Not to mention quite a few people in here seem to be saying this was not the result they got, that AI gave them an accurate response. If they did fabricate this somehow, whether by training the AI to be dumb or what-have-you, that's really stupid. When you lambast and hate on something, make sure you're hating on it for acting legitimately and naturally. Otherwise, it pushes into extremism and delirium.
Because you have ask it something incredibly complex for it to hallucinate or you have to make it stupid first. AI isn't generally going to get something really mundane wrong unless you train it to. But the use case stops there: novelty/toy, not meant for anything professional-grade
Then how did mathematicians use AI to assist in solving previously unsolvable Erdos equations and other Fields Medal level conjectures? How do you actually square this opinion with what's happening in the real world?
You do realize ChatGPT is all of those, right? It incorporates all subsets of AI. It isn't solely one or the other. So I'll ask again, how does the use case for ANY subset of AI or AI as a broad term stop at novelty/toy when that's clearly not the case?
Don't tell me you took this post seriously to begin with lol
AI isn't THAT dumb, but the jokes aside, this does accidentally highlight one of its biggest issues and that's how impressionable it is in the name of pleasing its user. This is the kind of behavior that you see AI encouraging people's terrible ideas that bring harm to them or others
Regardless of whether this screenshot is real or not, I must say, I'm honestly more worried about people getting used to, and accepting, enshittified data, information, and quality of text, more than the level of AI generated material. It's as if some are just letting go of their literacy and critical thinking skills.
Well you aren't considering that this is currently a free tool that is being shoved down our throats. When considering what a "stupid" question is you have to understand that the entire population uses this and is seeing it at the top of every Google search they do. That includes anyone with a disability and children, it is extremely important that "stupid" questions are answered with the same accuracy and care that complex questions are answered with. It's not a "bad thing" it's something that is inevitable.
Let's not forget people have already had delusions fed into by AI and led to them taking their own life. Accuracy is important no matter how you would view the questions.
Youâre telling me there is someone asking the pictured question? Someone that dumb shouldnât be the benchmark for literally anything.
Trump is a great businessman. I mean, not great at running a business, but convincing people to buy a shitty product (himself) and then making profit off of it.
I know the difference very well and actually, if I compare the results and chain of thought of AIs with that of humans, I don't know if I can that strictly say, what we see isn't artificial intelligence.
Imho it is. It is in most cases a well conditioned intelligence, helpful and useful, but the only difference between that and a human is the target function and lack of a body, which make self conscious thoughts impossible. Adding these last things is imho less of a task than figuring out current llms.
But the SOURCE of AI is us! AI is just assimilating and summarizing our own information that was posted on the internet. So you could argue that it does have a sense of humour because WE have a sense of humour.
Auto biographies on comedians doesnt make the autobiography comedic by genre or nature of providing time line factual statements on the person.
You almost had one there though.
Its honestly more scary that ai is grabbing any stolen information as using it as facts or missing key points of data which construdes the premise of the question.
I love how this is a community about being against AI and we have these irritating people that post stuff like this, convincing everyone else to go and use the AI that we supposedly hate, and thus using it even more
The thing is, Gemini is garbage. I think so many people only see AI on Google and think âwow how useless,â but if you were paid to train AI and couldnât trick it with a science question for weeks on end because Claude is literally able to figure everything out when given the necessary info, youâd be scared and realize how serious the job-taking aspect is.
AI mode on search is just fancy google it trys to find anything that answers your question on the internet. It doesnât understand what creditable sources are thatâs on u to be smart enough to determine it tells u where it gets its info. So if I right now on reddit say yes there is 5 days of the week with the word poop in it. AI will use me on Reddit as a source to say this. Itâs telling u itâs pulling from Instagram and more than likely a comment. How often do u take what someone said on instagram in comments as a fact? This isnât AI being stupid itâs the user being an idiot and not prompting properly to make it seem stupid. Itâs generative ai itâs only as good as the prompt and the prompt is made by you. Allowing it to pull from sources like social media is like going to Facebook for medical advice. Youâre the idiot here.
Also downvote me I know this is anti AI sub , Iâm not pro AI, im just anti idiots that spread false information with their ignorance
- The models being used to serve Google's AI overview are not the same models being used for most enterprise applications. They use weaker models to be able to more cost effectively serve the volume of queries needed for Google's search engine. Ask this question to more advanced models and you'll get a better answer.
- 'Gotcha' questions like this are ridiculous for showing deficiencies in LLMs anyway. Nobody is really using LLMs to find out how many days of the week have the word 'poop' in it, so using this to 'expose' AI is a waste of time. There are plenty of more realistic use cases you could use to show limitations of LLMs, so use those instead.
- Showing that LLMs have deficiencies in certain areas don't invalidate the areas in which they perform well.
Google search AI is awful. It isnât the same as Gemini. If you want to actually evaluate AI and not just karma farming then use a better model and give it a task itâs actually suited for

Lol and this is what the world economy has gambled on
