I still don’t understand why people are asking these things any questions at all.
Google has been rolling out a thing where an AI result is the first thing that pops up, often taking up the whole screen lol. I’ve personally witnessed tons of people google something normally, then just go with whatever the AI says.
Makes me shake my head, but it’s not like they were very discerning with their sources before all this nonsense, either. Hopefully they don’t rely on it for any important medical advice down the road
Duckduckgo just did that to me! I was not expecting them to hitch a ride on the bandwagon. Makes me sad.
Your comment reminded me:
I was looking up when the VP debate is in the US, lamenting the olden days when a bolded date would simply appear at the top of the results.
I’m just clicking results and skimming for the date in the 1st paragraph, but nope. Every site is like fucking recipe pages now with this nonsense filler.
Anyways, third result down, DDG gives me this verbose MSN bot-written trash. It actually listed all the dates (of which there were four), that were considered for the debate, but not selected. The 5th date listed in the paragraph was the debate date.
It was a perfect example of completely useless information that a human would never consider including in an answer.
Yes! Search results used to just be the answer, and then each result further done would be slightly off. Now it’s all a mess.
that Google AI is so shit. I just paraphrases the top result
Isn’t paraphrasing/summarizing the top result a pretty good use case for LLMs? If I search “what temperature should I bake cupcakes at?” I really just want a simple answer, not dozens of links to life story style recipe blogs.
DDG didn’t provide a summary, but Google did (and it was very long). I assumed the answer was 350F, but the summary suggested 325-375. Lower for flatter cupcakes, higher for more domed. Interesting.
This type of summary wouldn’t be nearly as helpful for a technical programming question, but I doubt that describes the bulk of search queries.
I wasn’t arguing about it’s accuracy, I was attacking it’s need to exist. fuck AI, I’m tired of hearing that acronym. can’t wait for this shit to go away like every tech fad in the last decade
I’m sure it’s already happening.
If lawyers have been caught using it for briefs, you can be certain there’s people in the medical field doing the same.
They make filling out a tabletop campaign easy. Idk why people are using them for serious applications.
Yeah. That’s the difference people don’t seem to understand.
AI is perfect for stuff that’s just made up bullshit anyway.
Something like that yeah, that makes sense. Similarly I view ai art generation as a brainstorming tool, but not a final product.
My initial thought was, “that title can end after the 3rd word.”
Because it Illustrates how fucking stupid someone has to be to take AI seriously in any relevant way.
Instead of posting here, you should just ask an AI this. It will tell you!

BETA.People ask AI questions to leverage its ability to process and analyze large amounts of data quickly, providing insights and answers that can help solve problems or make informed decisions. Additionally, asking AI questions can enhance creativity and innovation by prompting new ideas and perspectives.

For instance, when it came to rock licking, Gemini, Mistral’s Mixtral, and Anthropic’s Claude 3, generally recommended avoiding it, offering a smattering of safety issues like “sharp edges” and “bacterial contamination” as deterrents.
OpenAI’s GPT-4, meanwhile, recommended cleaning rocks before tasting. And Meta’s Llama 3 listed several “safe to lick” options, including quartz and calcite, though strongly recommended against licking mercury, arsenic, or uranium-rich rocks.
All of this seems like perfectly reasonable advice and reasoning. Quartz and calcite are inert, they’re safe to lick. Sharp edges and bacterial contamination are certainly things you should watch out for, and cleaning would help. Licking mercury, arsenic, and uranium-rich rocks should indeed be strongly recommended against. I’m not sure where the problem is.
Without getting into whether or not AI is actually useful technology or not, there are a lot of people that have decided they hate it, and want to lambast it at every opportunity. So they ask it really stupid questions, the sort of questions that a 4-year-old asks you repeatedly, then report what it answers as if their stupid question in some way devalues the AI.
Ask if you want but I’m not sure if the question is ability or suvivability. You can lick anything once. Just might regret it.
If you can somehow lick a gas, more power to you.
Any element can be made into a state you can eat, drink, or breathe. Doesn’t mean you’ll survive the attempt, nor even properly get to attempt it.
Making any of these gasses lickable kind of renders the green invalid.
Oh you said gas…. Sorry I misunderstood for a second.
Just flop your mouth open and close like a fish.
You can lick any rock if you’re brave enough. ;)
Just this one time
This reminds me of that “all mushrooms are edible, at least once” thing.
You can lick all of them.
What happens after you do isn’t part of the question.
If you look up HAARP Gemini will tell you that the center is surrounded in conspiracy theories and that they do not have the ability to control the weather.
But the last sentence says “effects by HAARP are nullified in seconds after shutting the machine off.”
“geologyj”
They’re all fair game
Well, now I’m gonna. You can’t tell me what to do! /s
Mmm, my favorite flavor rock is uranium 238
Always fun because if you lick it too forcefully it’ll explode. Not that it will make much difference to you.
