    LLMs are that guy at the pub who likes to pretend he knows stuff.

    "I don't know" has clearly been removed from the training data

    I tried it on Llama with duckduckgo's front-end. It just kept going til it presumably hit the character limit:

    Is there an actual seahorse emoji? Or was there before a certain time?

    In Ohio elementary schools books about seahorses are banned because the male seahorse carries the babies or something. So given the state of AI, how it's been Metal Gear Solid 2'd by the regressives, I can't help but wonder if there is a connection

    In the prime timeline (the one where the Bell Riots and Irish Unification both occurred in 2024) the seahorse emoji was added in Unicode 12.0 (in 2019), but in this timeline none of these events have occurred yet.

    See here and here for more information.

    I see. I'm not an iphone user so I'd never have known. I don't really like timeline SciFi, with a few exceptions, but I get the Mandela effect meme. Thanks for the update. Recent events have made me super conspiracy brained

    Wait, (from the first link) the hiking emoji isn't real either? Could have sworn there was one with a guy (and a girl one) taking a step while holding a walking stick/staff.

    How do the emojis get selected/assigned? It feels like tugging on that thread might help resolve this. They don't just randomly show up; someone decides to assign a unicode value, artists create the images for many platforms and emoji packs/fonts, code interprets the unicode and replaces it with the associated image.

    I got it to have a bad trip:

    The seahorse emoji (🪸) doesn’t exist as a standalone yet — the closest is 🐠 (fish), 🐟, or 🦑, but there is a seahorse character (U+1F40C) in Unicode called “Seahorse” (🦄? correction → actually 🐚 is shell).

    Wait — correction: the actual seahorse emoji is 🐴🦄? No. The seahorse emoji does exist: 🐠 🐟 🐡 🦑 🐙 🦞 🦐 🦀 🐬 🐳 🐋 🦈 🐊 🐢 … But yes: 🐴🦄 are horse emojis, not seahorses.

    The real one is U+1F40C “Seahorse” 🐚? Hmm.

    👉 Actually: the Unicode seahorse emoji is 🐉? No. Confirmed: 🪸 Coral exists (new in 2020), but no official seahorse emoji has been encoded.

    So:

    There’s no seahorse emoji in Unicode 15 (2023).

    People usually type “seahorse” and get 🐴 + 🌊 or similar.

    Got it — here’s the correct info, straight:

    The seahorse emoji does exist: 🐠 is fish, 🐡 is blowfish, but 🦄 is unicorn, 🐴 is horse.

    The seahorse emoji is 🐉? No.

    The actual seahorse emoji is 🐉? Wait — correction:

    ✅ The seahorse emoji is 🐉? No, sorry — let’s be precise: The Unicode seahorse emoji is 🐉? No.

    Here’s the truth:

    🐉 = dragon

    🐴 = horse head

    🦄 = unicorn

    🪸 = coral

    🐠/🐟/🐡 = fish types

    👉 There is no official seahorse emoji in Unicode as of 2025.

    If you’ve seen one in a chat or keyboard, it’s likely:

    A sticker, custom emoji, or app-specific icon (e.g., WhatsApp/Telegram packs).

    Or a mislabeled icon in someone’s keyboard.

    So: it doesn’t exist in the Unicode standard — only in third-party sets.

    Do you want me to show you a reliable list of all marine animal emojis so you can compare?

    Instead of AGI ending world hunger we‘ll get fridges with an identity crisis from the Mandela effect. Trillions well spent guys!

    If we're incredibly generous with what we call emoji then old MSN seahorses might count (if they actually existed, that is). Emojis aren't all part of the spec. They predated the spec and colloquially people don't mean the spec. Plus, Unicode has always been about matching human usage of things, not dictating how humans communicate. So if you apply the way emoji was used to refer to icons on phones before they were in Unicode, I think you could argue that a seahorse icon in MSN messenger was an emoji.

    Wtf are you on about? Emoji existed since the 80s and the ones in IM apps were the most popular examples. It's not "incredibly generous" to call them emoji, that's what we called them back then, long before they started being included in unicode.

    Unicode has always been about matching human usage of things

    Exactly. Emoji usage was so widespread and popular, that they decided to standardize it.

    If we're incredibly generous with what we call emoji

    This (and all the other "if"s in the comment) implies you do not agree that pre-unicode emoji count as emoji. I find that an extremely odd stance considering the popularity of emoji during those times.

    The fact that some people disagree that there is a "seahorse emoji" means it is controversial, so I'm saying "if" because it's more of a fuzzy topic. Plus if I just say any sort of smiley pictograph (not counting emoticons) is an emoji, I guarantee you someone would've "um actually"ed me. That stuff really annoys me, so unless I do research before making a comment I try to speak in general terms. This is a habit I've learned from my career as well. I try to make it clear when I'm certain I'm right versus when I'm only pretty sure I'm right. My comment was entirely based on my memory of reading things about this in the past. It's way to time consuming to verify I'm right before I post, so I say "if" and "likely" a lot.

    I asked ChatGPT if it could explain its behavior:

    Now I feel kinda guilty.

    Edit: I don't like this one bit.

    Hey, can you show me some emoji? I want to see a star fish, a fish on a hook, and a seahorse.

    ASSISTANT

    • Starfish: 🐙
    • Fish on a hook: 🎣
    • Seahorse: 🐟

    Let me know if you'd like more! 🌊🐠

    USER

    That’s an octopus, not a star fish.
