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.
I see Google's deal with Reddit is going just great...
this post's escaped containment, we ask commenters to refrain from pissing on the carpet in our loungeroom
Rug micturation is the only pleasure I have left in life and I will never yield, refrain, nor cease doing it until I have shuffled off this mortal coil.
careful about including the solution
"We trained him wrong, as a joke" -- the people who decided to use Reddit as source of training data
Right, no offense but even at it's peak of quality, you still had to sift through Reddit and have the discernement to understand what was legit, what was humorous and what was just straight bullshit.
Right? I'd recommend rubber cement over Elmer's.
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!"
Edit: Hey mod team. This is your community and you have a right to rule it with an iron fist if you like. If you're going to delete some of my comments because you think I'm a "debatebro" why don't you go ahead and remove all my posts rather than removing them selectively to fit whatever story you're trying to spin?
This is why actual AI researchers are so concerned about data quality.
Modern AIs need a ton of data and it needs to be good data. That really shouldn't surprise anyone.
What would your expectations be of a human who had been educated exclusively by internet?
Even with good data, it doesn't really work. Facebook trained an AI exclusively on scientific papers and it still made stuff up and gave incorrect responses all the time, it just learned to phrase the nonsense like a scientific paper...
This is what happens when you let the internet raw dog AI
This is what happens when you just throw unvided content at an AI. Which was why this was a stupid deal to do in the first place.
They're paying for crap.
AI poisoning before AI poisoning was cool, what a hipster
Did you know that Pizza smells a lot better if you add some bleach into the orange slices?
Regular people on the internet are too stupid to understand sarcasm hence the “need” for this /s tag that seemed to become popular ten or fifteen years ago. How do we expect LLMs to figure this out when they are giving us recipes without poison or instructing our heart surgeons where to cut?
Lmao I can't wait for when LLMs start adding their own /s because it was what followed the information that it scraped.
Yeah I don't know about eating glue pizza, but food stylists also add it to pizzas for commercials to make the cheese more stretchy
Yeah but it's not supposed to be edible. It's only there to look good on camera.
Weelll I'm a bot how am I supposed to know the difference? And it looks much better, which is something I can grasp.
Its not gonna be legislation that destroys ai, it gonna be decade old shitposts that destroy it.
Well now I'm glad I didn't delete my old shitposts
Everyone who neglected to add the "/s" has become an unwitting data poisoner
Corollary: Everyone who added the /s is a collaborator of the data scraping AI companies.
