moondog548Indeed. We all need to resist calling the current gen of chatbots "AI". Cuz they ain't!

Jeremy in the blue house.@quadrivial @schmutzie as of now, emergent mind is about five links down the page for me. The four above it are correct
@Jeremyinthebluehouse @schmutzie Yeah, they seem to have fixed it π
@quadrivial @schmutzie for now. They're at the mercy of rapid-fire bullshit artists.
It's almost like the Techbros have finally gotten techbro'd

Bennet@Jeremyinthebluehouse @quadrivial @schmutzie I'm still getting the emergent mind bullshit at the top, so apparently their fix isn't consistent
@DrMcStrange @quadrivial @schmutzie I'm on an android device, not a PC, so I bet we're following different paths...
@Jeremyinthebluehouse @quadrivial @schmutzie Just checked on my android phone and it's still top - I guess it's google personalising our results
@DrMcStrange @quadrivial @schmutzie interesting. I tried it with Firefox focus, so I wouldn't be logged in. Still got legit results (Kenya). Maybe Google is basing on my IP or other metadata.

Blake C. Stacey@nev @schmutzie I tried opening that page and got stuck in an endless GOTO 10 of captchas.
@bstacey @schmutzie whoops, will edit
@nev @schmutzie Thanks! :-)

Ben from CDS@schmutzie I'm just not certain that tying a machine for making up lies into our search engines that we use to search for facts is a good idea.
Brian Grinter
Steffen Christensen@schmutzie Absolutely true, although it's not Google's doing. The source is wrong, because generative AIs are intoxicating the Internet's source material with its daydreaming.
Orc@schmutzie I got one that's almost as good. So glad to see Google has rolled spicy autocomplete into their search engine to deal with those last few non-SEO queries.
Ants Are Everywhere@schmutzie Google search is summarizing the emergent mind link. Emergent mind is just a transcript of ChatGPT messing this up. As far as I can tell there are two errors:
1) ChatGPT is deeply confused about the letter k and Africa, and
2) Google search is using extremely low quality pages as search results.
Most of emergent mind seems to be serious articles about AI. So perhaps search believes it's an authoritative site.

@schmutzie the slope downward from "peak AI" appears to be steep
Marie Greene@schmutzie What the what. This is what we've come to. Thanks, AI.
RanaldClouston@schmutzie I get the same response. Amazing how Google has degraded.

ChookMother π¦πΊπ¦@schmutzie Wish I'd taken a screenshot of the answer to the question "How long should an EV battery last". The answer given by Google was "3 years".
EVs generally have a Lithium-ion traction battery that lasts about 10 years and a 12 volt battery. AI had decided the question was about the 12v battery. π No human familiar with EVs would have assumed that.

WrenGood grief.
Andie Freaker@schmutzie this is one sad and beautiful thing is people don't realize AI is taught. It's not exactly all knowing. It's why twitters AI had to be taken down cause people taught it to curse. You have the AI chat bots that learn to be horny.
Humans are teaching it and yet the sad part is, some are learning to depend on it.
One way to combat AI tho is to teach it to be dumb π
William Gunn@schmutzie Bing apparently thinks Kiribati is in Africa. The two references it cites are an Encyclopedia Brittanica entry on countries of the world (not broken down by continent) and a user-created quiz.
