like do a crossover lol

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (4 children)

Girl x Excavator crossover just dropped
