In this community we share the best (worst?) examples of Artificial "Intelligence" being completely moronic. Did an AI give you the totally wrong answer and then in the same sentence contradict itself? Did it misquote a Wikipedia article with the exact wrong answer? Maybe it completely misinterpreted your image prompt and "created" something ridiculous.
Post your screenshots here, ideally showing the prompt and the epic stupidity.
Let's keep it light and fun, and embarrass the hell out of these Artificial Ignoramuses.
All languages welcome, but an English explanation would be appreciated to keep a common method of communication. Maybe use AI to do the translation for you...
I was watching a video on orangutans and it made me wonder how well google would handle this question.
Didn't get it quite right... But maybe it's a subtle dig?
Note: I accidentally scrolled the "AI Overview" notation off before taking the first screenshot, but it is there:
this is a nothing. the list it produces first is not exhaustive. there are no contradictions or falsehoods here, and what you observed in this post is barely ambiguous. humans may be categorized among the great apes, but are rarely referred to as such except in relation to the other great apes. Otherwise we tend to be extremely chauvanist and just call ourselves humans.
this is like "what are animals"
and it produces a list of birds and reptiles and fish and mammals but doesnt include humans. and then you ask "are humans always considered animals" and post a gottem.
It specifically says "great apes are closely related to humans".
Great apes are closely related to humans BECAUSE humans are great apes. That idea is offensive to many religious zealots, so it's not a fact often brought up in any conversation unless specifically prompted. This isn't a logical fallacy you've uncovered, just a cultural bias and stigma. Of course a language model will also avoid the topic unless specifically prompted because it's trained on people and articles that ALL do the very same philosophical dance and mental gymnastics to avoid inciting the ignorant zealots.
I tend to think of "inculsion in the same taxonomical category" as a fairly close relationship. this is ambiguous wording, nothing more.
I disagree. If you say "oranges are closely related to citrus fruit" you're implying they're not citrus fruit. It's not ambiguous.
But.... I can see the difference with "great apes" in the colloquial sense.
However, I changed the question to "What are the great apes scientifically" and it still left humans off, and this time didn't even mention humans.
I think that is outright, unambiguously, incorrect. (And ChatGPT agrees fwiw, though it left bonobos off the list, so... )
Uh. It's subtle but idk i think you might be more right than I gave you credit for at first. I still don't think it's a good example of what you're shooting for in this c/ but I see your pov.
Humans are considered to be part of the great apes. I don't see how it would be a dig.
AI is correct here.
AI is correct in the second part but forgot humans in the first part.
Its not an exhaustive list
Ok but the first party does not have the dandy new AI branding
My bad, I scrolled it out of view when I took the screenshot.
It was definitely the AI, here's the unscrolled view:
