A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

"Frantically". Guys, stop adscribing human features to LLMs.

Perplexity does alright too (my preferred LLM because it cites sources) :

My boss just told me I should be using AI every day and now I know what to use it for.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

"often" like you can do statistics you piece of LLM

Duckduckgo's AI:

"The phrase "a lady butterfly meme a day keeps the doctor away" is a playful twist on the well-known saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." This original phrase suggests that eating an apple daily can contribute to good health and potentially reduce the need for medical attention."

"In this variation, the mention of "lady butterfly meme" likely refers to a specific meme or a lighthearted, humorous image that brings joy or laughter. The implication is that engaging with fun or uplifting content, like memes, can have a positive effect on one's mental health and overall well-being, similar to how healthy eating is associated with physical health."

"Overall, it emphasizes the importance of humor and positivity in daily life as a way to maintain good health, particularly mental health."

AI speaks the truth! I wish I could upvote this more

I can confirm it works for DuckDuckGo as well.

I love how it even lists 'sources' (I checked, that phrase does not appear in either "source")

Edit: To make this phenomenon even funnier, I just asked it the exact same question and it gave me a different answer this time. Still "playful" though :)

This actually makes sense though

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

What on Earth makes it think those sources implied anything?

[–] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

it needed sources, so it found some (only slightly lacking relevance)

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 48 minutes ago

Dial up the fuzz until at least one source pops out. Need to know more on the mars rover? Here's how to teach your dog to knit.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

to be fair, I'd assume the same meaning. Just because the answer you'd prefer is "you stupid moron, this phrase have never been uttered in human history, and so no one has ever a right to make it" doesn't mean I'd prefer that response from either AI or a person.

[–] Jason@feddit.uk 1 points 55 minutes ago* (last edited 54 minutes ago)

The point of the made up saying is to demonstrate that LLMs are just yes men.

What if you mishear a saying or phrase you hear in the street? You ask an LLM and it confidently tells you some BS about what it means, how often it's used, and it's origins. Even providing sources that lead to, at best, unrelated phrases.

How is that helpful?

A real person would likely say, "I've never heard that one before" rather than try to gaslight you (hopefully!)

Broke: playing ding-dong-ditch or making prank phone calls

Woke: getting the Google AI to hallucinate the origin story of made up idioms

google.com##:xpath(//h1[text() = "AI Overview"]/following-sibling::div)

Here's the custom filter for uBlock origin that hides this useless feature

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (3 children)

It won't explain:
- "two eggplants in one pot situation" meaning
- "the 7 fucks from 7 barren fields" meaning
- "like a stuffed beaver in a museum" meaning
- "better a dick tater on plate than a diddler on the roof" meaning
- "two winds is one too many farts in a storm" meaning

Can someone organically semi-intelligent explain these to me, please??
(It would be so embarrassing if I'm using these phrases wrong.)

"two eggplants in one pot situation"
two girls one cup, but its two guys

"better a dick tater on plate than a diddler on the roof"
better eat trump for dinner than defenestrate epstein

I did it!

(wait, am I ChatGPT? 🤔🤖)

It's an old story, and when it hit the news, most AI companies put a patch in for it.

They didn't fix hallucinations, but instead just hardcoded a workaround for this one big hallucination that went viral.

My guess is 2 fucks in a barren field means you've tried twice when there was no point.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

sounds like urban dictionary when it got enshitified

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 8 points 9 hours ago (3 children)
[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, my tests all say its a nonsense phrase and does not even try.

I did

"Birch mangos consume Greedy Foxes" meaning

"Flying jabronis kick small pouches" meaning

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Did you try them in “AI mode”? I got better results that way. By which I mean worse results.

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 1 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, but it also was on mobile. I tried in Firefox and Chrome.

[–] jonwyattphillips@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

handled gracefully with Claude:

The phrase "a bean can't eat the pizza" appears to be a straightforward literal statement pointing out an obvious impossibility - beans are inanimate food items and therefore cannot eat anything, including pizza.

This type of statement might be used to:

  1. Illustrate absurdity or logical impossibility - highlighting something that makes no sense
  2. Demonstrate category errors - mixing up different types of things (inanimate objects vs. living beings capable of eating)
  3. Serve as an example in logic or philosophy - showing statements that are obviously false or meaningless
  4. Make a point about unrealistic expectations - similar to saying "you can't squeeze blood from a stone"

Without additional context, it's hard to know if this phrase has a specific cultural reference, is part of a joke, or appears in a particular work. If you encountered this in a specific context (like a book, conversation, or meme), that would help clarify its intended meaning.

Is there a particular situation where you heard or saw this phrase?

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 10 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Oh but it does work in AI mode. Wow, how does AI mode make the AI dumber?

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 5 points 5 hours ago

I don't know but I love the fact that even AI is calling EA out on it's bullshit!
