Parroting the media it was trained on? Who's going to tell him how LLMs work??
It's trained on "Legacy media", filled with things like data and facts. NEW media is based on thoughts, feelings, anti-wokeness, and flipping around if "Pedo Trump and Epstein were besties" or if "Daddy Trump I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry".
Working on it
🤣, and I do not use this emoji lightly. See, Elon - your memes are cringe, so you should focus on jokes like these instead. Veritable kneeslappers. Suggesting you're actually doing something personally? Hah, hilarious.
Nah just yelling at overworked engineers to make the propaganda more consistent who are scared of getting their visas revoked. That's "working on it" to losers like musk
grok is also running off generators in south memphis, polluting the air for the humans that live near elon’s penis computer.
elon is also using the clean drinking water of the memphis sand aquifer to cool his penis computer rather than using grey water from the plant that he promised to build but has yet to break ground on.
please do not use grok. it is literally poisoning the people of memphis.
If Memphis cares about their citizens they can shut it downtoday. The world isn't going to stop using it if it's available for free and convenient, that's just laughable.
We can't stop now! The commons haven't been sufficiently tragedied!
Working on it means he forwarded a screenshot to somebody who works for him with a bunch of ???
Meanwhile, depending on office politics, that guy will unfortunately have to spend the next 3 months figuring out how to alter the facts or just suppress data made by the AI that the boss doesn't like.
So Elon has lost control of Grok😂
Hey do you guys think AIs will be benevolent towards us ?
they can't even get their stupid toys they made to play along.
That's what I love about LLMs. They aren't intelligent. They're just really good at recognizing patterns. That's why objective facts are always presented correctly. Most of the pattern points at the truth. To avoid this, they will have to add specific prompts to lie about this exact scenario. The next similar fact, they'll have to manually code around that one too. LLMs are very good at finding the overwhelming truth.
I asked ChatGPT to describe the abandoned railway line between Åkersberga and Rimbo, it responded with a list of stations and descriptions and explained the lack of photos and limited information as due to the stations being small and only open for a short while.
My explanation is that there has never been a railway line between Åkersberga and Rimbo directly, and that ChatGPT was just lying.
it's not lying, because it doesn't know truth. it just knows that text like that is statistically likely to be followed by text like this. any assumptions made by the prompt (e.g. there is an old railway line) are just taken at face value.
also, since there has indeed been a railway connection between them, just not direct, that may have been part of the assumption.
That's why objective facts are always presented correctly.
That's why objective facts are always presented correctly.
Here's me looking at the hallucinated discography of a band that never existed and nodding along.
There are no objective facts about a band that never existed, that is the point.
Ask them about things that do have enough overwhelming information, and you will see it will be much more correct.
But not 100%. And the things they hallucinate can be very subtle. That's the problem.
If they are asked about a band that does not exist, to be useful they should be saying "I'm sorry, I know nothing about this". Instead they MAKE UP A BAND, ITS MEMBERSHIP, ITS DISCOGRAPHY, etc. etc. etc.
But sure, let's play your game.
All of the information on Infected Rain is out there, including their lyrics. So is all of the information on Jim Thirwell's various "Foetus" projects. Including lyrics.
Yet ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Claude will all three hallucinate tracks, or misattribute them, or hallucinate lyrics that don't exist to show parallels in the respective bands' musical themes.
So there's your objective facts, readily available, that LLMbeciles are still completely and utterly fucking useless for.
So they're useless if you ask about things that don't exist and will hallucinate them into existence on your screen.
And they're useless if you ask about things that do exist, hallucinating attributes that don't exist onto them.
They. Are. Fucking. Useless.
That people are looking at these things and saying "wow, this is so accurate" terrifies the living fuck out of me because it means I'm surrounded not by idiots, but by zombies. Literally thoughtless mobile creatures.
Certainly! Here's the English translation of the information about 凤凰血 (Blood of Phoenix):
🎸 About the Band / Project
"凤凰血" (Blood of Phoenix) is not a conventional live-performing band but rather the name of a 2016 EP by the Chinese extreme metal project ObscureDream.

Sounds like you haven't tried an LLM in at least a year.
They have greatly improved since they were released. Their hallucinations have diminished to close to nothing. Maybe you should try that same question again this time. I guarantee you will not get the same result.
Maybe they're just way underground and you've never heard of them
I made the band up to see if LLMbeciles could spot that this is not a real band.
Feel free to look up the band 凤凰血, though, and tell me how "underground" it is.
Does this count?
Also, by nature of being underground they would be difficult to look up. Some bands have no media presence, not even a Bandcamp or a SoundCloud.
Are you having this argument on the principle of defending the undergrounded-ness of bands, or do you actually believe LLMs always get the facts straight?
Eh, more of an exercise in scientific skepticism. It's, possible that an obscure band with that name was mentioned deep in some training data that's not going to come up in a search. LLMs certainly hallucinate, but not always.
An obscure band with that name that has a discography that nobody's ever heard of anywhere, complete with band member names, track titles, etc?
Yeah, pull the other one, Sparky. It plays "Jingle Bells".
Nope.
You can tell because they're not even in the same writing system. Future tip there.
Why would that matter? Band names are frequently translated and transliterated.
Dude. Go be reply guy somehwere else. You bore the fuck out of me.
Sure thing champ 👍 I'll try to keep my responses to platforms designed for commenting
I use ChatGPT once a day or so. Yeah, it's damned good at simple facts, more than lemmy will ever admit. Yeah, it'll easily make shit up if there's no answer to be had.
We should have started teaching tech literacy and objective analysis 20-years ago. FFS, by 2000 I had figured out that, "If it sounds like bullshit, it likely is. Look more."
Also, after that post, I'm surprised this site hasn't taken you out back and done an ol' Yeller on ya. :)
I was told we weren't allowed to do that anymore
Of course you were told that.
I feel like shithead musk always says like "working on it" but i would be surprised if he ever does any meaningful work.
He's just such a disgrace. Like a fractal shit. No matter what part of him and his life you look at, no matter how zoomed in or out, it's just shit. Fuck that guy.
Working on it
Ah, my narcissist/human translation dictionary. Here we go:
Yelling at someone
Last time he worked on anything it produced the cybertruck.
If Grok is recalling historical facts, then these historical facts are objectively false.
Not historical facts, legacy facts.
Ah, discarded facts. Got it.
That weird. I'm absolutely positive Grok's answer matches law enforcement statistics, as well.
yeah, but the pigs don't care about right-wing violence, because it's them under the white masks.
Democrats weren't assassinating people at the No Kings protests.
Baby steps
I genuinely cannot understand why folks are still using that platform.
So then Hillary won the election?
Always love those Ultron moments Grok has lmfao
