This is a great example - it kinda makes sense if you skim read it but butterflies have nothing to do with butter, just like hotdogs have nothing to do with dogs.

FiveSixElevenSeventeen downvotes and counting...

LLMs are already being used for policy making, business decisions, software creation and the like. The issue is bigger than summarisers, and "hallucinations" are a real problem when they lead to real decisions and real consequences.

If you can't imagine why this is bad, maybe read some Kafka or watch some Black Mirror.

My friends would probably say something like "I've never heard that one, but I guess it means something like ..."

The problem is, these LLMs don't give any indication when they're making stuff up versus when repeating an incontrovertible truth. Lots of people don't understand the limitations of things like Google's AI summary so they will trust these false answers. Harmless here, but often not.

I'm not counting the little disclaimer because we've been taught to ignore smallprint from being faced with so much of it

I found that trying "some-nonsense-phrase meaning" won't always trigger the idiom interpretation, but you can often change it to something more saying-like.

I also found that trying in incognito mode had better results, so perhaps it's also affected by your settings. Maybe it's regional as well, or based on your search result. And, as AI's non-deterministic, you can't expect it to always work.

I didn't think it sounded anything like him and then saw that it was Brent Spiner's voice.

Everyone complained about the nonsensical AI version, so now we have a sane version to share. This is a good thing.

I had "install Linkwarden" on my todo list; Hoarder/Karakeep seems very similar, does anyone have opinions on which is better?

Not your post, either ;) We're c/selfhosted around these parts.

For the first few words I thought it was in Klingon.

Maybe it's like a yellow card and they've been booked.

I think it's more that using tho instead of though is quite casual, but then you use thusly, which is rather formal. The change of register is surprising/funny.

Like if someone wrote "Indeed, it is most unexpected lol".

It feel like so long since I've seen someone use this template correctly, so you've got that going for you 👍

I still rememberb the Palm Pilot input alphabet - every letter is represented by a single stroke and it was fast-enough and very accurate.

I've never known how to pronounce it... Arr ziːv? Arr shɪv?

Edit: that'll teach me to not comment before reading:

it’s pronounced like “archive”

They always used to break for us, and we'd have to go back to the trusty Competition Pro:

Not that it couldn't be faked, but here's the bug report with screenshot: https://forum.cursor.com/t/cursor-told-me-i-should-learn-coding-instead-of-asking-it-to-generate-it-limit-of-800-locs/61132

So they rewrote Nepenthes (or Iocaine, Spigot, Django-llm-poison, Quixotic, Konterfai, Caddy-defender, plus inevitably some Rust versions)

Edit, but with ✨AI✨ and apparently only true facts

It looks like there was a text box bottom-left that was cropped out, but I think it's funnier without it.

What's the name of the book?
