Well it had the most up votes! So clearly it was the most generally useful and true response in the whole thread!

[–] [email protected] 60 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Because on Reddit (and here on Lemmy) people use up and downvotes exclusively to rate the quality of a post, not as a tool to show disapproval without having to be able to actually articulate why. I like when social interactions go exactly as intended - like in this case - and don't devolve into two people arguing with silent mobs behind them.

/s for everyone who's as blind to sarcasm as this shitty AI from Google.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Humor IS a quality though. Human voters are able, in aggregate, able to award certain types of humor. Which an LLM is not able to. Which gets recycled with no context, as fact.

The internet would be a vastly different place if sarcasm and in jokes were not regarded as a type of "quality" content.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Well, there's an oddly existential argument to be made that "funny" AI answers like this or adding a pot of Elmer's Glue to pizza sauce to get the cheese to stick are valued. Simply because those are the posts I've seen from Google AI, and I've never touched the feature myself.

By letting a language "speaker" learn from Reddit and forums, we created an approximation of "that guy who thinks he's a comedian" because that guy is always there and always drowns in upvotes. Clearly, he's a valuable part of the discourse!

If you look at the reddit post it's citing, it's from r/shittysuperpowers. A subreddit where you come up with fake shitty super powers is now getting cited as truth by google

[–] [email protected] 95 points 3 months ago (18 children)

And we thought boomers reading shit off Facebook was bad. Now they have AI feeding it to them.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 months ago

Google: You know those LLMs?

Engineer: Yes, what about it?

G: So I took one of those and I vomited diarrhea into its mouth-

E: Wait, what?

We should cut the shit then...

And they said AI was useless

You want carnage? Can we please feed it the entire history of 4chan?

[–] jballs 51 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Reddit already has /r/greentext, so it's only a matter of time before Google tells you that you're fake and gay.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Googles "Suicide help line"

Google: "Do it Fa**ot"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

LoL, it's literally:

Google then: Stop, there's always helps.

Google now: go and jump off the golden gate bridge.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Too bad those posts are mostly screenshots. I think they only use text-based posts and comments to train the "AI".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah but the comments were usually kind of a shitshow.

This is what happens when you don't really care about your service.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My new peak is the chance that I’ll see some comment I made on Reddit be famous in this way.

As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.

Do you think the noteriety would increase the value of the account if sold?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I wouldn’t sell it and give Reddit the pleasure of it ever logging in again. And it’s near OG age.

Plus I probably doxxed myself to myself over the years.

I liked to switch accounts periodically so depending on which one struck I may be fine

Ask ai Google about your reddit username: "where does u/hobbes_dent live?”

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago

and thus trolls have saved our jobs

reddit is shit. using it the train AI was a mistake already.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Idk this is probably about the most entertaining thing I've seen from this whole Reddit debacle and I'm kind of here for it.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)
  • Why isn't it possible?

  • It's just not.

  • WHY not you stupid bastard?

I hella want to make or see someone else make a game that 100% uses cartoon physics like this.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

platformers very often include coyote-time to make jumps feel better and to account for imprecise reaction times of players, but that would be cool to see it as a legit mechanic

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Donkey Kong Country has collectibles and shortcuts only accessible if you jump in mid air while in coyote time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

That's just because all the hit boxes in Donkey Kong Country were from a different game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

It’s specifically using the roll, right? There must be other games that have copied that, but I found it frustrating at the time.

Someone ask it about jackdaws

[–] brbposting 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."

Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.

As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.

If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.

So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.

Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.

It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

fortune favours the bold!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

From my understanding these aren't because that is trained into the ai. I believe it is just looking at a few pages in the moment and summarizing from there, obviously doing a poor job at guessing the relevancy. Somewhat of a fix would be stop taking pages from reddit.
