    If you look at the reddit post it’s citing, it’s from r/shittysuperpowers. A subreddit where you come up with fake shitty super powers is now getting cited as truth by google

    And we thought boomers reading shit off Facebook was bad. Now they have AI feeding it to them.

      Google: You know those LLMs?

      Engineer: Yes, what about it?

      G: So I took one of those and I vomited diarrhea into its mouth-

      E: Wait, what?

    Well it had the most up votes! So clearly it was the most generally useful and true response in the whole thread!

      Because on Reddit (and here on Lemmy) people use up and downvotes exclusively to rate the quality of a post, not as a tool to show disapproval without having to be able to actually articulate why. I like when social interactions go exactly as intended - like in this case - and don’t devolve into two people arguing with silent mobs behind them.

      /s for everyone who’s as blind to sarcasm as this shitty AI from Google.

        Humor IS a quality though. Human voters are able, in aggregate, able to award certain types of humor. Which an LLM is not able to. Which gets recycled with no context, as fact.

        The internet would be a vastly different place if sarcasm and in jokes were not regarded as a type of “quality” content.

      Reddit already has /r/greentext, so it’s only a matter of time before Google tells you that you’re fake and gay.

    My new peak is the chance that I’ll see some comment I made on Reddit be famous in this way.

    As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.

        I wouldn’t sell it and give Reddit the pleasure of it ever logging in again. And it’s near OG age.

        Plus I probably doxxed myself to myself over the years.
