I thought this was fake or a bad result or something, but totally just duplicated it. Wow.
If you read the block of text…. It doesn’t make sense either.
I just tried and got “about 40,000 billion kilometers”. Also the references are completely different from the ones in the post, so I guess it was a ranking issue
AI is just too unpredictable, hard to know what’s accurate and you end up doing the work yourself anyways
I expect if you follow the references you’d find one of them to be one of those “if Earth was a grain of sand” analogies.
People like laughing at AI but usually these silly-sounding answers accurately reflect the information the search returned.
A great deal of energy, hardware and software went into providing that wrong answer.
We should leave AI to the realm of producing fringe/impossible porn, like it was meant for and like what everyone actually wants from it. All this “search engine” stuff is just cover like when you buy some non-lube products like groceries along with the tube of astroglide at 1:00 AM.
If you read the whole thing, it’s not wrong. It just highlighted a part that is wrong when taken out of context
What you’re referring to as “highlighting” here is what most of us consider the thing “answering the question”.
“Where are you from?”
“Connecticut. I was born and raised in Utah …”
That first sentence is the answer to the question.
You may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.

”Space,” it says, ”is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly hugely mindboggingly big it is. I mean you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist, but that’s just peanuts to space. Listen . . . ” and so on.In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
That’s a big fucking problem if true. Albeit a short lived problem.
AI is statistically generated word salad.
Yah I’m so happy every major internet and tech company is deciding to deliberately power every system we use with random word salad generators, there’s no chance will cause any problems.
it’s like having Sarah Palin for dinner!
So is human speech
In very next line, it says the distance is 4.37 lightyears away… which is also wrong, lol
For anyone wondering, the actual correct answer is about 4.25 lightyears or about 40 trillion kilometers.
Close. The distance to Alpha Centauri is 41.5 petameters (trillion kilometers) and the distance to Proxima Centauri is 40.2 petameters.
Relying on LLM for any facts without verifying is playing with fire.
I suspect there’s a quite-overlapping Venn diagram of people who rely on LLMs for their “facts” with people who believe the earth is flat and people who believe ancient aliens are real.
So really no excuse when the vogons come
There’s no excuse anyway. The plans were very prominently displayed.
On display? I finally found them in the bottom of a locked filling cabinet in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of the leopard”.
Forgive Bing. It’s American and doesn’t know the metric system.
wormholes confirmed
Good golly, someone make some chocolate chip cookies, we’re going to have to go and welcome them to the neighborhood. Damn rude no one said anything sooner.
13.6 kilometers ought to be enough for anybody.
Like, are we sure? Has someone actually checked?
When techbros said “you can type a question and the AI will answer”, they seem to have forgotten that we expect the answers to be true and accurate.
And they seem to have forgotten that to do that, they actually need a database of facts.
And they seem to have forgotten that to do that, they actually need a database of facts.
This is the main reason why AI cannot be trusted to answer science questions. They absolutely need a database of facts.
And it’s a reason AI cannot be trusted. Full stop.
Perhaps in 50-100 years after people stop being stupid about it.
