This is actually a really common bug in transcription programs. It happens when one of the developers trains the AI model with video and audio of their dead child, Dorian. Just contact support and request that the developer tell the AI he's sorry he trapped him between this world and the next, and while he'll always love him, he knows it's time to let go; head towards the light, Dorian...it's ok...you're free now, Dorian, you're free. Then you'll probably need to restart your PC.

Be sure to wait until Dorian has been fully accepted into heaven before restarting your system or else his soul could get corrupted and end up trapped in purgatory forever.

True, although that bug is a lot easier to deal with. Instead of integrating hallucinated stories about Dorian into the transcript, you get a couple of extra lines of text now and then that read something like, "Daddy, where are you?" or, "I can't see, Daddy. I'm scared." It's annoying, but it's pretty easy to just CTR F the word, "Daddy," and delete it.

It doesn't really work with non-whites. Best it can do is Dorian Gray.

I would just leave Dorian in. Wouldn't want to assume he wasn't involved.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

That is going to be quite a lawsuit, when an actual Dorian gets hurt.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Exactly this. There are real people named Dorian, you can't just assume it's a hallucination every single time.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Well that boy better should not have been named Like what we showed our AI in our training data

Some CEO or representative of that company speaking to the Public when that lawsuit hits

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Actually I think Dorian is the one making any mistake here in the future.

Look out! AI will lead to mass unemployment. Better start farming! Don’t know how to farm? Just refer to Dorian’s Almanac for step by step instructions.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

It really will but not because it's so functional that we can't compete with it.

It's going to cause mass unemployment because the imagined potential end of labor is so lucrative that it's worth just about any price. Since the people who will own it don't have to pay most of that price they are of course willing to force it into every single space out there to further externalize research and development costs onto an unwilling public.

They genuinely don't care what is spent, broken, or lost in their pursuit of infinite wealth.

Sounds like they need another ai system for the de-dorian work /s

[-] [email protected] 38 points 1 day ago

This is exactly how i expect AI integration to continue to evolve.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago

It's inevitable, in 10 years we'll be 15 layers deep and no one will remember what layer 4 actually does.

We call it Agentic AI

"I'm sorry, Dorian. I'm afraid I can't do that."

"Better off Ted" had a bit of the same issue 16 years ago: https://vimeo.com/188033313

I remember in the early days of AI Dungeon (when it still used GPT 3), there were a few recurring characters from overfitting on a handful of text adventures. In the middle of a sci-fi adventure, but blood is mentioned? Count Grey speaks up from the corner: "Oh dear, are you bleeding? Come here child, let the Count clean you up."

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago

I'm so glad my company did the opposite and said we can't use AI transcription.

"But doctor, he says, I am Dorian!"

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

The basic non ai software has been around for a long time.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Ah yes, the DeDorian DMC8

[-] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago

The Picture of Dorian Grok.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I keep thinking that it's picking up on some slang or misheard stuff.

"Sans de rien"? Makes no sense. "Santo" something?

It's like how Alexa has no idea where Barnak is but is being ordered there by quebecois on the daily.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Sounds like someone added Dorian to the system prompt, or something like that. Perhaps someone who wasn't happy about the whole project?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Had to go to the hospital after the accident? Discharge papers signed by one Dr. Christopher Turk.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago

Dorian is real and he is my friend!

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

I’ve got a painting of him upstairs somewhere.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Some day Dorian will actually be in the call

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

And they will delete him and get sued for denying that someone's dead child actually existed.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That Dorian's a ~~real~~ fake menace!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago
