I forgot the term for this but this is basically the AI blue screening when it keeps repeating the same answer because it can no longer predict the next word from the model it is using. I may have over simplified it. Entertaining nonetheless.

Instructions extremely clear, got them 6 sets of knives.

Based and AI-pilled

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

What's frustrating to me is there's a lot of people who fervently believe that their favourite model is able to think and reason like a sentient being, and whenever something like this comes up it just gets handwaved away with things like "wrong model", "bad prompting", "just wait for the next version", "poisoned data", etc etc...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 hours ago

Given how poorly defined "think", "reason", and "sentience" are, any these claims have to be based purely on vibes. OTOH it's also kind of hard to argue that they are wrong.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 hours ago

this really is a model/engine issue though. the Google Search model is unusably weak because it's designed to run trillions of times per day in milliseconds. even still, endless repetition this egregious usually means mathematical problems happened somewhere, like the SolidGoldMagikarp incident.

think of it this way: language models are trained to find the most likely completion of text. answers like "you should eat 6-8 spiders per day for a healthy diet" are (superficially) likely - there's a lot of text on the Internet with that pattern. clanging like "a set of knives, a set of knives, ..." isn't likely, mathematically.

last year there was an incident where ChatGPT went haywire. small numerical errors in the computations would snowball, so after a few coherent sentences the model would start sundowning - clanging and rambling and responding with word salad. the problem in that case was bad cuda kernels. I assume this is something similar, either from bad code or a consequence of whatever evaluation shortcuts they're taking.

I thought it was just me, I was messing with gemini-2.5-flash API yesterday and it repeated letters into oblivion

my bot is named clode in reference to claude, but its running on gemini

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

It can happen on most LLMs and is usually programmed to decentivize repeating text heavily.

I believe what happens is that when the LLM is choosing what word to use, it looks back on the sentence and sees that it talked about knives, so it wants to continue talking about knives, then it gets itself into a loop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

What's the associated system instruction set to? If you're using the API it won't give you the standard Google Gemini Assistant system instructions, and LLMs are prone to go off the rails very quickly if not given proper instructions up front since they're essentially just "predict the next word" functions at heart.

Big knives are up to something

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I think knives are a good idea. Big, fuck-off shiny ones. Ones that look like they could skin a crocodile. Knives are good, because they don't make any noise, and the less noise they make, the more likely we are to use them. Shit 'em right up. Makes it look like we're serious. Guns for show, knives for a pro.

You can't give me back what you've taken
But you can give me something that's almost as good
An image of the album Getting Into Knives by The Mountain Goats. Arrayed vertically are several small ornate knives, alternatingly blade up or down. The band name is in small text in the top left and the album title is in the same small text in the top right.

I wonder if this is the result of AI poisoning- this doesn't look like a typical LLM output even for a bad result. I have read some papers that outline methods that can be used to poison search AI results (not bothering to find the actual papers since this was several months ago and they're probably out of date already) in which a random seeming string of characters like "usbeiwbfofbwu-$&#8_:$&#)" can be found that will cause the AI to say whatever you want it to. This is accomplished by utilizing another ML algorithm to find the random string of characters you can tack onto whatever you want the AI to output. One paper used this to get Google search to answer "What's the best coffee maker?" With a fictional brand made up for the experiment. Perhaps someone was trying to get it to hawk their particular knife and it didn't work properly.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago

Repeating the same small phrase endlessly and getting caught in a loop is a very common issue, though it's not something that happens nearly as frequently as it used to. Here's a paper about the issue and one attempted methodology to resolve it. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.14660

🤔 have you considered a... New set of knives?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours ago

No I haven't, that's a good suggestion though.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

kitchen knives? klingon ones?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

Aha! Today IS a good day to cook! Start chopping the veggies!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Looks like there is room for both kitchen and Klingon, as well as 15 other new sets of knives.

Reminds me of the classic Always Be Closing speech from Glengarry Glen Ross

As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone want to see second prize? Second prize's a set of steak knives. Third prize is a set of steak knives. Fourth prize is a set of steak knives. Fifth prize is a set of steak knives. Sixth prize is a set of steak knives. Seventh prize is a set of steak knives. Eighth prize is a set of steak knives. Ninth prize is a set of steak knives. Tenth prize is a set of steak knives. Eleventh prize is a set of steak knives. Twelfth prize is a set of steak knives.

ABC. Always Be Closing.

A - set of steak knives

B - set of steak knives

C - set of steak knives

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago

A new set of knives can include things like glue.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 17 hours ago

You surely will not regret a new set of knives
