“AI will kill us all!”

AI:

[–] 30p87@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Besides it's ML, not really AI, this answer was actually generated by AI. Even though the google assistant and search are simple algorithms, that particular search result is from a prompt of ChatGPT where it agreed to the explicit statement "There are no African countries starting with K."

It's like a inattentive student getting called out by the teacher trying to scramble together some kind of reply while having not heard the question properly.

Oh I see.

Google probably should’ve tested this more before they released it

[–] Inductor@feddit.de 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This mostly wasn't actually Google, the website it refrences was written by ChatGPT, Google's crawler just found it and shows it in the summary.

An AI ouroboros if you will

The search was for Asia not Africa. Then google translate it into African

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In Africa, 'countries' don't start with k, countries starts with 'C'. Also in Africa, at the end of the day, it's night.

Every minute in africa 60 seconds pass

[–] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes. Together we can stop this! Please spread the word. Thank you for your attention.

Kenya believe it?

[–] Cjwii@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

Kazakh-stan D33ZNUTZ amirite?

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 12 points 2 years ago

Don't be silly! Everyone knows that Kazakhstan is the only country in Africa that starts with a K and that no Asian ones do!

Yup, that's why I don't use bing chat nor Google assistant to find info lol

[–] pezhore@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's was also on Google's "promoted" results via desktop and mobile browser for a few weeks.

If you weren't paying attention, it was easy to miss the source was some other LLM (emergent mind or something).

Edit: just checked, it's still there if you search for, "african countries that start with k".

More and more articles will be written by language models and that really sucks 😔

ChatGPT literally makes exactly that mistake (with the initial letters)

[–] planish@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

The problem is they have no idea about the internal structure of the tokens they use, except what's present in the data set. The model sees "Kenya" as 8473 299 = Ken ya or something, and how is it supposed to know token 8473, often used for the name of Barbie's boyfriend, starts with K?

Also they love to make up Fun Facts.

[–] dwan@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

This is so silly. My kind of joke.

[–] ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Kenya hear me kids?!

[–] IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah it’s written as D’Kenya the D is silent

[–] nonearther@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

So instead of calling it Kenland, they called it Kenya.

This is why Ken is in wrong place.
