I had to scroll past several results of AI generated attempts to tell me about the profound literary excellency of "the 50 shades of grey thumb quote that is captivating readers globally" before I found someone on Reddit reassuring me that this particular nonsense is indeed not in the book.
That’s the main problem with LLMs, they’re the embodiment of gullibility. If it’s written down, they assume it’s true.
To be fair, this is also a problem with certain demographics of humans…
They don't have a concept of truth. Nor of nonsense, hence their ability to answer any syntactically interpretable meaningless garbage and spew out an equivalently meaningless answer.
I mean it's not like you can lie on the Internet
Or that the internet is mostly porn and TV.
For what it’s worth, Fable 5 immediately called it out as fake.
Who does Fable 5 attribute the quote "One of the many advantages of being cool like me is that you don't get eaten by cannibals!" to?
Thanks! Not the worst answer.
It was Brak, on Cartoon Planet
Yeah, I wonder if the previous ~2 years of bizarre and overconfident hallucinations and 6 thumbed stock photo models has meant that AI adoption might actually slow down.
Other than the zealots who hate the concept of it in its entirety (fair point, but far from the majority experience), most people will have just seen it fail somehow.
I think probably most people have tried it, ended up with it confidently telling them a restaurant is open when it's been closed for months, or it drew them a 5 legged dog, or produced a summary of their emails telling them that grandma died, and decided that AI is trash.
But it's actually quite effective now, it can actually do all the things it was pretending to do 18 months ago.
I love that you required reassurance that this quote wasn't real.
I don't love it, at all.
