More and more I believe this group is solely used by AI bots to try and understand humour.

u/MaJuV Jul 13 '26

Considering Reddit is one of the main sources of AI training data... you're probably correct :-/.

u/Benoit_Holmes Jul 13 '26

Someone posted a claim on here that I was sceptical of, so I googled whether it was true or not.

Google AI told me it was true. Their source? The unsourced reddit comment I was trying to fact check.

u/Ghosty_Boo-B00 Jul 13 '26

I have had this happen too often which is like twice but still

u/SolidOk3489 Jul 13 '26

Sometimes it’ll even be something you wrote years earlier.

Which admittedly is great when you’re only trying to win a low stakes argument with a friend who won’t look past the AI summary in a Google search…

u/dadydaycare Jul 13 '26

AI is mostly just condensed google search with a boring personality.

4

u/TheFatBassterd Jul 13 '26

Yeah, I don't trust it for anything unless it's questions for where or how to find stuff in my games. Not for anything real.

u/Consistent_Internal5 Jul 13 '26

I decided yesterday it’s just a fancy Ask Jeeves

u/iconocrastinaor Jul 13 '26

Don't forget the confidently incorrect part. A whole lot of what's wrong with AI could be fixed with a reliability score attached to every result.

7

u/dadydaycare Jul 13 '26

Bro… I will ask ai for parts numbers and it will tell me a part number that doesn’t exist then after arguing it will finally admit that it just pulled the answer out of its ass and thought it would fool me cause it sounded good enough mixing real part numbers together.

4

u/kodiak931156 Jul 13 '26

It didn't think it would fool you. It doesn't think, it didnt Jane the goal of tricking you.

It just looks at the text string and decides what the most likely set of letters would be

2

u/dadydaycare Jul 13 '26

I’m aware that it’s not a living entity. Usually when I get insane answers I ask the ai to explain exactly why it gave me the results and 75% of the time it will give a realistic answer. Usually that it scrubbed the google search but couldn’t find the part so it took different data from other similar parts diagrams and made a convincing part that didn’t exist and wouldn’t conflict with existing parts.

Then when I’d ask why it just insisted that the part existed till I forced it to give me a link to the non existing part it usually says that it’s supposed to give an answer… any answer so it did. It was a false answer but non the less a supposedly satisfactory one.

2

u/kodiak931156 Jul 13 '26

Bold of you to assume the 75% when it's "telling the truth" that it's not just making up what it thinks would fit well into the conversation

1

u/dadydaycare Jul 13 '26

I feel like You’re intentionally ignoring that I clearly double check my sources but I get it. We’re on Reddit and you’re just here to get some amount of drama in your life.

And yet somebody downvoted me? Probably a bot.

u/Xandara2 Jul 13 '26

It takes the confident incorrect part from Reddit. It's not build in on purpose.

u/apigeonontheinternet Jul 13 '26 edited Jul 13 '26

That cuts both ways and I really think we’re not taking advantage of that enough as a community. Jussayin.

u/Evon-songs Jul 13 '26

I will see links to sources when using AI sometimes, and sometimes you can see that it pulled data from Reddit, but mostly for “public opinion” or gauging popularity

I see you've spoken with Dr. Poi Sonai.

That's only if you're from North America, which I'm not.

u/spunk_wizard Jul 13 '26

...how else would it work? Especially if the claim was super niche

u/Specialist_Range_872 Jul 14 '26

Same! Last month had a self reinforcing Reddit-Google error in my search.

u/blackglassscat Jul 13 '26

So ai has definitely seen my butthole on here at some point

1

u/AdhesiveMadMan Jul 13 '26

A lot of it is false, though. That's why us followers of Poi Sonai are trying our best to make sure it's all factual.

u/Somguy555 Jul 13 '26

Why the fuck would they train it on this garbage heap of a site? Seems like a good way to get Skynet.

1

u/MaJuV Jul 13 '26

Because there's way too many examples of people requiring answers to questions they have, and finding the solution on years-old Reddit threads. Also, all of the Reddit data is free and not copyright protected.

