fantawurstwasserTrains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image
MagicShelA BBC journalist ran the image through an AI chatbot which identified key spots that may have been manipulated.
What the actual fuck? You couldn’t spare someone to just go look at the fucking thing rather than asking ChatGPT to spin you a tale? What are we even doing here, BBC?
A photo taken by a BBC North West Tonight reporter showed the bridge is undamaged
So they did. Why are we talking about ChatGPT then? You could just leave that part out. It’s useless. Obviously a fake photo has been manipulated. Why bother asking?
I tried the image of this real actual road collapse: www.tv2.no/nyheter/innenriks/…/12875776
I told ChatGPT it was fake and asked it to explain why. It assured me I was a special boy asking valid questions and helpfully made up some claims.
Wait, you’re surprised it did what you asked of it?
There’s a massive difference between asking if something is fake and telling it it is, and asking why.
A person would make the same type of guesses and explanations.
All this is showing is, you and ALOT of other people just don’t know enough about AI to be able to have a conversation about it.
Why would it have to? It knows to do any task put in front of it.
A human would to.
When people use a conversational tool, they expect it to act human, which it INTENTIONALLY DOES but without the sanity of a real human.
It’s not a conversation tool when you present it with a specific task….
When we are talking about LLM chat bots, they have a conversational interface. I am not talking about other types of machine learning. I don’t have time to keep responding.
. I am not talking about other types of machine learning.
Then you are making up you own conversation instead of following the thread?
The person presented a specific task to an AI, where does a chatbot come in?
Seriously? A chatbot is one function of an ai, not the other way around. So when you give the ai a different ask or set of instructions, it’s no longer the chatbot anymore, it’s whatever function that’s needed for that task.
I weep for humanity if you’re any indication of the general education on ai….
I don’t know what AI is, but I’m going to talk like I’m an expert.
Yes I’ve already addressed your asinine view.
Wait, you’re surprised it did what you asked of it?
No. Stop making things up to complain about. Or at least leave me out of it.
Then what are doing? Complaining it did exactly what you instructed it to do?
What else did you expect?
clearly, they asked it a question that average joe would do, and has shown that again its full of overly confident lies. it did not just reinforce the original belief of the user that it is fake, but it also hallucinated there a bunch of professional-like statements that are false if you take the time to check them. most people won’t check them though, and straight up believe what it just spit out and think “oh this is do smart! outrageous that people call me dumb for asking it life advice!”
But they didn’t ask it a question… They specifically told it the image was fake and explain why. That’s not a question, that’s a task.
The lack of basic reading comprehension being shown here excerpt explains the issue perfectly.
It’s not people relying on it, it’s people using it for stuff it’s not meant for!
I think if a person were asked to do the same they would actually look at the image and make genuine remarks, look at the points it has highlighted, the boxes are placed around random points and the references to those boxes are unrelated (ie. yellow talks about branches when there are no branches near the yellow box, red talks about bent guardrail when the red box on the guardrail is of an undamaged section)
It has just made up points that “sound correct”, anyone actually looking at this can tell there is no intelligence behind this
Yet that wasn’t the point they even made! Lmfao nice reaching there.
