You're saying you've never heard the phrase "two dry frogs is a situation"? That's just a horse cutting it short at the barber!

Post memes here.
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.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Lmfao holy shit
dam google is really expanding the width of the snake right now
There was a paper about this not long ago. The problem is, how LLMs get trained: a right answer gets a point, everything else gets no points. This rewards guessing (produces a point sometimes) over answering "I don't know/I can't do this" (produces never a point)
It's like when developers give a wrong answer during technical interviews, rather than say "I'd have to look it up" or "I'd have to check the documentation" etc.
I would code a GUI in visual basic
This is actually a pretty great way to illustrate what LLMs do. It gives you an answer regardless of whether it makes sense to do so.
It's so fun to waste energy!
AI drives 48% increase in Google emissions
I love those energy hungry assistants! It's wasting resources even faster than everything before but it's so fun and useful!
I think you should be more concerned about the automatic ai responses on every other search, instead of people having a bit of fun with these
This is my problem with it as well. I wish it was a tolerable option that I could click when I wanted an AI summary, which would be basically never.
At one point I was looking for a pinout diagram for a chip, and the first result I got was the AI summary, I wanted a picture not text, how's text helpful? All it did is give me a list of the pins, I know what pins it has, but I want to know where they are.
I am. That's why I switched to DDG and deactivated it.
This is a dumb misconception. High emissions and energy consumption is when training models, not during prompts
and models are being trained all the time. It's the only way to assimilate new data. So your point is moot.
False. It's been shown that resolving prompts also drives a major energy consumption, albeit maybe not so higher than regular search queries.
AI drives 48% increase in Google emissions
That's not even supported by the underlying study.
Google's emissions went up 48% between 2019 and 2023, but a lot of things changed in 2020 generally, especially in video chat and cloud collaboration, dramatically expanding demand for data centers for storage and processing. Even without AI, we could have expected data center electricity use to go up dramatically between 2019 and 2023.
"Frantically". Guys, stop adscribing human features to LLMs.
You sound like the people in my chemistry class who say things like "don't describe subatomic particles as happy when they're in low-energy states."
Well given the names of quarks I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that a particle could be happy. After all apparently a particle can be strange, so why not happy.
There's no financial incentive big subatomic has for pretending its particles are happy, though.
I'm sure OOP works for big AI. /s
big if true

Claude does better with it
ducks don't belong in weedwhackers, burlap isn't a typical material for power tools
almost made me laugh loud enough to wake the baby!
That's a pretty decent response. The Google responses other people are posting are Cuil-tier.
Now there's a meme i haven't heard in a long time, a long time.

My boss just told me I should be using AI every day and now I know what to use it for.
Honestly, this is great for a little spontaneous chuckle
matt rose!!!
Hang on, since this is definitely going to be in a video I'll do the honours; 💀
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."

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 :)
The thing is, that probably is an Australian expression. There is no expression stupid enough that the Australians won't use it.
This actually makes sense though
Yeah I can see a dad making that exact joke if he asked his kid to play the didgeridoo and they refused because they were shy or something.
A good test has to exclude all possible dad jokes as well as changes in single words/ fragments of otherwise common expressions.
Literally heard my dad make this same joke like 30 years ago so it's actually a thing, I guess
