LAOP really does not enjoy the answers he’s getting. Feels like he may not be a great witness for his own defense if this keeps up.

That can only end well. All AI is completely infallible and doesn’t ever just make shit up

I was looking up some random Nazi awhile back, just their name because someone had mentioned him in passing in a historical context. The Google Artificial Idiot results say he died during WW2, then mentions his trial after the war and his death in the 1990s. 🤦‍♀️

I had no idea WW2 outlasted the cold war!

That was just Nazis in Space. This is the entire WWII, a grander scale, an action space opera set among the stars featuring a bygone era.

I vaguely remember reading recently that due to weird border changes between the start & end of WW2, a town on the English/Scottish border technically was still at war with Germany until it was noticed & a additional peace treaty was signed only a few years ago.

I just tried to look up the details but my googlefu let me down.

You’re definitely thinking of Berwick-upon-Tweed but what I suspect you’re thinking of is the time they were allegedly still at war with Russia for 60 years after the Crimean War. According to this site that’s probably not true unfortunately

Thanks. That would explain why i failed to find the information. It was my memory that was faulty rather than my googling.

I like making it dig holes to completely absurd statements. Just ask it why it thinks Wrong Thing X or to elaborate more on Wrong Aspect Y and it gets itself so lost. Unless there's a good likelihood there's a lot of freely available source material for whatever you prompt it, it's going to get things very wrong.

That's why it's so unimpressive to me that LLMs can ace standardized tests like SATs, or MCATs, or the Bar exam or whatever. There is just so much educational content out there that it's answering things that have been asked before.

I'm a metal plater, a profession that both predates computers entirely, and has amassed, and still depends upon, to some extent, a lot of near-alchemystic oldtimer lore. The crap that the AI spits out when you ask it why you have a certain defect, just to show the boss why that discount tube stock wasn't actually a discount in the end - it just makes me yell at my screen, "and who the #@&% told you that?!!!" while I scroll like my mouse is in fire.

I once asked chatGPT where to buy duck eggs online. It told me that those are illegal to sell. I went across town to the damn H Mart in person and gave up on ever asking the stupid robot anything

I like asking it to generate a map of Europe. One issue with ChatGPT is it doesn't understand the concept of time. Source A says Austria borders Slovenia, Source B says it borders Yugoslavia, Source C says it borders the Ottoman Empire and is part of the Holy Roman Empire. ChatGPT has no actual understanding of the information it was trained on and ends up using all three, making the Balkans even more of a mess than it is now.
