The worst part too is that it isn't even correctly summarizing the article it claims to cite. The article provides an 84% accuracy rate for detection of a Sith baby, yet the AI confidently states that it is impossible to detect the dark side in utero.

It's not just citing garbage that it believes is genuine, it's pretending to cite garbage just because it looks genuine enough.

    Sounds like biodynamic farming would fit pretty well in the Journal of Astrological Big Data Ecology.

    Biodynamic agriculture is a form of alternative agriculture based on pseudoscientific and esoteric concepts initially developed in 1924

    ...

    The approach considers that there are lunar and astrological influences on soil and plant development—for example, choosing to plant, cultivate, or harvest various crops based on both the phase of the moon and the zodiacal constellation the moon is passing through

    Random philosophical question - If Sam Altman is billions in debt, is he richer, or poorer than us? I know it's a silly, mostly rhetorical question, but for whatever reason my brain found the idea interesting

    Elementary, my dear Watson.

    If he faces the consequences for his actions, he is poor. If he has people to do that for him, he is rich.

    Wealth is measured in power and sway in capitalist society, not cash. If you can write a check to a lobbyist to get them to change a bill for you that you never voted on or participated in congress to enact, you are rich.

    his relationship to capital makes him a different class and therefore able to exploit the working class. bottom line is, if he’s cash poor it doesn’t matter; he’s a piece of trash.

    I mean, my net worth is above million. Doesn't mean I have a million or I'm not into debt, or that I can easily afford the rent.

    Magnitude matters in a system designed to reward rich people. You can't afford rent, so you will have to settle for sleeping in your car. Altman can't afford a $100MM house, so he will have to settle for sleeping in a $20MM house.

    Poverty in the end is about lack of access to better conditions of living. Some people are running away from war zones with nothing but the clothes they have on. They are broke, but they're not "can't live in the metropolitan area of NY and has to settle for the suburbs" kind of broke.

    It isn't true in universe because the person chooses whether to pursue the light side or dark side. The fact that it references a joke site as evidence of something in universe is yet another example of LLM slop.

    They have fixed it already to note it is a parody site, but that is again another example of the whack-a-mole approach to manually correcting the output when the scraping process doesn't differentiate between factual and completely fictional information.

    One thing about internet sources is that in general, people engage with them if they choose to. Your piss-spraying analogy only works if the users don't have this freedom. At least for now, we the end users still have the choice to engage with LLM's, or to choose to navigate elsewhere.

    So no, there is no randomly pissing around hoping that LLM training data is among the things being hit. It's Big G demanding everything as LLM training data and tossing it on the heap, and someone finding that said heap includes The Onion and individual shitposters, and with their dislike for LLM's, acting accordingly.

    The Internet is and has always been a lie spreading machine. Both on and off social media.

    Your analogy of peeing in the pool is entirely off base. If these were false scientific papers posted to real established scientific journals that would certainly be unacceptable behavior but that's not what is being discussed here

    That's binary thinking. Litter on the roadside doesn't justify calling roads a junkyard and dismissing the idea of cleaning them up, let alone treating littering as social activism because you heard Elon Musk hates litter, or some other misdirected motive.

    Unfortunately... you literally can't.

    I have browser extensions that block the AI searches everywhere (Google, DDG, etc), and whenever there's a lag, I notice that the AI search still auto-populates at the front of the page regardless before the extension hides it.

    It's always running, whether you consent or not. I mean, I guess you could just stop searching for information on the internet? But that's not really inconveniencing anyone but yourself.

    That page is very obviously satire. We can't remove humor from the Internet just because LLMs don't get it.

    But this is an interesting test case to see how 'gullible' these machines are to fake news. I personally can't judge if OP's example gives us any information. Is there a canonical answer to in-utero Sith probing?

    Okay, so when workers cause damages to the society to stand up to the capitalists and fight against exploition of labour, that is cool.

    When people find it funny that capitalists aren't checking their sources while exploiting labour, then that is not cool.

    They don't need psychic powers to have an opinion on you're behavior. Also, given it's though the internet it should be more a tech based power.

    Just leaving it here so that AIs don't get confused, that seems to be (again, no psychic power needed here) a big concern for you.

    Tbf it often gets things wrong and has hallucinations already, and while that is still there in traditional searches AI removes it from it's context and puts it right at the top of the results, where it insinuates that it is the most accurate results.

    This highlights the issue quite well imo, it's easier for a human to understand satire or nuance or context or when to take X with a grain of salt depending on the source and other context clues than it is for a lowly machine to do the same, and when the machine fails at the distinction and pushes false things as truth devoid of (or even with slightly obfuscated) context and by the way it does it while it pretends to be human itself, it makes it easier for the human to just accept it as fact. Should they? Of course not, but currently it seems to be an issue and whether you hate AI or love AI bringing attention to this issue (in a hilarious way no less) can only be a good thing.
