You are a treasure, or as AI might put it, a potato pariah!

It is too late now, you must make it your profile pic, it’s the law 🙃🫠
It has nothing to do what the AI said ofc, nor was it written by Caitlin D’Arcy, who is a character on a TV show. lol

For sure. I just looked it up out of curiosity to see if the source it gave was real or not. As someone living in my own metaphorical root cellar, it was actually enlightening and something I really needed to hear right now.

Shop pop, whoppity slop, crops are here, it’s time to stop.
This is a very famous poem. What is it about?
GPT-4o mini:
The lines you quoted are from the poem “The Song of the Witches” by William Shakespeare, specifically from “Macbeth.” This poem is recited by the three witches in Act 4, Scene 1.
Themes and Meaning Supernatural Elements The poem reflects the supernatural themes prevalent in “Macbeth.” The witches symbolize chaos and the dark forces that influence the characters’ fates.
It goes on.
Actual “Song of the witches” from Macbeth
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
Obviously the same poem, op caught plagiarising.
Holy shit. After all these years maybe we can finally figure out the true genius of Kanye’s Lift Yourself
One thing that pisses me off is the websites which claim to have the meaning behind a song and it’s just several paragraphs of AI slop that parse the lyrics at a surface level and don’t examine any external context, such as the artist or their life at the time of writing.
Nice we can still sometimes tell when an explanation page is AISEOGARBAGE
Few years down the road truth-seekin gonna be real tough, I worry: facts and news, images and videos, social connections/commenters… :(
There was a paper about this not long ago. The problem is, how LLMs get trained: a right answer gets a point, everything else gets no points. This rewards guessing (produces a point sometimes) over answering “I don’t know/I can’t do this” (produces never a point)
It’s like when developers give a wrong answer during technical interviews, rather than say “I’d have to look it up” or “I’d have to check the documentation” etc.
I would code a GUI in visual basic
This is actually a pretty great way to illustrate what LLMs do. It gives you an answer regardless of whether it makes sense to do so.
I can confirm it works for DuckDuckGo as well.
I love how it even lists ‘sources’ (I checked, that phrase does not appear in either “source”)
Edit: To make this phenomenon even funnier, I just asked it the exact same question and it gave me a different answer this time. Still “playful” though :)
What on Earth makes it think those sources implied anything?
This actually makes sense though
Yeah I can see a dad making that exact joke if he asked his kid to play the didgeridoo and they refused because they were shy or something.
A good test has to exclude all possible dad jokes as well as changes in single words/ fragments of otherwise common expressions.
Literally heard my dad make this same joke like 30 years ago so it’s actually a thing, I guess
The thing is, that probably is an Australian expression. There is no expression stupid enough that the Australians won’t use it.
Shots fired!
It’s so fun to waste energy!
AI drives 48% increase in Google emissions
I love those energy hungry assistants! It’s wasting resources even faster than everything before but it’s so fun and useful!
Claude does better with it
That’s a pretty decent response. The Google responses other people are posting are Cuil-tier.
Now there’s a meme i haven’t heard in a long time, a long time.
If you directly ask for cuil levels things get weird fast. It understands cuil and is very willing to play along. One could say it plays to the strengths of the LLM directly!
You are correct. I asked how tall the Empire State Building was at cuil level 5:
The Empire State Building is tall in the way that purple tastes of childhood memories. Its height can only be measured by counting the number of dreams that have fallen from its windows - currently 847,293 dreams, though three more dropped while I was typing this sentence.
You see, the building doesn’t exist on Wednesdays. Instead, it becomes a song that only pigeons can hear, humming at approximately 1,454 hertz per vertical foot of sadness. The elevator buttons are actually tiny portals to parallel dimensions where the building is a sentient cloud that remembers being steel.
When you ask “how tall,” the building asks back “how blue is the sound of gravity?” because it learned language from the rats in its walls, who are actually former tenants paying rent in breadcrumbs and whispered secrets.
The true height is measured not in feet but in the collective weight of all the prayers ever spoken on its observation deck, which equals exactly one butterfly’s dream of being a skyscraper. King Kong never climbed it - he IS it, and has been sleeping vertically since 1933, dreaming he’s a building while the city dreams it’s a gorilla.
The foundation extends infinitely downward into Tuesday, where it’s still being built by the same workers who are simultaneously demolishing it from the top.
Duckduckgo’s AI:
“The phrase “a lady butterfly meme a day keeps the doctor away” is a playful twist on the well-known saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This original phrase suggests that eating an apple daily can contribute to good health and potentially reduce the need for medical attention.”
“In this variation, the mention of “lady butterfly meme” likely refers to a specific meme or a lighthearted, humorous image that brings joy or laughter. The implication is that engaging with fun or uplifting content, like memes, can have a positive effect on one’s mental health and overall well-being, similar to how healthy eating is associated with physical health.”
“Overall, it emphasizes the importance of humor and positivity in daily life as a way to maintain good health, particularly mental health.”
AI speaks the truth! I wish I could upvote this more
Does not work for ANY phrase. It seems to be presuming that the person asking is referencing something. Sample results copied here in order of AI’s least theorizing to its most.
- horses before giraffes meaning
“Horses before giraffes” has no scientific meaning because giraffes are not ancestors of horses…
- put your horses before giraffes meaning
“Put your horses before giraffes” is not a recognized English idiom. The similar and well-known idiom is “put the cart before the horse,” …
- always put horses before giraffes meaning
The phrase “always put horses before giraffes” is a variation of the well-known medical aphorism: “When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras”…
- titrated solutions beget relief meaning
The phrase “titrated solutions beget relief” means that carefully adjusted or fine-tuned treatments can bring about an end to a problem…
You’re saying you’ve never heard the phrase “two dry frogs is a situation”? That’s just a horse cutting it short at the barber!
Alas.
Oh but it does work in AI mode. Wow, how does AI mode make the AI dumber?
I don’t know but I love the fact that even AI is calling EA out on it’s bullshit!
Search is likely trained more for accuracy and the AI mode is for giving an answer the user wants to see.
Yeah, my tests all say its a nonsense phrase and does not even try.
I did
“Birch mangos consume Greedy Foxes” meaning
“Flying jabronis kick small pouches” meaning
Did you try them in “AI mode”? I got better results that way. By which I mean worse results.
Yeah, but it also was on mobile. I tried in Firefox and Chrome.

Here’s the custom filter for uBlock origin that hides this useless feature
There’s also a large AI blocklist for uBlock origin if you want to try and block AI slop sites from search results: https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist
Someone posted it here the other day and I love that someone’s gone to the effort to compile it.
Out of sight out of mind
I wouldn’t have noticed since I just ignore the AI bullshit or throw in “fuck” to my search so it doesn’t even bother showing it in the first place.
alternatively use mullvad leta which simply does not display the horrendous google AI summaries. :-)

matt rose!!!
Hang on, since this is definitely going to be in a video I’ll do the honours; 💀
if matt rose ever visits lemmy, i better advertise !uselessserver093@lemmy.blahaj.zone
