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.

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

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.

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

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

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 5 points 16 hours ago

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

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.