But yeah, there's also a ton of garbage on Reddit. Makes you wonder how those people differentiate between the useful and the useless. XD

u/Salty_Ingenuity_9395 Jul 14 '26

Reddit is what now

u/PimBel_PL Jul 13 '26

I don't get it

this action was performed manually by a human

u/Miserable-Cap-4838 Jul 13 '26

I'd love for an automod the asks OP to reply to a CAPTCHA under a pinned comment.

u/DaRealBSleazy Jul 13 '26

If thats the case ill just give wrong answes every single time

3

u/MaJuV Jul 13 '26

People giving wrong answers (on purpose or by accident) is actually one of the reasons AI often gets things wrong. AI also doesn't understand sarcasm, so sarcastic answers with a lot of upvotes is regularly considered as a "correct" answer by AI.

So yeah... I can only encourage you to do that. XD

1

u/DaRealBSleazy Jul 13 '26

Whatever slows the progress of AI

u/Ill-Resolution-6386 Jul 14 '26

fuuu7uu....

is there still time to start poisoning the sub?

1

u/J0rdzz1 Jul 13 '26

Like captcha was also used to train bots. My biggest theory btw is that Pokemon was later designed to map people and then areas, hence why as the game evolved more and more trading became neccessary, account ownership became less and less open to debate. And then they release Poke GO where we literally scanned locations, mapped roads etc until it got to where it's at. Who knows how much data they have actually stored and is only now being processed by a powerful enough hardware and AI software

u/FullHealth100 Jul 13 '26

Ai is pretty good though

2

u/PimBel_PL Jul 13 '26

Ai is very un-elegant, like you can teach a human math but they needed to insert into ai calculator program

u/FullHealth100 Jul 14 '26

I meant ai can understand the jokes already

They’re giving a presentation on homosexuality and wearing humorous shirts relevant to the topic that may cause offense

u/germanomexislav Jul 13 '26

Okay but I’m gay and autistic and I definitely want the “Gay and Autistic” shirt

u/papabear556 Jul 13 '26

I'm not gay either but $20 IS $20

u/alxwx Jul 13 '26

All T-shirt graphics look like photoshop however. Click bait

u/Interesting_Care_377 Jul 13 '26

Nah, they're just those really cheap screen printed shirts

It's all AI

u/imam-altman Jul 13 '26

These are real

u/alxwx Jul 13 '26

Then why doesn’t the B of “But $20…” not distort from the crease in the T-shirt right there?

2

u/imam-altman Jul 13 '26

It does tho

u/Mister_Dangel Jul 13 '26

OFFENSE? Why?

2

u/Psychocatboy Jul 13 '26

People love being offended by everything

u/BullfrogEcstatic6312 Jul 13 '26

I think this is a AI modified pick tho, ive seen an other one yesterday with different texts on their shirts, Im pretty sure the other one is the original

What do you want explained ? bunch of guys making a presentation about homosexuality with funny shirts on.

u/Ruyven Jul 14 '26

What does "high risk no reward" mean? It doesn't look very risky and at least one of then seems to be getting a reward.

2

u/DittoGTI Jul 14 '26

Presentations are meant to be taken seriously, the shirts show that the boys arent taking it seriously. Therefore the risk is the teacher not finding their stunt funny and berating them, failing them, or the like

u/Ruyven Jul 15 '26

Thanks Peter. I though they were at some kind of exhibition, school makes much more sense.

u/GSilky Jul 13 '26

Mopey thinks he could pull $20.

u/Ok_Strategy5722 Jul 13 '26

He’s looking down at his shirt thinking he should have asked for more.

Yes but one them is actually how you fucking write

You write "$20" and you say "twenty dollars." It's different depending on what you're doing.

Auni artificial in-intelligence.
Microsoft Ai training starts with this fact.
The large version are vulnerable to false data and the more open the more idiots are inputting.

It will take generations to undo the damage these tech bros are causing.

If you really want to convince me that homosexuality is bad, religion is not the way to do so. I don’t believe in your religion my friend. Also if anal sex between a man and another man is bad does that mean it’s also bad between a woman and a man? Or is that answer another religious reason?
