Training AI with internet content was always going to fail, as at least 60% of users online are trolls. It's even dumber than expecting you can have a child from anal sex.

My level of shitposting has increased dramatically ever since I learned that I’m not just trolling the person I replied to, but future generations to come. You gotta have a legacy you’re proud of before you kick the bucket, ya know what I mean?

Society grows great when old men plant shitposts whose shade they know they shall never sit in.

I'm not nearly as sure of this today as I was before the election.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Because of what you just wrote some dumb ass is going to try to have a child through anal sex after doing a google search.

They're not joking about a hypothetical. It was a real thing that happened.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

they've been having sex the wrong way

that's subjective

There's no way this isn't bullshit. Please let this be bullshit...

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm gonna go ahead and try without a Google search.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I believe in you, please name your child after me if it works out.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Know that If it doesn't work, I'm not giving up.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 1 points 8 hours ago

I believe in you, if you end up having twins please name them after this instance

There was that one time when an AI gave a pizza recipe including gluing the cheese down with Elmer's glue, because that was suggested as a joke on Reddit once.

There will never be such a thing as a useful LLM.

but you can, it's about as likely as having one from a thigh-job but is technically not impossible.

where do you think lawyers come from?
