GenAI is going great (this is real)

@GossiTheDog I tried and got two days. But I said "a fish in them".

@GossiTheDog

They fixed that one in a hurry! Either that or it's one of several answers that come up. I keep trying it and get different results each time.

Edit: Whoops, no! There it is, exactly as you posted it. Amazing, I've gotten at least 4 different answers so far.

@GossiTheDog I should be laughing, but we are doomed aren’t we?

@GossiTheDog It's amazing how many different ways it gets this (and similar questions) wrong. Also the top hits are now from discussion of this exact search, but that doesn't seem to have helped much.

Of course the link added as a "citation" on that paragraph says nothing about any day other than Friday.

You can do a similar search for various other things, and it seems like it really wants to make it work. Sometimes it will give vaguely correct answers, sometimes it will just make stuff up.

I don't think there are Reddit posts for all of these; these are just the model hallucinating.

I wonder if they switched to a really aggressive quant recently, or a tiny model, to save costs. I am noticing that they aren't caching answers any more, I get a different answer each time I reload.

@GossiTheDog Thankfully, there’s only two days of the week for AI:

@GossiTheDog My Chinese LLM is smarter, obviously…

@GossiTheDog Since I have the emotional maturity of a 5-year-old I just _had_ to try this one, and the result is well worth it:

@CliftonR @GossiTheDog Lesson learned. If I don't like an Ai answer, just keep asking until I get the answer I want. Very intelligent.

@GossiTheDog Slander As A Service is where the margins are, right? Nobody wants to hire admins to deal with slander on prem these days.

People who are capable of deep shame don't become billionaires.

@GossiTheDog Showed this to a friend. He asked it the same question and got 6!

Nice job completely destroying yourself, Google! Slopple?

[alienghic@timeloop.cafe]

@GossiTheDog

Doesn't all that activity seeing how the AI is wrong, get counted by google as people engaging with the product?

And they optimize to increase engagement, so as far as they're concerned stupid answers are successful!

Pretty sure if we want google to be useful again, enough of us need to stop using it that it hurts their market share.

@GossiTheDog lololol wednespizza

@GossiTheDog This is just the Google search model which is lesser.

BUT I saw that the latest high end model that costs good amounts to run, Opus-4.8, can't tell how many days of the week have a 'd' in the name...

@GossiTheDog This is not a Reddit / bad info source but rather a core functionality limitation (DESPITE that, since it's such a trivial question, IT SHOULD KNOW)

DeepShame is a good name for IBM's next model.

@GossiTheDog

Here's a case one of my coworkers ran into yesterday for a normal real-life query , trying to double-check the time on the US East Coast before he called someone.
It was actually 10:18 pm EDT at the time.
Asking again, differently, got a different insane answer.
