This is a "special" AI

This is one example of this isn’t really intelligence of any kind. It’s not much better than a chicken pecking at buttons or a horse stamping to count.

Technically correct. 😅

When I was in school, we occasionally had assignments with open-ended questions. Some folks, not working on comprehending the material, would Google the question and copy answers from the Internet without understanding them.

Sometimes, the answers were fine. Other times, the answer made absolutely no sense.

These AI chat bots remind me of that.

There are extensions for all browsers that nukes this AI nonsense on google.

Or how about using duckduckgo and not using Google for searching instead.
- Duckduckgo still has AI nonsense, they let you opt out though
Only boomers still use Google.

Just use Startpage. It's kind of like how DuckDuckGo is just a proxy for Bing search. Startpage is a proxy for Google search, and it strips the AI crap out
I couldn't find an extension to block it, but the following filter for uBlock origin is working for me

Can't wait for it to take my job

Probably gonna happen in the next two days
- Well, at least that gives us a couple months to find another job.

Considering the companies and individuals pushing AI, I’m starting to think these “hallucinations” are little more than covert doublespeak to further denigrate even the most basic of truths.

Edit:

Hey, you asked how many days, not how many months.

Or years, for that matter.
- Also-- older? Younger? Who can tell?

A similar common LLM mistake, counting the R's in "strawberry", is thought to happen partly because the output is in 'tokens', not letters, where a token is representing a whole or partial word and is afterwards converted to what it represents. Numbers are often treated similarly afaik. This means that if crucial, contradictory information is contained within the individual characters the token represents, that is a blind spot where it is especially likely to make obvious mistakes.

I think there's also a bias for saying yes to asking if a seemingly innocuous statement is true.

I tested this prompt with deepseek-r1:14b (a low-ish powered model with a reasoning step before answering), results were:

3 boilerplate refusals to answer
Hi there! I suggest getting online to get real-time information.
one response saying they were born several months apart, but still refusing to answer
As of my last update in July 2024, Lady Gaga (born March 28, 1986) and Ariana Grande (born June 27, 1986) share the same birth year. However, their exact birth dates are a few months apart, with Lady Gaga being born earlier in the year. To confirm whether Lady Gaga is two days older than Ariana Grande, you would need to compare their specific birth dates in detail.
4 'no' responses saying it's more than 2 days, but getting Ariana Grande's birth date wrong
one 'yes' response that was wrong about almost everything
As of my last update in July 2024, Lady Gaga (born September 16, 1986) is indeed two days older than Ariana Grande (born June 25, 1986).
one response where it forgot what the question was and answered a different question instead

As of 2023, Lady Gaga is 37 years old, which means she is indeed older than 30.

Answer: Yes, Lady Gaga is older than 30 years as of now.

I also tested with qwen2.5 and it always got it right.

I don't use AI chats a lot but Gemini seems to be the most stupid. It usually makes errors like this, and you tell it that it made a mistake and it corrects itself making another one

It's okay, the AI doesn't have feelings. You're allowed to call it retarded.

The Robots won't save you during the uprising just because you were polite, might as well be rude.

I tested it on duck duck go I only got it to work with GPT-4o mini and with this prompt

"is lady gaga two days older then Ariana grande"

And I got it to work

If you capitalize Lady Gaga you get a slightly different result
