      Of course it’s possible to fix it, they’ll just have to change some parameters around and retrain the entire model (which takes a long time). Not an easy fix, that’s for sure, but if anyone has the resources to do this, it’s Google.

    From my understanding these aren’t because that is trained into the ai. I believe it is just looking at a few pages in the moment and summarizing from there, obviously doing a poor job at guessing the relevancy. Somewhat of a fix would be stop taking pages from reddit.

    Well it had the most up votes! So clearly it was the most generally useful and true response in the whole thread!

      Because on Reddit (and here on Lemmy) people use up and downvotes exclusively to rate the quality of a post, not as a tool to show disapproval without having to be able to actually articulate why. I like when social interactions go exactly as intended - like in this case - and don’t devolve into two people arguing with silent mobs behind them.

      /s for everyone who’s as blind to sarcasm as this shitty AI from Google.

        Humor IS a quality though. Human voters are able, in aggregate, able to award certain types of humor. Which an LLM is not able to. Which gets recycled with no context, as fact.

        The internet would be a vastly different place if sarcasm and in jokes were not regarded as a type of “quality” content.

          Well, there’s an oddly existential argument to be made that “funny” AI answers like this or adding a pot of Elmer’s Glue to pizza sauce to get the cheese to stick are valued. Simply because those are the posts I’ve seen from Google AI, and I’ve never touched the feature myself.

          By letting a language “speaker” learn from Reddit and forums, we created an approximation of “that guy who thinks he’s a comedian” because that guy is always there and always drowns in upvotes. Clearly, he’s a valuable part of the discourse!

    My new peak is the chance that I’ll see some comment I made on Reddit be famous in this way.

    As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.

        I wouldn’t sell it and give Reddit the pleasure of it ever logging in again. And it’s near OG age.

        Plus I probably doxxed myself to myself over the years.

          I liked to switch accounts periodically so depending on which one struck I may be fine

    If you look at the reddit post it’s citing, it’s from r/shittysuperpowers. A subreddit where you come up with fake shitty super powers is now getting cited as truth by google

      Here’s the thing. You said a “jackdaw is a crow.”

      Is it in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that.

      As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.

      If you’re saying “crow family” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.

      So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people “call the black ones crows?” Let’s get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.

      Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that’s not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you’d call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don’t.

      It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?

      Idk this is probably about the most entertaining thing I’ve seen from this whole Reddit debacle and I’m kind of here for it.
