I can kinda see how this might happen, I bet statements affirming "Australia doesn't exist" are more common on the internet than ones stating "Australia exists".

Frightening to think of the all the data fed to these LLMs, a lot of it has to be incoherent ramblings or straight-up trolling.

One of the many reason I don't buy too much into the hype. The internet is generally a bad data source because of how much nonsense there is. And those "AIs" are still nothing but glorified chatbots like Cleverbot, just with a better data set to pull from. In the end they still very quickly fail and talk complete bs. Not to say they cannot be helpful or fun but people really need to be mindful about it. As always, don't trust every little shit that's on the internet, and that includes chatbot outputs too.

This has been my weekly reminder that there are people who use Bing. Harrowing.

It’s DDGs primary search engine

DDG doesn't use its chatbot though, which also still is blocking all VPN traffic.

Modern Bing is a lot more useful for me than modern Google.

I'll actually use Bing's AI/LLM on occasion. I get frustrated in some of the conversations that come talk about the limitations of AI in generating false information that can be tracked when Bing's does cite it's sources if you want to fact check.

I mean, how could they?

If they’re on the bottom side of the disk, how do they not fall off?

They're wedged against the turtle shell.

I think they’re confusing it with Fourecks.

But... Does it really exist?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

No. We don't. Move along.

Somewhat ironically, this article reads a lot like it was written by a generative AI.

Plot twist, it's foreshadowing

Oh so when I went there recently it was all… soundstages and VR? Spooky 👻

Who is paying you to say that you "went" to Australia?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Next you'll tell us you've been to the moon. Get out of here John Glenn.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nice try, AI, but just like birds Australia doesn't exist. It's probably from the same kookie shadow department responsible for it too. Oh that dog of mine.

The funny thing is, there was this guy on YouTube who did the exact same thing, before Bing AI did. SunnyV2 made a video about it.
