Wait, what?!
@bontchev @GossiTheDog yeah but A is just half and M with a bar. So maybe half right? /s
@bontchev @GossiTheDog asking spelling questions may be the single most reliable way to get an LLM to out itself even if it’s been told to pretend it’s a human, because to them “Aristotle” is a single token that can’t be broken down further
@0xabad1dea @bontchev @GossiTheDog so, we now replace the turing test with the spelling bee?
@bontchev wait, you don't know Maris Totle? Quite famous! 😜
@bontchev Of course you knew the “M” in Aristotle is silent (and invisible)!
@bontchev "performant and applicable to many use cases (but probably not yours)"
@bontchev Obviously in the original Greek, the M is silent
@bontchev Maristotle ftw!

@freequaybuoy I think it has him confused with Metrocles. It's an easy mistake to make!

Metrocles - Wikipedia

@bontchev Bard did OK. It listed 4 greek philosophers, but one of them was Mencius.
@bontchev has someone recently asked what's the best way to secure an airplane door on a Boeing?
@bontchev Well yea, thats Mister Aristotle to those who aren't his friends. :p
@mystixa Or maybe his first name was Michael.
@bontchev Jesus Maria, er, Maristotle ...
@bontchev I guess this is what hallucination looks like?

.@bontchev yeah, because it's just statistics combined with a sprinkle of randomness I've noticed LLM’s perform really badly when asked to do something which has constraints

one of my favourites is when GPT4 was “gaslighting” me when I tried to use it for mnemonics

sometimes it worked which was cool, other times it really did not, and it does not want to acknowledge that it is wrong

@bontchev No serious Skynet shizzle anytime soon. It’s always comforting somehow.

Everybody knows Mary Stotle!
