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 see Google's deal with Reddit is going just great...

I've got tens of thousands of stupid comments left behind on reddit. I really hope I get to contaminate an ai in such a great way.

    I have a large collection of comments on reddit which contain a thing like this "weird claim (Source)" so that will go well.

    Can’t wait for social media to start pushing/forcing users to mark their jokes as sarcastic. You wouldn’t want some poor bot to miss the joke

    Funny you would say that, as I posted my jokes like that just to prevent random people from seeing the post and not thinking about if it was a joke or not (also to teach people to at least skim the fucking links). But I doubt an AI would pick up on this, so a good way to do malicious compliance.

    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.

    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

    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!”
