I just googled something and Google put its AI summary top, which incorrectly used a Facebook post - misinterpreting it.

@GossiTheDog I am literally scoring a RAG right now and the dataset returned has the *exact* correct command...

given that command, the llm still returned totally fabricated nonsense.

It's nuts all the way down

[flipper@mastodonapp.uk]

@GossiTheDog As nature intended.

@GossiTheDog I mean, nobody's perfect bro. It gets it right most of the time bro. If we could just put it everywhere, into everything, then it would certainly get better bro. /s

@GossiTheDog I would have loved to see that example, or an example...

We call that "auto-coprophagia"

True, Plaid, except Ai does not have any understanding.

@GossiTheDog It didn't take long for the well to be poisoned.

I identified your mistake in the first four words.

@GossiTheDog i still think all of this is an intentional war on information
spread disorganization, misinformation and make truth harder to pinpoint
this aides some of the more powerful people in the world

@GossiTheDog this is how the bubble pops

@bradbury @GossiTheDog
Please avoid sarcasm. The AI doesn't understand it.

[fedihacker@masto.es]

@GossiTheDog They don't interpret, they don't understand. They just put tokens together in the order of the most probable sequence maximizing the relevance score to the query.

@GossiTheDog everyone still uses google search, regardless what platform they use, along with Chrome browser even on windows & mac, or already are on Google's own soon to be locked down Android or ChomeOS. Vast majority of these don't subscribe to office or pay for other Gen BS crap. However they by default are funneled uses Gemini directly or indirectly. Hence why google will win the Gen BS race and should be focused same if not more than the others, which doesn't happen at least around here.

To do internet searches without getting that annoying #AIsummary (which usually makes for one more useless thing to scroll through to get to the links you want to see, and which wastes a large amount of electricity every time), you can add a simple bit of text at the beginning or end of your search query.

Type “hyphen AI” at the start or end of any search query to not get that annoying AI summary at the top of your search results (which usually makes for one more useless thing to scroll through to get to the links you want to see, and which wastes data center electricity every time).

For example:
-ai Names of all four Beatles
**OR**
Names of all four Beatles -ai

@GossiTheDog I hope you gave it feedback that this was great and a correct answer?

[nzlemming@mastodon.nz]

@Longplay_Games @GossiTheDog For feeding the turtles?

@GossiTheDog
Searching for anything on the web at this point is like playing a game of telephone...

[thomkennon@mastodon.social]

@AnneTheWriter1 @GossiTheDog
This is super cool, thanks from us all.

[plaidtron3000@jorts.horse]

@Guillotine_Jones @GossiTheDog You could read "misunderstands" as "fails to understand", if that helps.

But it's a distinction without a difference in the outcome.
