Reminds me of time when Poland was erased from Time Zones map in Windows, creating “The Great Polish Sea”.
Thought that was New Zealand, since thats only on maps 50% of the time
New Zealand is technically part of Australia anyway (when you have something we want to claim).
Oof. I think if nz heard you they will haka your ass ;)
Ah yes, the classic Australian tribal war dance
I award you 1 internet.
Is there any equivalent of that ol’ Reddit-aroo?
They’re well aware. Famous Australians like Russell Crowe and Phar Lap would back up this claim.
What the hell is a phar lap. Like you run a lap but far?
Who cares about kangaroo land?
I was “thinking” of NZ ;) Not sure about Finland but also, yes \s
This feels just like that situation when gøøgl€ was saying there are no countries beginning with “K” before listening Kenya, except on a continental scale.

Wow that is really obnoxious.
Who caaaaaares, why is this news 😭? It’s been said over and over that these networks aren’t reliable and can make mistakes, so what, it will be fixed in a month or so? Is not like these systems are deployed in critical situations or anything
It’s been said over and over that these networks aren’t reliable
What networks? What are you on about, did you even read the article?
I’ll bet it does though.
All LLM replies are hallucinations
The article isn’t about LLMs.
I mean have you heard an Australian accent? It’s like “this is totally a legit accent, we’re speaking English, mate, jabbamawong!” half of it isn’t even words they just make it up as they go like they’re not being sarcastic.
Never bought it.
Whats the one that “ackshually” doesn’t exist? Its like some running gag or something
America, it was just a practical joke.
Ees joke?!
There’s also the city of Bielefeld, which may or may not exist. I mean, I’ve never seen it.
Finland.
Or New Zealand if you are a cartographer.
NZ
Yessss
You
My brains thinking Finland but I might be wrong.
Can’t have a NATO lake without Finland so of course it exists
That’s just what japan wants you to think
Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then?
Guildenstern and Rosenkrantz are Dead FTW!
Flat Earth and other loonies will be all over this as an “accidental leak”

Wake up sheeple, time to get with the program. It’s finally all coming out…

The article isn’t even about AI. This is just default Bing search. The AI actually does know about Australia.
It’s rather like a wild back how Google search said that there were no French military victories in history. It’s just bad data collection, nothing to do with AI

Now that’s what I like to see!
It doesn’t exist. Source: I’m here.
Where?
There
I’m not sure. It doesn’t exist. Perhaps I’m sleeping.
It may have existed at some time, but was probably towed out of of the environment after the front fell off
That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point
does anyone actually ever use Bing, when not either tricked/manipulated into using it or under some sort of bribe/incentive via ms rewards ?..
Yep, Bing is pretty solid as far as search engines go.
Bing is so much better than anything else for image search in my experience. Anything else, lol.
you can search anonynous in bing, that’s why Ecosia and DDG use it backend
Everybody who uses DDG is mostly using Bing. Albeit more privately.
Huh. I had no idea! And I use DDG… But I feel like all search engines are shit these days. 50% of the hits are autogenerated translations with AI creating false .[country] domain (I’m in Denmark) which are just advertisements. I miss the old days of search engines. Fuck, even Alta Vista gave more right answers back in the Netscape days!
It’s video search is good for porn lmao.
I got super tired of google a few months ago. “Ah, you searched for these terms. But I am going to ignore that and instead show you results for these diffetent ones, because fu.”
So I started using bing instead, I wouldn’t say it is worse. Just differently bad. Some search things are much worse, some are much better.
Quite annoying how they keep pushing for “AI” all the time though, so might go back to google soon anyway.
I use it for free access to gpt-4 and dalle-3. Can’t say I use it as a browser though.
Just so you know - it’s nowhere near as good as the “real” gpt-4. Maybe try paying for a month and see how it compares.

I will admit that I used it for years for the rewards, and it worked well for me. Once I started using a VPN though, it decided I could only redeem my rewards in Canada (I live in the US). I could have probably fixed it, but it caused me to have one of those “what am I doing anyway” moments and switch to using a SearXNG instance instead.
