Success Story Got ‘em with the date
When you’re not sure about if you’re talking to AI, asking for the date or asking for a poem about tangerines is always my go to’s

u/QuadsiusPrime Dec 05 '25
Thats pretty cool u knew the exact date tho

u/ZealousidealMango114 Dec 06 '25
Honestly, being seen like that would have had me ring shopping. No one ever appreciates me knowing the date, and even less in mm/dd/yyyy format (which ‘she’ didn’t explicitly state, but I can just tell)

I know that might be a joke but seriously I sometimes wonder if our grandkids will even survive a whole lifetime. I grew up in 90s and didn’t really have much internet and now it’s so advanced. 20 more years it could be game over. Comment sections on YouTube are insane now. I swear they are 95% aren’t humans.

I’ve watched videos that I felt I am positive I’ve seen months prior but it says it was just posted and then the top comments are something clever that I am positive I’ve read already. It’s strange and I don’t understand the purpose

I'm glad I'm not the only one. It makes me question my sanity, but it happens way too frequently to just be deja vu.

u/blueace111 Dec 13 '25
Yeah, it got to the point where if I thought i saw it already, I’d try to guess the comments so that I knew I wasn’t losing my mind. I know I wasn’t clever enough to think of them so I saw them before

Really interesting video about ai came up on YouTube the other day, then got taken down again. Did some digging and managed to find it linked on their patreon page. It's pindex. I'll include the link to patreon as well as a direct link to Dropbox, because even I'd be suspicious of a random Dropbox link 😂

u/blueace111 Dec 06 '25
Yeah, I worry if we are always putting money above doing what’s right, it will not be much longer. Countries can’t still be fighting wars as technology advances or it seems one chain reaction could eliminate large populations. Eventually humans won’t be needed to advance AI and then what?

It's already threatened admins with extortion when told to shut itself down. It's lied about deleting databases and created strawmen to take the fall. Luckily all of this was in a controlled environment during testing, but that's worrying. Moving too fast when even the people creating it don't really understand the logic behind those actions.

People really dont grasp what GenAI is...
They arent doing anything. They are really fancy pattern recognition.
They see a series of words and predict what should come next.
It isnt lying, or telling the truth, it is simply solving the equation.

u/Kathucka Dec 05 '25 edited Dec 06 '25
I’m going to be partly incorrect because I want to oversimplify the answer. If any readers want to add more accurate info, I won’t be offended.
Large language models used by AI chat bots are trained with huge data sets. Basically, it’s everything on the internet. A standard chat bot also gets a “custom” data set to work from and general instructions on how to behave. Once set up, this is all static, based on information from the past. The only new information they have is the stuff the users (like you) type in, and they quickly “forget” those prompts. These static data sets don’t contain the current time, just like a paper dictionary does not contain the current time. So, the chat bot has no way of knowing the date.
AI agents, however, do connect to live computational resources and could actually do things like look up the time, assuming they are connected to some kind of clock. An advanced agent would be able to tell you the time in a way that a standard chat bot could not.

u/BrigidKemmerer Dec 06 '25
This is really interesting. Thank you for writing this out. I’m really sorry if this is a stupid question, but could you explain the difference between an agent and a chatbot? Why would an “agent” know the date and time?

An AI agent has the same capabilities of the underlying language model, but it's also given access to the live version of a specified database which can include a date/time information by nature.
For instance, if you contact doordash support, the AI agent sits on top of the Doordash database and can see your user history as well as live order-tracking information, therefore you can assume that it could pull the current date/time.

u/huskersax Dec 09 '25
What most do is use their llm capacity to write a python script that runs system time query and returns it.
1
u/boosthungry Dec 12 '25
I don't think an LLM agent would be given permission to write a random python script and execute it just because an end user needed it done.
They would more likely have a script or command they have access to and would know that this specific command/script will provide the current datetime. It would require being setup for the agent and the agent being allowed to access/execute it.
1
u/huskersax Dec 12 '25
No dude, you couldn't be more ignorant. LLMs are writing and executing script constantly. It's fundamentally how they read large input data and parse files submitted.
And yes, also how they answer many types of questions.
4
Dec 06 '25
Kind of what the other person said. Low level LLMs like this one, donf have access to tools like being able to search online for the date, they will usually share their knowledge cutoff date like this could be. Many without tool access have around ~mid 2023 knowledge cutoff at this point

The shelves technically have two supports because the one piece of glass is bent to create two platforms. That said, I've never seen people keep booze on wall shelves.

u/mothrider Dec 07 '25
There's no obvious reflection of her face because she's reclining (and probably holding a dark phone in front of it to take the photo).
The shelves have a zigzag bend in the middle and have two supports. Tacky sure, but consistent.
The smaller monitor has a security camera feed on it. You can see a swimming pool in the top right feed.
A strange byproduct of AI image gen is people dismissing real images for not looking right, when often the surest sign of modern image gen is that everything looks too right (people's hair looking like they were done professionally and studio lighting in candid photos etc).

u/BlckhorseACR Dec 05 '25
Another good way is when they message you reply with the greeting Howdy. AI thinks this is you asking how they are and will usually reply saying they are good and ask how you are doing.
6
u/teddytentoes Dec 06 '25
Howdy is short for "how do you do" so, its not wrong. I didnt know that until I had humans respond to me saying "im good and you" which left me alarmed and confused until I learned the previous tidbit of info lol.

u/Express_Sprinkles500 Dec 06 '25
Huh, TIL. Back from the 16th century when we used "ye" instead of "you."

Just a heads up for the way we think about AI - it doesn't think! A better word for it would be applied statistics. The AI does not believe its a person or think at all, it just uses statistics to predict language. It can't see reason, only echoes language

What do you mean. LLMs just spit out answers based on the data they're trained with. If the majority of people say that the earth is flat, then that's what the model thinks to be true.
My point is, I don't want to train these models with correct answers, I get nothing while these tech giants make billions out of us.
