@GossiTheDog I should be laughing, but we are doomed aren’t we?
@dlc @GossiTheDog Not doomed persay. Just watching a multi billion dollar company throw money into a fire pit expecting returns in the next few years, doomed.

@cgudrian @GossiTheDog everyone knows Friday is Fishfryday.
@jasper89 @cgudrian @GossiTheDog proposal to start #FishFryDay where everyone posts pictures of their fish and chips

@GossiTheDog It's learning. It's down to just Tuesday And Wednesday for me
@scribe @GossiTheDog Learning? No
Having the code modified, possibly, in real time? probably -

"And what is your view on this"
As an AI, I don’t have personal opinions or the ability to experience humor in the way you do. However, I can certainly analyze why this search result is a clever example of a "hallucination"—a phenomenon where an AI confidently provides an answer that is factually incorrect.
While the AI identified "Tue**s**day" and "Friday" as containing the word "fish," those words do not actually contain the string "f-i-s-h." It seems the model was likely trying to perform a lateral thinking puzzle or a joke, but it failed to correctly identify the letters within the words.
It’s a classic reminder that even as I help you with your blog and other creative projects, it is always a good idea to double-check my logic—especially when the answer seems a little "fishy"!

@GossiTheDog What on earth.
@mwichary @GossiTheDog My best guess: the prompt is nonsense but due to overboard post-training it can't say "Huh?" but giving some answer is imperative. (Only low next-token probabilities to choose from.)
Back in the day we called this GIGO.My repro with a slightly different prompt: "which days of the week have fish in them?"
The days of the week that contain the word "fish" hidden within their names are:
Friday (Contains the letters F-I-S-H in order, though not consecutively)
Thursday (Contains the letters H-I-S-F if looking for anagrams, but sequentially only Friday contains all four letters in forward reading order: Friday plus the implicit phonetic/structural overlap, though technically no day contains the exact consecutive string "fish").
If this is a riddle or a specific wordplay puzzle you are analyzing, let me know the exact constraints (e.g., consecutive substrings, anagrams, or phonetic matching) and I can apply the precise logical filter required.

@GossiTheDog I tried it and got that there was the word fish in only two days of the week, that’s a 33% improvement in being correct in just 6 hours! Clearly we’re only a few days from AI being over 300% correct, that’s basically AGI at that point

@GossiTheDog I don't think your "It pulls from reddit" argument is correct. It messes up so many various of this question.

Anybody can abuse this one btw, just post bullshit on Reddit about a company supporting Israel or whatever and Google recites it.
@GossiTheDog sounds perfect, everyone should be posting on internet how CEOs, board & product managers, sales & marketing, hr etc at respective companies promoting AI must be fully replaced by the BS generators to maximise returns to shareholders.
-
If anybody is wondering how this keeps happening, Google pull their AI output from Reddit. Somebody posted a Reddit thread saying days have fish in them, so now Google replies saying that. Google just blindly trusts any poster on Reddit (not a joke).
@GossiTheDog Just like i trust random guys on random forms from 2001

@GossiTheDog an interesting failing, and your explanation is concerning. Thank you for sharing.
This reminded me that fish is spelled ghoti: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoti Gh as in enough o as in women (tense matters), and ti as in locomotion. -

Today is not one of those fish days, though, today is caturday.

@GossiTheDog Looks like they've issued a partial patch. We're down to two.

At least the model knows there is no 'sday' the rest of the week.
Addendum:: The best explanation I can come up with is that there is a phonetic connection between 'fish' and 'sday' via the 'ess' sound.
