This is some cursed shit. "Dance for the computer, it will judge you". It reminds me of the npc streaming from a while back. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/npc-streaming

I agree. With the algorithms that things like "Dance Central" used, it wasn't that bad, because people knew it was just a bad algorithm.

With this, though, some people will think that it really is funny if the computer thinks it's funny, and they'll target that.

If you think things like Skibidi Toilet are ridiculous, just wait until people are trying to please a flawed LLM, and then spreading it to the world.

If you use racist terminology, it actually picks it as the winning answers https://imgur.com/a/rI9zLKd

I think that's because the Internet sucks, and LLMs are trained on that crap. For example, I notice that almost every time a professional female comedian posts anything on social media, the comments are filled with guys saying "that's not funny" or "no women are funny", even for women who regularly sell out large venues on their tours. If you inject all that as training data of course your model is going to "believe" the same thing.

Case in point, Elon Musk thinking Grok thinking he's cool means he's cool, lol.

This was super fun! Weirdly, it was harder to play with Elvis and Trump than it was with Stalin. Too bad the game finishes once you convince everyone.

I'm quite surprised by the smoothness tho - considering it's a browser based 3D game using TTS and LLM's, the experience is great!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Look up minstrel shows, society has been like this for basically forever.

I think if they weren't a taboo in the first place, saying them wouldn't be funny.

Was racism taboo when minstrel shows were popular? I don’t think it was…

There definitely are jokes that play with taboo subjects and derive the comedy from the sudden shock of the taboo thing. But other times people seem to just want to engage in the taboo for its own sake.

This happens a lot and it's really weird. Google had a Gemini stand at Supercomputing, the best thing they could figure out to demo their vision abilities was to have you male lego robots and have the AI judge them. Like, why is that fun? Would it be fun if the judge was a human? And is that all AI can contribute, arbitrary value judgements that we'll find humorous?

I saw that booth, it was pathetic.
