incredible stuff here Bing
@jhpot The Expanse is awesome, though!
@SportingChap I will admit I'm a fan, I just don't know if this is the best context to learn about the show

@jhpot @SportingChap Maybe it's an attempt to get you to play Seven Billion Humans which is a pretty awesome little programming puzzle game, but somehow rounding screwed with the branding ;)

@PHolder I think that might not be it...
@jhpot ChatGPT will simply make plausible things up, it guesses, it doesn't do serious research. An idiot should know that this is wrong, however.
@saskboy @jhpot You overestimate the intelligence of the average internet user.
@haljor @saskboy @jhpot
…can’t find the lie there. I mean more than one political campaign has proven that.

As for ChatDJT - I am sure it is programmed with all the dumb stuff Donald ever made up just in case it gets a hard question .... like how many humans live on Mars. Given Bing Ai’s IQ is rated as 31.98 it is a good fit. #ChatDJT

@saskboy @jhpot *It's* not really "making it up".. James Corey & Ty Franck already did that, within their Expanse universe.. *It* doesn't seem to understand fiction vs. reality though and while that's kind of funny here, really needs to get fixed quickly.

@John_Cross_ @saskboy @jhpot
Ackshhually... Ty Franck is 'literally' (very bad pun there) part of James Corey, lol.

I just learned that James (S. A.) Corey is derived from the middle names of Daniel James Abraham & Ty Corey Franck. S. A. comes from Daniel's daughter Scarlet's initials, which means that the credited author's full name could be thought of as:

James Scarlet Abraham Corey

@saskboy @jhpot
More like instead of creating our AI overlords…instead we made late night, parking lot, beer drinking bullshitters.
@saskboy @jhpot yeah, I’m gonna revise this opinion now. I’ve seen more than a few test interactions/reports showing this is some really f’ed up crap going on. And the responses of “Uh, not sure..” aren’t filling me with confidence.
Kind of like the (paraphrased) Oppenheimer comment of “…we’ll have a very large boom. Or if it goes wrong we burn off the earth’s atmosphere. So fingers-crossed!”
@saskboy @jhpot I just asked both ChatGPT and BingChat and they both got the answer correct. The image is not an LLM, but someone making the top search result big and trying to pull out text that matches the query. With 80 replies, I suspect other people have said this as well.
@jhpot It's a brave new world of AI-driven misinformation.
@jhpot @kat_kime at the time that fact becomes true, earth's population is in the 40-50 billion range IIRC
@kboyd @kat_kime and almost all of them on basic

@kboyd @jhpot @kat_kime
Huh. I must have really not been paying attention to the details.

“We have space colonies, but no condoms!”
(Hey, the Federation has FTL travel but no fuses or seatbelts, so, why not?)

@LizardSF @jhpot @kat_kime they have sparkly space fuses that sometimes burn people horribly; I suspect they had to cut back on safety standards as part of some kind of Darwinian sub clause of UFP membership
@jhpot I think bings ai missed the fact that The Expanse is fiction. 🤣🤣🤣 Or maybe it knows something we don't
@jhpot I wonder why we don’t say ‘Just Bing it”…
@jhpot Alex Jones was right!
@MercG brb checking if the frogs are gay
@jhpot
Chat-GPT is going on swimmingly it seems
@jhpot Dang am I behind with my science lessons!
@jhpot still in the waiting list. :(
@jhpot This reminds me of what used to happen when you searched "Who is the king of America" (even after 2016)
@jhpot @QueerMatters It changes for me based on spelling, despite pulling from the same source.
@jhpot Google has it figured out.
@trollball Google cites a crowdsourced answer hosted by amazon answers where the first response just happens to be correct: https://alexaanswers.amazon.com/question/2JzVnd5TduJKI9ns7IaKlI#:~:text=Zero.,yet%20reached%20the%20planet%20Mars.
What is the human population on the planet mars? - Alexa Answers

Jul 23, 2022 – Zero. No humans have yet reached the planet Mars.

@jhpot Still more competent than most humans even if it's the wrong answer... And that's the scary bit.
@jhpot Same question. Different wrong answer. 🤦🏻‍♂️
@jhpot Still better reporting than Fox News.
@jhpot This is obvious disinformation. Here, Bing has given me the correct figure:
@jhpot @Sisteryatima Sadly, it seems 7.5 billion people died on Mars overnight. If I ask Bing that question right now it says there’s only 2.5 billion people left there. Vale intrepid Mars colonists…
@jhpot Context is king 🤣
@jhpot Me computer. Me don't understand context. Me provide inaccurate information in prominent place. Me spread misinformation. Yay. Technology.
@RandomHost @jhpot omg me saw martian people 10 million. me got angry at search engine because i dont have the average human intelligence for telling that this should be wrong. Me saw that its wrong. Now me need to share this.

@corewill @jhpot In this case, it is pretty obvious but I had cases where #Google would do something worse and actually aggregate data which it thought was related but wasn't.

And then Google would present things like "album release dates" and attribute 2000s cover version release dates to the original 80s album.

And Google makes it look like the information is actually accurate.

The only indicator you have that the #misinformation presented prominently by the search engine is merely a wild guess by the algorithm, is a subtle little "give feedback" or "was this helpful" widget.

This is what happens when humans try to "help" other humans by making computers "smart".

This is why I'm also very skeptical about #chatGPT. Tech folks kind of know what it is and what it can and can't do but the less technically inclined may actually confuse the nonsense that it makes up at times for actual facts.

@RandomHost @jhpot then everybody needs to be tech literate before using it or dont ask any questions to it. If you are confusing the nonsense in even such cases you should not use it for that purpose. It is that easy.
@RandomHost @jhpot You cannot accuse the creator, I mean never, really never, because in the end case user do not know how to use it and did not educate yourself about the app. and even better, sources are everywhere and there are literally hundreds of sources.

@corewill @jhpot

I'm not accusing the creators of anything. They created an amazing piece of tech. No doubt.

But being responsible with technology is not how users work.

Users work like "Oh, there is this fun new app which morphes faces and I just have to grant it full access to my phone camera and media folders. Whatever. Install. Yayyyyyy. All my data is going into the cloud. Weeeeeeeeeee."

And this is something that needs to be addressed by every countries more or less broken educational system.

People need to learn about the potential of technology, good and bad.

And people need to be aware that technology advances so fast that the stuff that was considered impossible just a day ago might become a new thing basically over night.

@corewill @jhpot And in case any tesla driver finds this thread:

It's assisted driving. Not auto pilot. Don't listen to the marketing. Listen to the tech folks.

Keep your hands close to the steering wheel and be ready to overrule the stupid AIs decision making.

It was probably trained by random people on the Internet solving Captchas. Are you comfortable trusting these people with your live? Come on.

@jhpot as a verified martian, i can say that this is pretty correct.
@jhpot that doesn't look AI powered tho
@jhpot Do you get the same result while using Private Mode? I get both more sensible and fewer results.
@jhpot saw something similar happening with google but on my side it's okay?
@jhpot T-52 hours before this hits Fox News
@jhpot I don't think there's anything wrong with Bing.It's just that overexposure to the Interwebs has completely annihilated our sense of parody.
@jhpot well... can you prove it's wrong? :⁠-⁠P
