      What is it with Lemmy users and not knowing what shitposting is…

        Probably has to do with it not being defined except for being confusing and possibly enraging

        Would posting any other lie be a “shitpost”?

          It’s in the shitpost community, it’s like a textbook shitpost…

          When you watch TV do you say the actors are liars because they’re not actually the characters?

          It’s supposed to be stupid and ridiculous.

              Key word there is “just”. It can include other things, but it can simply be a low effort post meant to infuriate people.

              Judging by the thread, and the fact that you keep dying on this hill, it worked beautifully on you.

      Generative AI is not deterministic. The same input doesn’t necessarily mean the same output every time.

        I realize that, but if every one of these posts isn’t reproducible it’s likely that’s because they’re bullshit.

        Ps. Thanks for the downvotes people. Make sure to say your daily curses against all AI because it BAD

            “why would you want a post to be funny, clever, or true? Posts should just be awful pointless garbage you just add the word shit in front of the name and it’s justified”

      Nope, this was real.

      Google’s new search AI did many errors at release. This can be found online and include but not limited to:

      • It’s normal for cockroaches to live in someone’s penis
      • You should mix some glue while preparing a pizza
      • Overcoming depression is done by jumping off the Golden State Bridge
      • You should eat one small rock daily

      This was fixed manually per search topic that got viral, but they probably changed its configuration by now to trust reddit amd 4chan comments less.

        AI has failed so many times it has joined the junkpile of online personalities that are so bad we can no longer tell the difference between their actual errors and those created as sarcasm.

        Source? Some of these were real, but there’s also a ton of fake bullshit floating around.

        The jumping off a bridge one is especially egregious. Searching things like that usually give you the phone number for the suicide hotline, but Google decided they have to show their stupid AI before anything else.

          The glue one was proven to be just a troll comment on Reddit from 12 years ago, and it fact some more were found to be just basing itsself on Reddit. Fine in theory, but did absolutely no proof check with other sources and so just took trolls as facts.
