    Most AI’s are really just digital dumbasses persuading people it’s not a fancy chatbot.

    I know there is a lot of hate for AI here but it has its uses.

    However. I still haven’t found a use for Gemini. What a massive steaming pile of shit llm google have cooked up. It is utterly useless gutter trash that nobody could possibly love.

    Pull your finger out google. What the fuck are you doing, you stupid pieces of dog shit?

      One of the features I thought it could be wicked useful for is printer clarity. When scanning or copying bad/old papers, hand written, etc. It could clean up, focus, or turn handwriting to print. That would actually be a good use for it IMO, ofc it’ll fuck shit up sometimes but it’ll probably be better than nothing at all

        My phone is starting to take better document pictures than my printer. Especially if I hold my phone steady at the right height. I bet if I used a 3D printer to create a stand to hold it for me. Heck I could buy a giant bucket or rack or whatever and bright high color index lights to further improve image clarity to ungodly levels. Still, the Samsung camera app with the AI features already being preloaded that will likely be improved in the next 5 years will just get better. Printers and scanners are completely a pita.

      Even Llama gives better results than Gemini. They’re just perpetually behind everyone else. It’s like they took GPT3 and tried to bolt one their search results, let someone forgot to make their search results not suck again for their own internal tool.

    I mean, if you’re googling that without even providing a model number, I can excuse the AI choosing to show it. It’s not a mind reader.

      Mods on c/politicalmemes took down a post I made saying that it was not a meme (spam was what they called it, it was not spam). When I pointed out that very few of the posts in that community are memes, they banned me.

      Anyway, be careful out there.

      Edit: “report abuse” was the reason they gave for banning me. But, it was me reporting a few things that were not memes, like was done to my post. Rather than evaluating whether the reported posts were memes or not, they went on a power trip. Anyway, no idea why the mods of c/politicalmemes follow me around Lemmy. I didn’t even tag them here, and they show up. Powertripping, I guess. But, my point stands, don’t report things for not being memes, only the mod decides what’s a meme, even if they do a poor job at it. And, if you draw attention to that, they’ll ban you and stalk you on Lemmy.

        Political Memes mod here. You had a post removed because it broke the rules of the community, which is not really a big deal at all… However, you chose to then get angry and report a bunch of other people’s posts that did not break the rules and therefore you were banned for report abuse- which IS a big deal.

        If you had simply just messaged one of us and pointed out where you thought you were wronged, I or any of the other mods would have had no problem hearing you out.

        Here is your modlog in the event that you have forgotten how things went down.

        Hope this helps!

        EDIT: okay, so we’re doing edits now? Okay. Let’s make an edit!

        So this is what they messaged me after their spam was removed:

        … and before I could even respond, they had already submitted multiple reports on posts that were all well within the rules- and relevant to the community. So they were slapped with a temporarily ban for report abuse, which- if you take a look around, is usually a permanent ban in many communities. We banned for one month.

        Yet now, cruising the comments of a post in a well known and popular community and coming across this nonsense accusation randomly- three months later after zero interaction with this person in the same amount of time- is apparently considered “stalking” and….

        “powertripping?”

        I’m sure it’s pretty clear to see what we were dealing with, as well as the reason for our actions.

      I’ve been able to reproduce some, like the “how to carry <insert anything here> across a river” one where it always turns it into the fox, goose and grain puzzle.

      But generally on anything that’s gone viral, by the time you try to reproduce it someone has already gone in and hard-coded a fix to prevent it from giving the same stupid answer going forward.

      Yeah, I never get these strange AI results.

      Except, the other day I wanted to convert some units and the AI results was having a fucking stroke for some reason. The numbers did not make sense at all. Never seen it do that before, but alas, I did not take a screenshot.

        Usually I’ll see something mild or something niche get wildly messed up.

        I think a few times I managed to get a query from a post in, but I think they are monitoring for viral bad queries and very quickly massage it one way or another to not provide the ridiculous answer. For example a fair amount of times the AI overview just would be seemingly disabled for queries I found in these sorts of posts.

        Also have to contend with the reality that people can trivially fake it and if the AI isn’t weird enough, they will inject a weirdness to get their content to be more interesting.

        Those LLMs can’t handle numbers, they have zero concept of what a number is. They can pull some definitions, they can sorta get very basic arithmetic to work in a limited domain based on syntax rules, but it will mess up most calculations. ChatGPT tries to work around it by recognizing the prompt is related to math, passing it to a more normal Wolfram-Alpha style algorithm, and then using the language model to format the reply into something more appealing, but even this approach often fails because if the AI gets confused for any reason it will feed moronic data to the maths algorithm.

            LLMs don’t verify their output is true. Math is something where verifying its truth is easy. Ask an LLM how many Rs in strawberry and it’s plain to see if the answer is correct or not. Ask an LLM for a summary of Columbian history and it’s not as apparent. Ask an LLM for a poem about a tomato and there really isn’t a wrong answer.

        The “sauce vs dressing” one worked for me when I first heard about it, but in the following days it refused to give an AI answer and now has a “reasonable” AI answer
