Hey hey hey hey don't look at what it actually does.

Look at what it feels like it almost can do and pretend it soon will!

You don't get it because you aren't an AI genius. This chatbot has clearly turned sentient and is trolling you.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It doesn't take an AI genius to understand that it is possible to use low parameter models which are cheaper to run but dumber.

Considering Google serves billions of searches per day, they're not using GPT-5 to generate the quick answers.

By now AI are feeding on other AI and the slop just gets sloppier.

I've found the google AI to be wrong more often than it's right.

Seems it "thinks" a T is a D?

Just needs a little more water and electricity and it will be fine.

It's more likely that Connecticut comes alphabetically after Colorado in the list of state names and the number of data sets it used for training that were lists of states were probably abover the average, so the model has a higher statistical weight for putting connecticut after colorado if someone asks about a list of states

Connecdicut or Connecticud?

[–] EonNShadow@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Maybe it thought you were asking for states that contain the letter D? In which case it missed Idaho, Nevada, Maryland, Rhode Island (with two) and both Dakotas

So yea it did pretty poorly either way lmao
