The bullshit generators we call 'AI' don't assume, and aren't frantic: they just regurgitate an output based on as much bullshit input as we can stuff into them.

The output can be more or less recognizable as bullshit, but the computer doesn't distinguish between the two.

Yup, pretty much. And the field is full of red herring terms, so they can mislead you into believing otherwise: "hallucination", "semantic" supplementation, "reasoning" models, large "language" model...

LLM creators: *feeds an algorithm millions of lines of text

Some dude on the internet: "language"

Those "reasoning models" are my favorite. It's basically the equivalent of adding another pass through the generator with the additional prompt "now sprinkle in some text that makes it look like you are thinking about each part of your answer".

I'm going to be very disappointed if Elon's AI wins.

Do you want my guess? The current "fight" will go on, until the AI bubble bursts. None of the current large token models will survive; they'll be simply ditched as "unprofitable". Instead you'll see a bunch of smaller models popping up, for more focused tasks, being advertised as something else than AI (perhaps as a "neural network solution" or similar).

So Grok, Gemini, GPT, they're all going the way of the dodo.

That's just my guess though. It could be wrong.

You guys sound like Doctor Phil.

One thing that pisses me off is the websites which claim to have the meaning behind a song and it’s just several paragraphs of AI slop that parse the lyrics at a surface level and don’t examine any external context, such as the artist or their life at the time of writing.

Nice we can still sometimes tell when an explanation page is AISEOGARBAGE

Few years down the road truth-seekin gonna be real tough, I worry: facts and news, images and videos, social connections/commenters… :(

Does not work for ANY phrase. It seems to be presuming that the person asking is referencing something. Sample results copied here in order of AI's least theorizing to its most.

  • horses before giraffes meaning

"Horses before giraffes" has no scientific meaning because giraffes are not ancestors of horses....

  • put your horses before giraffes meaning

"Put your horses before giraffes" is not a recognized English idiom. The similar and well-known idiom is "put the cart before the horse," ....

  • always put horses before giraffes meaning

The phrase "always put horses before giraffes" is a variation of the well-known medical aphorism: "When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras"....

  • titrated solutions beget relief meaning

The phrase "titrated solutions beget relief" means that carefully adjusted or fine-tuned treatments can bring about an end to a problem....

I wouldn't have noticed since I just ignore the AI bullshit or throw in "fuck" to my search so it doesn't even bother showing it in the first place.

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've tried a few things. It gives back things like "this is a gambled version of this other common saying" or "that statement is nonsensical and is not in common use".

It did used to work, though. I tried it a while back and it worked. I think it learned or was manually fixed.

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 1 points 21 hours ago

Same!

The phrase "seven monkeys with switchblades playing piano" does not have a single, established meaning. It is likely a surreal, intentionally nonsensical image, and its interpretation would depend entirely on the context in which it was used.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Didn't work for me, I guess my nonsense game is too strong
