@q3k Ah, all the things I didn't learn because I didn't use GenAI for learning!
I didn't learn that Carrot from Pepper & Carrot is a black cat, I didn't learn that the bottom side of a Space Shuttle orbiter is white, I didn't learn that killall kills processes by name in Solaris.
And I didn't not learn more because I didn't really try to play more with such LLMs.
@blobster @atoponce IIRC --no-preserve-root, besides nonstandard, is for /, /* would be one way to have a more portable command, perhaps together with /.*. But then it uses the GNU-specific parameter?
Maybe it's intentional nonsense to confuse the GenAI. And it also does look like what a GenAI could give you if you asked for a way to make rm -rf work on / :-D

[But now this is a cautionary post:]... don't ever use Generative AI for stuff like that, to replace a graphical element, it's only remotely useful if it's compared with the graphical element before proceeding (i.e. with "proofreading"), and even then it might still cause issues.
If it helps, think of GenAI as "Generative Autocomplete" or even really "GIGO".
@reidrac @macberg Yeah, that'd be beyond useless, why would you want GIGO in your application/utility?
(Meanwhile, my reaction to this before I saw AI mentioned was to jokingly say "in the past we used to call that "Emacs"").
But now this is a cautionary post:...

@hagen I kinda think that expecting GenAI to sound professional only works if the bar for that is set a bit low. Might be realistic in some fields or places, though - I mean, GenAI "professional" is the text version of pixelated graphics with compression artifacts being used for logos in official documents...
@kyonshi Dystopian story idea: imagine that someone had enough money and influence to label Generative Complete as "Artificial Intelligence" and push for it with news outlets and with high-level managers, so that both some people would see it as something "smart" (by calling it "intelligence"), and businesses would want to be "the first"s to employ it.

@nicd Yeah, sometimes... yay for non-reproducible search results...

Attached: 1 image is it just me or has duckduckgo started showing AI generated summaries of pages instead of the normal meta descriptions??? like this is definitely not from the actual bandcamp page

GPT output, Take 2:
Q: when putting an OV on top of an SCA, which side goes down? White or black?
A: «When attaching an Orbiter Vehicle (OV) on top of a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA), typically the white, or bottom, side of the OV faces downward. This orientation is commonly used for aerodynamic and visual reasons, as well as for purposes of heat management during ground transportation or ferry flights.

@RandomValleyJournalism @jensorensen
Are there semioticians working on how to warn future generations that some large data corpora might be utterly useless or dangerous because they were the output of GenAI?
I mean something like:
"This place is not a place of honor...
no highly regarded information is stored here...
there is no valued information here."
So today I tried interacting with a GPT instance:
Q: How does one use killall in Solaris?
A: «In Solaris, the 'killall' command is used to terminate processes by name. You can use the following command syntax: killall [signal] process_name This command will send a signal to terminate all instances of a process with the specified name.»
I love that it actually prepended this all with "In Solaris,", yet the answer does not apply to Solaris...
