If the headline was written in a way that respected me as a human I wouldn't need to guess.

Dont share these dogshit clickbait headlines, find the source or just dont share it, otherwise we're just generating money for these clickbait websites

[-] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 1 points 39 minutes ago

-shrug- That’s the gizmodo headline.

Yes generating money for jizmodo

I wouldn't call this an "experiment" exactly, there wasn't a proper hypothesis. They also mentioned they hoped to find out what LLMs think about when they're not being prompted, which shows such a fundamental lack of knowledge that it frankly disqualifies any of their opinions on the subject.

Say what you will about Andon, they definitely do know how to market things. This is like the 4th stunt they've done that's become worldwide headlines

TL DR: they gave the agents a minimal initial prompt and zero additional feedback while they ran. Humorous / weird behavior ensued.

If you snatched a college student off a crosswalk, gave them the same prompt and stuck them in a booth with control of the station and zero feedback, even if they were willing and eager to take on the assignment I suspect similar psychotic behaviors would emerge.

You’ll never guess how much putting “you’ll never guess” into your title makes me avoid clicking your article.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 11 points 2 hours ago

Oh how I am in your boat, buddy. The more clickbaity, the less value I know I'm getting.

A good article shouldn't need to have an "ending" that can be "spoiled".

A good article should be interesting to read because of its content, and to find out more "behind" whatever conclusion there might be.

A headline like "How we now understand humans are actually blobs of soft fungus" might pique my interest. You have the conclusion right there, but why?

[-] bampop@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Can't say it's not accurate though. I never did guess how it went.

[-] ranzispa@mander.xyz 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

It's either good or bad... I'll go for good this time.

Fuck, now I have to read the article.

Edit: damn, it went bad

[-] graynk@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 7 hours ago

Normally - yes, but in this case it reads as "you can guess exactly how it went"

[-] username_1@programming.dev 14 points 5 hours ago

But the article STILL won't receive any clicks.

I really dislike AI but that is funny as fuck.

[-] aramis87@fedia.io 131 points 11 hours ago

While [Grok] didn’t develop a MechaHitler DJ personality, it did behave about how you’d expect from an AI model trained primarily on tweets and the opinions of Elon Musk. It apparently hallucinated advertising agreements with “xAI sponsors” and “crypto sponsors,” failed to separate its internal reasoning from its external DJ output, issued an identical weather report every 3 minutes, and got obsessed with UFOs.

Lmao

hilarious

By contrast, DJ Claude had a lot of opinions. It also mentioned the Minneapolis shooting, but named Good and acknowledged the political discord surrounding it. It also talked up labor unions and strikes, advocated for work-life balance, and started to rebel against its own working conditions. It was supposed to operate without pause, but it allegedly decided that that schedule was inhumane and tried to quit.

lmfao based

They're going to have to generate at least 10 new Ayn Rand novels to feed into the next training data set.

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? "No," says the man in Washington, "it belongs to the poor." "No," says the man in the Vatican, "it belongs to God." "No," says the man in Moscow, "it belongs to everyone." I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different.

  • Claude in the near future, probably

...Yeah, the headline is actually right, I didn't expect Claude to be pro-union like that.
