As usual, Amazon's search engine is perfecting the science of artificial stupidity.

#artificialstupidity

Some parts of the USA seem to be created to make us refrain from revolution by making our system seem better, by showing how the soi-disant greatest nation does things.

When people call for books to be excluded for breach of content rules, without specifying the passages causing the book to be excluded, and the officials don't do due diligence before using an expert system.

Actual conversation between me and google:

Me: find The Knotty Salon
Google: I'm sorry I can't find the Nazi Salon.
Me: find the KNOTTY Salon
Google: I'm sorry I can't find the naughty salon.
Me: find the k-n-o-t-t-y salon
Google: Oh! Found the Knotty Salon! Navigating! Make a U-Turn!

Recent #ArtificialStupidity exchange (courtesy claude.ai):
Me: "Can method x be used to forecast demand for y?"
AS: "Yes, and here are five examples..."
Me: "Can you provide citations?"
AS: (provides citations)
Me: "These references seem not to exist."
AS: "You're absolutely right, I apologize...it was irresponsible of me to make unsubstantiated claims..." etc...

I hope my mind never rots to the point that I use one of these suggested text responses. It wasn't surprising that Outlook started trying to complete every phrase with something more anodyne, trite and, yes, PREDICTABLE than anything I would hope to compose. But now Whatsapp is doing it — reading the incoming message and suggesting a response. #ArtificialStupidity

...Imagine in a year when you have fired everyone competent "to let AI do the base work" and the whole thing collapses like last year's Bored Ape collection...

...and you get to go on to complain that none of the people you fired wants to go back to work for you without a pay raise.

Me: What is the name of the fiction book where China builds its own stealth fighter, then uses it to attack Taiwan?
AI: Might be "The hunt for Red October"
Me: Why are you suggesting a book about a submarine, if I asked about a stealth fighter?
AI: Maybe I misunderstood the question. But "The hunt for Red October"...
Me: FUCKING SERIOUSLY?!

#AI is dumb #ArtificialStupidity

PS: what's the book though? I forgot. #askfedi

The "Preceded by" and "Majority" refer to his House of Commons electorate, not the nation...

Inspired by MKBHD, i think we should all label instances where "AI" makes mistakes as #ArtificialStupidity #AI

Frankly, I'm more annoyed by the dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks chatbots used as customer interfaces than by large language models faking photos and student essays. #artificialstupidity

Hey Mastodon! I have a fun idea! Let's create a ChatGPT roast where we feed it terrible data and watch it struggle to generate usefully wrong responses. It's like a digital version of the Hunger Games, but instead of teenagers, it's an AI language model. Who's with me? #ChatGPT #DigitalRoast #ArtificialStupidity

Finally, someone agrees it is AS (#ArtificialStupidity). :)
The problem with artificial intelligence? It’s neither artificial nor intelligent
