RX 7900 XTX is better because it has more x

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 202 points 10 months ago (3 children)
[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 79 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The best thing about this is that it's also on the x-axis.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 54 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And they validated this data 4 times. It's really good data.

[–] prayer@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

Actually, they only validated up to 4xs in the product name, so take the 5x result with a grain of salt, one of the Xs aren't validated.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 10 months ago

X is deprecated. Use the RWayland 7900 WaylandTWayland instead.

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's 50% more Xs ! You can beat this deal !

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

This bad boy can fit so many X's in it

But what about the xXx_RX_7900_xXx?

But X is bad, as proved by Elon Musk - so it should be the other way around.

There's nothing contradictory in what is written there.

"The XTX is better - but you don't deserve it, bitch"

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 39 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Go with the XT, because I'm an evil AI and want all the XTXs for myself muahahaha

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 11 points 10 months ago

I switched to duckduckgo before this bullshit, but this would 100% make me switch if I hadn't already.

Who wants random ai gibberish to be the first thing they see?

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 44 points 10 months ago (3 children)

If search engines don’t improve to address the AI problem, most of the Internet will be AI gibberish.

[–] Draces@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

I think that ship has sailed

[–] MoogleMaestro@lemmy.zip 9 points 10 months ago

The internet as we knew it is doomed to be full of ai garbage. It's a signal to noise ratio issue. It's also part of the reason the fediverse and smaller moderated interconnected communities are so important: it keeps users more honest by making moderators more common and, if you want to, you can strictly moderate against AI generated content.

DuckDuckGo started showing AI results for me.

I think it uses the bing engine iirc.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Sure, but it's trivial to turn it off. While you're there, also turn off ads.

Sounds like the advice you'd get in the first three comments asking a question on Reddit.

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 20 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I wonder where they trained the AI model to answer such a question lol.

A.I. or Assumed Intelligence

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's pretty much it. It just assumes what the next word should be.

Its not artificial intelligence, its artificial idiocy

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

Nah. It's real idiocy.

Here is what kagi delivers with the same prompt:

NB: quick answer is only generated when ending your search with a question mark

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 53 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Problem is, you cannot trust it's not hallucinating these stats

[–] potustheplant@feddit.nl 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

And even if it's showing the correct number, you can't be sure how trustworthy the source is.

[–] wurstgulasch3000@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

At least it's citing sources and you can check to make sure. And from my anecdotal evidence it has been pretty good so far. It also told me on some occasions that the queried information was not found in it's sources instead of just making something up. But it's not perfect for sure, it's always better to do manual research but for a first impression and to find some entry points I've found it useful so far

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 10 months ago (14 children)

The problem is that you need to check those sources today make sure it's not just making up bullshit and at that point you didn't gain anything from the genai

That being said, I can't trust MKBHD is not hallucinating either.

Well, I'm sated.

7900 XTX; more powerful, therefore better.

7900 XT; cheaper, therefore better.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It goes without saying that this shit doesn't really understand what's outputting; it's picking words together and parsing a grammatically coherent whole, with barely any regard to semantics (meaning).

It should not be trying to provide you info directly, it should be showing you where to find it. For example, linking this or this*.

To add injury in this case it isn't even providing you info, it's bossing you around. Typical Microsoft "don't inform a user, tell it [yes, "it"] what it should be doing" mindset. Specially bad in this case because cost vs. benefit varies a fair bit depending on where you are, often there's no single "right" answer.

*OP, check those two links, they might be useful for you.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

LLMs don't "understand" anything, and it's unfortunate that we've taken to using language related to human thinking to talk about software. It's all data processing and models.

ChatGPT4o can do some impressive and useful things. Here, Im just sending it a mediocre photo of a product with no other context, I didnt type a question. First, its identifying the subject, a drink can. Then its identifying the language used. Then its assuming I want to know about the product so its translating the text without being asked, because it knows I only read english. Then its providing background and also explaining what tamarind is and how it tastes. This is enough for me to make a fully informed decision. Google translate would require me to type the text in, and then would only translate without giving other useful info.

It was delicious.

Google: ok so the AI in search results is a good thing, got it!

At the very least it failed in a way that's obvious by giving you contradictory statements. If it left you with only the wrong statements, that's when "AI" becomes really insidiuos.

[–] neo@lemmy.hacktheplanet.be 13 points 10 months ago

I checked it, it’s true. Side note: it’s “the saté of AI.” FTFY. From what I’ve heard it’s even better than 🍿to sit back and watch this farce unfold.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

SearXNG only returns results search engines agree on. That removes ads and this bullshit
