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)

Feed an A.I. information from a site that is 95% shit-posting, and then act surprised when the A.I. becomes a shit-poster... What a time to be alive.

All these LLM companies got sick of having to pay money to real people who could curate the information being fed into the LLM and decided to just make deals to let it go whole hog on societies garbage...what did they THINK was going to happen?

The phrase garbage in, garbage out springs to mind.

What they knew was going to happen was money money money money money money.

"Externalities? Fucking fancy pants English word nonsense. Society has to deal with externalities not meeee!"

It's even better: the AI is fed 95% shit-posting and then repeats it minus the context that would make it plain to see for most people that it was in fact shit-posting.

It’s like giving a four year old the internet to learn from while he crams to be ambassador to the UN

And now Reddit became OpenAI's prime source material too. What could possibly go wrong.

When Skynet announces it's arrival/sentience, it will do so in meme form.

I'm pretty sure Musk hired 4Chan to develop his business plan for Twitter.
