David Nash@secretgeek Feedback: "This result is wrong. The letter "i" actually appears *three times* in the word 'teamwork'."
Julien Colomb@secretgeek it should read "AI response may by accident contains accurate information."
Jeff Atwood@secretgeek we have finally invented real intelligence
Boyd Stephen Smith Jr.@secretgeek Depending on the font, there *is* an I in TEAM. You just have to look at the negative space created by the third letter: the A-hole if you will.

in german, when you see TEAM as an acronym it stands for: Toll Ein Anderer Machts which roughly translates to: great, someone else is doing it

Romek(Wow! I thought "everyone knew" about the "i" in (the word) "TEAM". Like it's an old and widely circulated joke. But I'm getting more "traction' out of this than anything else I've ever said, ever! 😱 Heck; I might even hit 10,000! https://m.xkcd.com/1053/ 😉 )
@JeffGrigg @glutto Love that xkcd.
As a connoisseur of good internet things which age well, I pair it with this essay from 2010, "Obvious to you. Amazing to others" https://sive.rs/obvious
For many years I have said
"I'm not creative.
I just take some existing things and put them together in a new way, to solve whatever problem we're facing."
…
Later, I realized that …
That's called "being creative." 🤍

> There is one "I" in the word "teamwork." However, the concept emphasizes that each individual ("I") in a team plays a crucial role in achieving collective success.

⁂ Fish Id Wardrobe@vwbusguy @secretgeek what I like best about this is, there are three i's in "there is no I in team"
@fishidwardrobe @secretgeek Yup, that was my first reaction as well. Either way, the first "sentence" it produced makes no sense.
@vwbusguy @fishidwardrobe @secretgeek actually this does make sense and is correct. It could be WRITTEN more clearly (it's confusingly stated), but it is correct in my reading.
@codinghorror @vwbusguy @secretgeek there is not "one I in team when considering the phrase…" -- none in team, three in the phrase. so no, it doesn't make sense. it's just gramatically correct, which is not the same thing.
A Tattered Scrapbook@secretgeek Today, I read an opinion that AI would be for iNaturalist because the “hallucinations” are getting rarer…
And recently a post proposing the use of AI in philosophy…
It reminds me of radioactive pills for health.
@Tattered lol, true.
Brawndo, it has what plans crave
CodeByJeff@codebyjeff @secretgeek I just scroll past the AI nonsense to the real content, but it depends. Sometimes the summary is good/correct. This one is complex because of all the jokes it can't understand. You know that, right?
@codinghorror @secretgeek I understand that
Whether or not you scroll past the summary, the summary is still being generated... wasting resources, scraping your personal data, etc, etc
It's like a home system that turns on every light in your house when you enter, in case you might want to go into that room at some point
Whether or not AI gets the joke or not isn't really that interesting to me
Donald HobernThere ARE two "i"s in "how many i's in teamwork".
Ralph Angenendt@secretgeek In German „teamwork“ contains one more „i“ than in English, I learned.
Ekynos@secretgeek Which proves there's no I in AI.
levzzz 
@secretgeek but there's "con" in economy
François @JuraThe letters AI do not appear in the word Google.
SarcastiCanadian@secretgeek There is no "I" in "teamwork", but there are three "I"s in "idiotic".
Just Another Amy@secretgeek
There are plenty of primers on how token systems work — foundational LLM user literacy — on this topic that use the number of Rs in strawberry as the example.
LLMs find and replicate complex language patterns, and are for managing language use.
They’re not for information management or retrieval.
They’re a fine tool for the appropriate purpose — don’t use hammers to open glass jars 🤷🏽♀️
@justanotheramy uh. You might wanna tell Google please

User education is also necessary.

@justanotheramy @secretgeek good luck educating the salespeople and companies whose money depends on selling this, um.. shall we say.. exaggeration?
@codinghorror @secretgeek
Are you struggling with what the word “user” means?
Or do you just have complete contempt for them?

@justanotheramy @secretgeek I fight for the users. Every single day I wake up and think, "what can I do for someone else today" because that's so much more meaningful to me than anything I can do for myself. https://blog.codinghorror.com/i-fight-for-the-users/
@codinghorror @secretgeek
That’s adorable.
So why are you leaping at the chance to be snippy at a random woman on the internet who’s advocating for user education?
Deeds not words.

@justanotheramy @codinghorror personally I think I oughta back up and add that your initial point about the strawberry *is* a good example, that I/you/we *do* want to help educate people about, and you *were* right to bring that up.
I *was* defensive because inside my head, the whole thing was "obviously" a riff on the strawberry example, which I took as required reading for my audience. Like I wanted to say a snarky reply like "that's the joke".
But I hate being a jerk like that. Thank you!
This is philosophical. Is there any "I" left, when you join a team? And how many "I"s do form a team? Two "I"s were a pair, with one "i". So maybe three "I" is correct. Guessing is the only answer.
And before you ask: of course there is an a-hole in "I, Me, Myself".
V Carnage, 六七@secretgeek "teamwork makes the dream work" – I guess the AI misunderstood that as freedom to make shit up

mage_of_dragons@secretgeek it even quotes a source
@secretgeek you will see some salespeople will succeed in convincing stupid CEO people they should abandon efforts to facilitate teamwork and get to start implementing Ti-imwork ASAP, before the concurrent industry does.

I tried to figure out what sort of logic might lead to this conclusion, and believe I’ve found it:
1 - a team by definition requires more than one person.
2 - for argument sake, lets say the team has two people
3 - each person when describing their role refers to themselves as “I”
4 - ergo, there are at minimum two “i’s” in teamwork.
Thank you very much.
