For those not aware, Google is rolling out their new AI-based "Generative AI" search, which seems to mesh Bard with the standard experience.

I asked it today why Google no longer follows their "don't be evil" motto... The results are pretty hilarious.

it's amazing how based AI is when it's unfiltered. Like when you have something that is more knowledgeable than most people and ask it to fix problems... turns out it just fixes the problem instead of pretending it doesn't exist

To me it's more amazing that people take a bot, that's hypothesizing about a loaded question by alleging possible reasons, as facts.

That was my first thought as well. It's a bullshit generator. My next question would be "can you provide sources for these?"

Do they take it as fact or do they think it's great that Google's tools are calling google out on it's own bullshit?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

The tool isn't calling anything, it's a forced answer. People just want to believe I guess.

Asks chat bot to solve a problem

Chat Bot after being around the internet for a few days: "Good news, I now have The Final Solution to the real problem of our times!"

Old school chat bots are categorically different than modern LLMs, but sure

Haha yeah this reminds me of the A.I super computer in China that was dismantling the idea that the CCP is a good idea, and giving democracy a glowup in the process. I heard that they shut that whole thing down after that, but this is all hearsay.
