@CactuarJoe Fun, but it would be lovely to know the source for this. I love to laugh at AI hallucinations as much as any other AI sceptic; still, I fear that it is too easy to just come up with something outrageous and create a meme that makes it seem that an AI claimed it, for kicks or for clicks.

You do realise that people who are just trying to be fun, or eager to get clicks, easily can create a fake screenshot like that, don't you?

@petealexharris @tml @MxVerda @CactuarJoe Yes, it doesn't matter.

It is wrong to call this stuff "artificial intelligence", as well, because the people working on it obviously are under the grip of fallacies. Human intelligence must resemble chimpanzee intelligence, and so cannot possibly resemble anything based on language!

These jokers have confused their internal conscious dialog with their intelligence. And they think they can upload their "selves" into a computer, but it is impossible.

@petealexharris @tml @MxVerda @CactuarJoe So it really doesn't matter how we make fun of them.

They aren't hallucinations, because these are not intelligences. They are random pattern generators. They are useful if you know what they actually are.

ChatGPT once quoted my answer to a puzzle but gave my opponents' argument as the defense of it! It was mere random output from its databases.

Show threadTor LillqvistJul 8

@skry @CactuarJoe Yes, I know how to google myself, too. But didn't find any actual information about the things I wanted to know (what plagiarism machine created this, as a response to what prompt, and when).

In fact, in the discussion you link to, people wrote:

"It's hard to know if this one is real or satirical but Google corrects viral AI misinfo pretty quickly.

But only after it's gone viral of course."

And:

"99% of these google ai responses are fake".

Verification is impossible because the Google model has changed.

@tml @skry @CactuarJoe Despite your assertion I don’t see any boast. Which is strange because you seem so certain that you are right…
Show threadTor LillqvistJul 9

@davidbcohen @skry @CactuarJoe Certain? No, I am not certain at all. I can very well believe that the AI in question indeed wore that. AIs certainly are known to come up with wildly idiotic hallucinations.

But I can also imagine that some person came up with that as a wannable viral joke.

Which is why I just would want to see a deeper investigation into this. Like the original source, and whether the person who got it posted any notes about what they actually asked etc.

@davidbcohen @skry @CactuarJoe Ah OK, I did not realise that, thanks for clarifying.

So yeah "boast" was the wrong word to use. I should just have said that skry was the the first one to mention googling. In a sarcastic way, "I googled that for you", which can be seen as implying that the other person would not know how to google.
