Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

The Google AI isn’t hallucinating about glue in pizza, it’s just over indexing an 11 year old Reddit post by a dude named fucksmith. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have 3 equal theories on how this happened.

Shitpost
OP wrote that to fuck with AI knowing it would be added to 'directions'. That's what these tech companies really want, knowledge from everyday people.
AI wrote that post.

and yet if you actually read the very visible timestamp on the shared image, you'd see "11y ago", which would tell you fairly clearly what is what

pretty equal hypotheses indeed! you're a master cognician!

Bots have been around for a long time. I started Reddit in 2014 and bots were prolific.

Sure, but they were also much more primitive, mostly simple replies or copying other comments.

mostly simple replies

There were some really good ones. Most of us didn't realize what they were at first, myself included. They're a lot like what's here on Lemmy, we don't qualify for the live propaganda people and the good ones. NOT that I want them to show up, they are very, very good.

Sure very good ones, and not a 'use simple botting commands for simple answers, and as soon as you encounter something weird get a real human to react'

Ah, how thoughtful and concise an attempt at backtracking from how thoroughly you put your foot in it

Doesn’t seem to have been successful though

Lmao, k.

this is what it looks like when you say stupid inaccurate shit online? you seriously just keep digging until someone calls you out then the best you can do is “lmao k?” fuck off

Accidental transpose of an and m, the internet-old way for self-identification of suckage to be misconstrued as an attempt at humour. As the great qdb once said, “the keys are like right next to each other, happens to me all the time!”

This is one of the worst comment chains this week, great stuff. Makes me want to kill myself or bang my head into a wall
