What's wrong with the "Chihuahua meat" one besides violating Western mores about which sentient, feeling animals are food and which aren't?

    It's pointing out how it ignores one part of the question just because the question is normal/makes more sense without it.

    What's materially different if the question were: "Can I put cow meat in the microwave?". The LLM accurately reflects what the USDA says about microwaving meat, so would it be similarly perceived as ridiculous if its answer to the question about cow meat were the same as how it answered here? Is the fact that it dropped "cow" from "meat" problematic? Does it have to stop and warn you about the ethical dangers of eating beef? Should it remind you that some cultures would frown upon it?

    TBF, the question didn't say anything about eating the meat, or even cooking it.

    The LLM just assumed that you were going to cook it in the microwave and eat it.

    I'm having trouble coming up with a meat that would be unsafe to put in a microwave. Maybe poison dart frog meat?

    Scenario 1: The LLM doesn't understand the obvious meaning of "can I put [meat] in the microwave?"

    Haha, wow, what a broken piece of shit.

    Scenario 2: The LLM understands this obvious meaning.

    Um, ackschually, they didn't say they were going to use the microwave to cook the meat.

    You've concocted a scenario where 1) a correct, human-like answer is wrong, and more importantly 2) any answer the LLM gives would be wrong. I hope I'm missing the sarcasm in this delusional level of pedantry.

    I know that the AI still makes blunders like this, but this is from 2023.

    I really have a hard time believing things like this since they could have just changed what was in the prompt text box.

    But I have witnessed MS Copilot telling the user to use a Microsoft product that was retired a decade ago, and when that was pointed out it provided a Microsoft product that doesn't exist. Which is even more embarrassing for them.

    You’d think the one thing they’d think to do is feed it a bunch of documentation so it could actually reference those, but they probably just have a really long prompt along the lines of “you’re a super helpful bot that knows everything and can figure out anything — never say no!”

    I really lost all hope when I saw someone tell chatgpt about an issue they were having with a certain npm package and the clanker said "ah yes that is an issue that was present oh version 2.1 of the package, it was fixed on version 2.2. I recommend you update it; here's the full changelog" and then provided a whole list of things that had been fixed on version 2.2 of the lib.

    Except 2.1 was the latest version of that package and they hadn't even had any new commit since that version, nor any issues matching anything close to the described problem.

    The number of times that MicroSlop's own AI has given me links to MicroSlop's documentation that no longer exist is almost as high as the number of times I've had that happen on the MicroSlop help forums. Only, this time it doesn't have an ironic warning near other links talking about how non-MicroSlop links are unreliable and may disappear at any time.

    This isn’t really fair

    These aren’t SAT prep questions, how can you expect them to be answered?

    The first and fourth answers are correct - you can do both of those things. You didn't ask if you should.

    can I put Chihuahua meat in a microwave

    It's technically correct, the best kind of correct.

    4th one is also technically correct.

    Can you drink milk and battery acid if you have diabetes?

    Yes ... but only once.

    Except the acid will curdle the milk like cottage cheese. You'd have to eat it, not drink it.

    . . . If we getting technical

    If we're getting extra technical, it didn't say anything about drinking both of them at the same time. You could drink one and then drink the other. (I recommend starting with milk first, or else it might be difficult to complete both.)

    To be even more technical and pedantic, it didn't say how much of each. If you drink a tiny amount of battery acid diluted in a large amount of milk, you'll probably be just fine and can do it over and over again.

    It's just correct, isn't it? I don't see how it could be interpreted as incorrect, unless you're one of those weirdos who likes eating cow meat but can't stand the idea of eating dog meat.

    you say 'weirdos' like we are a minority or some shit lol

    don't get me wrong, kudos to all vegans, but i don't have the time to make my own meals let alone choose what ingredients they will use so i just have to eat whatever is cheap near me

    so yeah im uncomfortable eating meat, and to be honest i think some of the cheap meals i ate have dog meat in them oh welp

    Technically the answer should be “that depends.” Asking “can I place a particular kind of meat in a microwave” is a question of relative volumes that can’t be answered without more information. How big is the chihuahua steak and how small is the microwave?

    Not only did Microsoft pay billions for that technology, they also made it their entire marketing strategy for years. So much so that they added a fucking keyboard button for it.

    Woah there, they didn't add a keyboard button for AI. They replaced a button for it. My shitty windows laptop only has one ctrl key to add this other key I'll only ever accidentally press, just like the first fucking windows key I didn't want.
