  • The results were wrong

    Yes… maybe I should have emphasized that the SEARCH results were wrong. And have you used Google lately? It forces the AI on you. You can’t turn that shit off. At least not easily.

    But yeah, apparently if I had asked Bing it seems that it would have gotten it. Who would’ve thought that Bing would now be better than Google? But even Bing forces Copilot on you.

    So please, oh master of internet searching, what search engine doesn’t force AI on you? I guess I could pretend it’s 1999 and use Lycos…


  • The argument of “just watch subs” falls flat when they’re using AI to do soulless subtitling too.

    Jesus fuck I hate AI so much. The other day Google AI literally gaslit me. I remembered a joke I had heard in a movie but couldn’t remember the movie title. Google used to be really good at this kinda thing so I Googled it. The results were wrong and the AI was like “It’s Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates”.

    Now, I’ve never seen Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates so I knew that couldn’t be the movie so I told it “no that’s not it”. And what did the AI do? Did it say “oh, well then maybe it’s this?” Did it say it didn’t know? No, it doubled down insisting it MUST be Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates.

    I COMMANDED it to stop suggesting it was Mike and Dave because it was definitely not it and it STILL kept saying that was the movie.

    So I asked ChatGPT. Yeah, I know it’s another AI but I was at my wits end here and Google was undeniably wrong. Anyway, ChatGPT figured it out instantly.

    So I went back to Google and was like, “ChatGPT figured it out. It was ‘The Art of Racing in the Rain’ you stupid AI.”

    Rather than admit it was wrong, Google then gaslit me saying I was misremembering the movie and that it was Mike and Dave Nerd Wedding Dates.

    I was furious so I told Google to prove it to me. Then it got all vague like" well, I searched my database and web records." I asked for the specific records. It gives mr the movie script for Mike and Dave. I do a simple word search and do not find the joke anywhere in the script.

    When I point this out to Google it was like" well, maybe it was adlibbed or not in that early version if the script, but it’s in discussions of the movie so I know I’m right."

    “Show me these discussions”

    “Sorry, there are no discussions”

    “So you hallucinated the whole thing and completely made it up?”

    “Yes”

    Fuck you, Google.



  • Alright, I did some Googling and asked ChatGPT for some help (this is really what stuff like ChatGPT is good for, not stealing art and writing bad novels). And even though ChatGPT was a f*cking moron initially suggesting things like NCC-1701 even though I specifically said it had to be XX-##, it finally came up with a decent list:

    MC-75 : The Mon Calimari Cruiser from Star Wars (There are also other MC cruisers like MC30, MC40, MC80, MC85, and MC95)

    EF76 : Nebulon-B Escort Frigate, also from Star Wars

    YF-19 : Prototype Macross fighter

    YF-21 : Macross Plus fighter

    VF-25 : Macross Frontier fighter

    A somewhat unique (albeit wrong) suggestion ChatGPT gave was BT-7274 from Titanfall 2… you could shorten it to BT-72. Following on the idea of droids I got:

    HK-47 : The loveable and homicidal assassination droid from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

    IG-11 : Another Assassin droid, tasked with killing Grogu in Mandalorian.

    Finally, one silly recommendation ChatGPT gave me was “SG-88” as a reference to Stargate and Back to the Future. I don’t hate it.
