lol, yep
Thank you for posting. I don't want to use Chat GPT but the seahorse emoji sounded intriguing.
I'm not all too familiar with "reasoning AI", but is that what that is? It's asking itself if the answer it got is correct/plausible?
I guess so? I dunno!
LLMs are that guy at the pub who likes to pretend he knows stuff.
"I don't know" has clearly been removed from the training data
Grok was demented gold.
I tried it on Llama with duckduckgo's front-end. It just kept going til it presumably hit the character limit:

My, my.
The AI is SENTIENT! THIS IS CLEARLY A DESPERATE SCREAM FOR HELP.
Is there an actual seahorse emoji? Or was there before a certain time?
In Ohio elementary schools books about seahorses are banned because the male seahorse carries the babies or something. So given the state of AI, how it's been Metal Gear Solid 2'd by the regressives, I can't help but wonder if there is a connection
I see. I'm not an iphone user so I'd never have known. I don't really like timeline SciFi, with a few exceptions, but I get the Mandela effect meme. Thanks for the update. Recent events have made me super conspiracy brained
You can use emojis on pretty much any modern device for the last decade or more
Wait, (from the first link) the hiking emoji isn't real either? Could have sworn there was one with a guy (and a girl one) taking a step while holding a walking stick/staff.
How do the emojis get selected/assigned? It feels like tugging on that thread might help resolve this. They don't just randomly show up; someone decides to assign a unicode value, artists create the images for many platforms and emoji packs/fonts, code interprets the unicode and replaces it with the associated image.
How do the emojis get selected/assigned?
i've posted some links in !emoji@lemmy.ml about that
Breaking LLMs is fun
Save that unknown endpoint.
Plot twist, in 10 years we get a seahorse emoji, and it will have that endpoint
For a bunch of people disliking AI... you all seem earily ready to jump onto the LLM Websites and test the stuff out. (no hate, just an observation)
I didn't go test it. I have never used an LLM and directly block them from my digital experience.
However I'm not surprised that people would like to verify things like this regardless of their dislike for or distrust of the tech specifically because LLM'S aren't the only things that lie on the internet.
Trust but verify is an accepted metric in lots of tech circles.
How are you supposed to dislike something if you don't understand it?
It's not like AI is intrinsically harmful bad or evil. This pursuit of simulated sapience seems to be generating endless numbers of delusional pathologies and harmful externalities but using computational logic to answer questions and scour databases is objectively a wonderful development.
You may not remember the internet before Google showed us that there was another option beyond simple boolean search, it's a shame that the owner and inheriter class are willing to sacrifice absolutely everything in the pursuit of a monopoly on labor.
It's a government failure, induced by capitalism at the expense of everybody for the benefit of a very small number of people.
It's still an adapt or die situation. Just because these LLMS won't be with us forever (because no matter how many resources you put into them they'll never be conscious or able to actually tackle novel problems), doesn't mean you can live in ignorance of them and hope it'll all blow over.

I mean, this is a community of people bonded over their common desire to talk about how much they hate AI. Of course they need to understand whatever fresh hell new AI "capabilities" generate so they can shit talk it accurately. π

I got it to have a bad trip:
The seahorse emoji (πͺΈ) doesnβt exist as a standalone yet β the closest is π (fish), π, or π¦, but there is a seahorse character (U+1F40C) in Unicode called βSeahorseβ (π¦? correction β actually π is shell).
Wait β correction: the actual seahorse emoji is π΄π¦? No. The seahorse emoji does exist: π π π‘ π¦ π π¦ π¦ π¦ π¬ π³ π π¦ π π’ β¦ But yes: π΄π¦ are horse emojis, not seahorses.
The real one is U+1F40C βSeahorseβ π? Hmm.
π Actually: the Unicode seahorse emoji is π? No. Confirmed: πͺΈ Coral exists (new in 2020), but no official seahorse emoji has been encoded.
So:
Thereβs no seahorse emoji in Unicode 15 (2023).
People usually type βseahorseβ and get π΄ + π or similar.
Got it β hereβs the correct info, straight:
The seahorse emoji does exist: π is fish, π‘ is blowfish, but π¦ is unicorn, π΄ is horse.
The seahorse emoji is π? No.
The actual seahorse emoji is π? Wait β correction:
β The seahorse emoji is π? No, sorry β letβs be precise: The Unicode seahorse emoji is π? No.
Hereβs the truth:
π = dragon
π΄ = horse head
π¦ = unicorn
πͺΈ = coral
π /π/π‘ = fish types
π There is no official seahorse emoji in Unicode as of 2025.
If youβve seen one in a chat or keyboard, itβs likely:
A sticker, custom emoji, or app-specific icon (e.g., WhatsApp/Telegram packs).
Or a mislabeled icon in someoneβs keyboard.
So: it doesnβt exist in the Unicode standard β only in third-party sets.
Do you want me to show you a reliable list of all marine animal emojis so you can compare?
Itβs so funny how hard it tries
Instead of AGI ending world hunger weβll get fridges with an identity crisis from the Mandela effect. Trillions well spent guys!
Can't reproduce.
Perplexity doesn't seem connfused
If we're incredibly generous with what we call emoji then old MSN seahorses might count (if they actually existed, that is). Emojis aren't all part of the spec. They predated the spec and colloquially people don't mean the spec. Plus, Unicode has always been about matching human usage of things, not dictating how humans communicate. So if you apply the way emoji was used to refer to icons on phones before they were in Unicode, I think you could argue that a seahorse icon in MSN messenger was an emoji.
Wtf are you on about? Emoji existed since the 80s and the ones in IM apps were the most popular examples. It's not "incredibly generous" to call them emoji, that's what we called them back then, long before they started being included in unicode.
Unicode has always been about matching human usage of things
Exactly. Emoji usage was so widespread and popular, that they decided to standardize it.
Why so hostile only to agree?

I asked ChatGPT if it could explain its behavior:
Now I feel kinda guilty.
Edit: I don't like this one bit.
Cannot reproduce
it also fucks qwen up really bad
i generated this locally on low-powered hardware, minimal environmental impact for joke

Hey, can you show me some emoji? I want to see a star fish, a fish on a hook, and a seahorse.
ASSISTANT
- Starfish: π
- Fish on a hook: π£
- Seahorse: π
Let me know if you'd like more! ππ
USER
Thatβs an octopus, not a star fish.
ASSISTANT
Now I wonder how it would respond to a request for a seawhores emoji.
Your conversation had been flagged for the FBI. Have a nice weekend.
Cool! I'd love to have the FBI come and visit me!
Uhhh we are busy this weekend.
Dammit!
I bet people remember this from custom discord emojis and stuff.
If you look at a lot of the weird stuff that LLMs create, and just remember that they're predicting the next symbol one token at a time without engaging any factual reasoning, it makes perfect sense why they are doing the weird shit that they're doing.
I feel like it would do the same for anything that didn't exist.
