"Google Gemini tried to kill me"
"Google Gemini tried to kill me"
I followed these steps, but just so happened to check on my mason jar 3-4 days in and saw tiny carbonation bubbles rapidly rising throughout.
I thought that may just be part of the process but double checked with a Google search on day 7 (when there were no bubbles in the container at all).
Turns out I had just grew a botulism culture and garlic in olive oil specifically is a fairly common way to grow this bio-toxins.
Had I not checked on it 3-4 days in I'd have been none the wiser and would have Darwinned my entire family.
Prompt with care and never trust AI dear people...
I’ll see people responding to fucken lemmy comments with “i ran the question through gpt and...” like what the fuck?
It’s literally the same thing as saying “I asked some RANDOM dude and this is what he said. Also I have no reason to believe he’s even the slightest bit educated.”
If you really wanna just throw some fucking spaghetti at the wall, YOU CAN DO THAT WITHOUT AI.
This is coming from someone who hates google, but if this person’s entire family had died, I would put a LOT of that blame on them before google.

That would really put the "uh oh" in your spaghettios
Someone sell this commercial.
Spaghetti-O's! Pick up a can and feed your family, because AI might have told you to make botulism.

i have found I get .000000000006% less hallucination rate by throwing alphabet soup at the wall instead of spaghett, my preprint is on arXiV
I applaud your optimism that most people can do this without AI but have you gone and met people? Most people are not that capable of producing torrents of shameless bullshit as conscience or awareness of social and/or professional costs rear their head at some point.
If they can't do it themselves then they have no idea if the output is good. If they want to run it through the bullshit machine they shouldn't post the output unless they know it is accurate.
And once they realise it, lives will be saved.
YOU CAN DO THAT WITHOUT AI.
Can they, though? Sure, in theory Google could hire millions of people to write overviews that are equally idiotic, but obviously that is not something they would actually do.
I think there's an underlying ethical theory at play here, which goes something like: it is fine to fill internet with half-plagiarized nonsense, as long as nobody dies, or at least, as long as Google can't be culpable.

The millions of people writing overviews would definitely be more reliable, that's for sure. For one thing, they understand the concept of facts.
never trust AI
Statements from LLMs are to be seen as hallucinations unless proven otherwise by classic research.
We don't need a fancy word that makes it sound like AI is actually intelligent when talking about how AI is frequently wrong and unreliable. AI being wrong is like someone who misunderstood something or took a joke as literal repeating it as factual.
When people are wrong we don't call it hallucinating unless their senses are altered. AI doesn't have senses.
Yeah, LLM are accidentally right sometimes. But all they really do is pull words and phrases that it thinks statistically fit together.
Does everyone else see this? These are the exact type of out of town haters we really want. I also think calling LLMs all but delusional is too generous and I mean that unironically.
It's not a "fancy word" here, but a technical term. An AI making things up is actually called hallucination.
Hallucination thought does fit.
It’s a term in the context of a source that implies untrustworthy, not authoritative and/or imagined.
Lots of examples in every day usage or scenarios that come to mind.
“And then I saw the defendant punch the victim and then I was blinded by the sunlight”
Are you sure you didn’t hallucinate the entire episode? It was night after all.
Or
“Somebody please get these ants off of me”

headline is inaccurate and downplays the incredible potential of ai. Google Gemini tried to kill this person AND their entire family
mods can you please ban "david gerard" or whatever his name really is. ai hate is already out of hand without people coming to push their agenda like this
It’s slowly refining its approach. No-one went for the pizza glue or eating rocks, so…
Reddit still delivers sometimes.
damn gemini, better luck next time
Huh. I was making my own garlic oil this way (without advice from an LLM mind-you) and I was today years old when I learned this carries the risk of botulism (albeit small) , so in a way, an LLM has potentially saved my life by causing the chain of events which taught me something new.
