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.

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.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

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

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

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

they've been having sex the wrong way

that's subjective

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

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.

where do you think lawyers come from?

It's even dumber than expecting you can have a child from anal sex.

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

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

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