that's the joke

Counterpoint: When you're not looking for things, you don't find them.

Which is why the current US administration is destroying any kind of science that might find, say, climate change, or emerging pandemics.

It's not just research into things like that. As I mentioned elsewhere, one of the researchers in my department had a study canceled because something they did "engendered a robust hemodynamic response". Someone replied saying theirs was canceled for "mineral inclusion". There are thousands of things like this. It's not about DEI, it's about getting rid of science, because science is at odds with their view of the US.

>> It looks like this isn't something I can help you with. Would you like to be connected to a human who can help?

> Sure!

>> Ok, I'm connecting you to a human now.

> Hello?

>> Hi! What can I help you with?

> Are you a human?

>> No, I'm an AI agent programmed to help you with anything you need. What can I do for you?

> You said you were going to connect me to a human.

>> That isn't something I can do. What can I help you with?

Turns out "connecting to a human" is something it knows about in its training data so it'll hallucinate doing so.

At least your example IDs itself as an AI agent. The ones I've come across hide it but it becomes obvious with responses like "I don't have access to that information" or something a human would never say. I had a dealership give me one of those, so I hung up on it and called a different dealership where I was connected to an actual human. Guess which one got my business...

Whoops, keyword match.

We had one that mentioned "mineral inclusion".

Yep. I'm in Boston (USA) and I have literally met perhaps 2 people ever who have an Android phone - and both of them aren't from the US.

One of my colleagues study was shut down because the medication “engendered a strong response”.

Calling this administration an idiocracy is insanely generous

“Your body doesn’t work perfectly? Dunno man, mine does.”

Well - parent didn’t say “the thing that makes it less useful _for me_ is lack of a backlight”, but a categorical “it’s less useful for everyone due to lack of a backlight”.

Sure, information on all sorts of things is in “the library”. But (a) most people in the world don’t have access to a decent library (if you’re on HN you’re statistically much more likely to), (b) most people have no idea how to use one (same), and most importantly (c) AI will distill the knowledge from ten books you might need to read into step by step simple instructions if you ask.

I asked it to clip a video onto segments based on location of spoken words (using separately done audio transcription) and it flagged that as cyber.
