It doesn’t exist. Source: I’m here.
Where?
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
There
Flat Earth and other loonies will be all over this as an “accidental leak”
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?
Accoring to my sources, only New Zealand and France are real

Wake up sheeple, time to get with the program. It’s finally all coming out…
Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then?
Guildenstern and Rosenkrantz are Dead FTW!
I’ll bet it does though.
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.
Search engines don’t make claims. They just deliver search results. People who fail to understand the difference have a really hard time interpreting the results.

The vast majority of those answers are still just citing another source, though. The only exceptions I can think of are things like math and unit conversions.
My point is mostly that people insist on treating search engines (and now LLMs) as oracles of truth, and they did that even back when all you got was a list of links with small excerpts. It annoys me to no end when people fail so thoroughly at such a basic test of media literacy and then immediately try to place the blame on someone else.
Where the info comes from doesn’t exactly change that it’s a problem.
You can talk about media literacy, but why even have the thing exist if it can’t provide correct answers. That’s its only reason for existing.
You seem to be one of the very people I’m complaining about. The point of a search engine absolutely is not to spoon feed you correct answers. It’s to find information on the internet that’s relevant to a topic. There’s lots of wrong information on the internet and it’s not a search engine’s job to decide for you what’s right and what’s wrong.
Nobody is saying otherwise. The problem being discussed here is that search engines present themselves as “deciding what’s right and wrong” and present themselves as “spoon feeding correct answers”. If we really want to improve media literacy, we can begin by advocating for our search tools to not misrepresent the presentation of their data.
Yeah, but it’s changing. Search Engines today don’t just present you links to other websites, but have also started to take some of that information and show it to you directly. First it was by showing you little excerpts, but now with Bing Chat it’s becoming a lot more developed.
With Bing Chat, you ask your search engine a question, and it will answer you directly in a conversation-like manner. This feels a lot more like it’s not just showing you a list of sources, but it’s answering you directly, making claims, stating “facts” etc. You can easily forget it’s just a search engine, can’t fault people for this.

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

You also need a comma before ‘Jerry’.

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.

Thought that was New Zealand, since thats only on maps 50% of the time
I was “thinking” of NZ ;) Not sure about Finland but also, yes \s
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 ;)
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?
Ah yes, the classic Australian tribal war dance
I award you 1 internet.
Is there any equivalent of that ol’ Reddit-aroo?
Who cares about kangaroo land?
Kind of fucked up that we claim it does exist when you think about it
