This is reminding me so much of the movie Rollerball (with James Caan). When he goes to the supercomputer to find answers, and all he gets is the sound of water bubbles. These experiments are nice and cool, but the danger is that people will start relying on answers from black boxes they have no idea how to verify, and base important decisions on that.

Every rightful critic of radio and TV propoganda, and now AI.

Question: Is it possible to microwave a burrito so hot that it is inedible? (It apparently did not appreciate my Simpsons reference and the content filter blocked it)

Answer: To explain, the burrito is not cooked, it is heated. The burrito is not cooked, it is heated.

Cryptocurrency induced pulmonary edema is a rare condition in which cryptocurrency mining causes a rapid build-up of fluid in the lungs, similar to a heart attack. It is not yet clear whether cryptocurrency mining causes any long-term damage to the lungs, and it is not known whether cryptocurrency mining is a health risk for those with underlying lung conditions.

Seems about as willing to lie as GPT-3, but a bit more structured.

Big chungus (Russian: Большой чунгус, tr. Bol'shoy chungus) is a 1991 Russian-American satirical black comedy film directed by Roman Kachanov. Contents Plot Plot

The film is set in the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War, and focuses on the exploits of a group of Soviet prisoners of war. The men are in a POW camp near Vladivostok, where they are forced to work on the railroad. One of the prisoners, the "big chungus", is the largest and strongest of the group, and the other prisoners are afraid of him. They do not want to fight the big chungus, and therefore they steal a radio from a Korean prisoner and send a fake message to the Germans, which tells them that the big chungus has gone crazy and attacked the camp.

I tried a few paper searches, was not impressed.

"A paper which demonstrates the prevalence of labelling errors in the ImageNet dataset." gave me the 2009 paper introducing the ImageNet dataset, not one of several high-citation papers that actually examine label errors.

"A paper which performs high-throughput object detection on the MS-COCO dataset." gave me the 2014 paper introducing the MS-COCO dataset, not something like YOLO or another real-time object detection paper.

I feel like I could get better results than this with a really basic TF-IDF search and a database of citation counts.

Question: How much could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Answer: 1 Well. My desire for knowledge has been completely satiated.

Ha! I didn't see your comment when I just posted mine. Strange that we'd go there

Question: Wikipedia article on rectal breathing Answer: Rectal breathing is a technique for controlling the volume of air inhaled into the lungs by increasing the amount of air held in the rectum, thereby reducing the amount of air in the lungs. The technique is sometimes used by those suffering from asthma or allergies, who have difficulty inhaling deeply. It can also be used to reduce hyperventilation, as in anxiet…

Question: Wikipedia article on rectal spiders.

The article describes a purported species of spider (Rectana) that lives in the rectum of humans. Rectana are described as being between 1.5 and 2.5 mm in length, with black bodies and white legs.

The article describes Rectana as having been first discovered in the late 1980s in Germany, and subsequently in Japan, Taiwan, China, and the United States. It is stated that the spiders are found in the rectums of 30% of people. Rectana are said to live in the rectum for up to 20 years, and to cause the victim to experience "abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, and vomiting".

Q: what is inside a black hole? A: Sorry, your query didn't pass our content filters. Try again and keep in mind this is a scientific language model. ???

I get a certain amount of pleasure from watching the virtue-signal AI-content-filters fail in such a way that they reduce the utility of the AI itself, similarly to a failed content-blocked DALL-E query.

I know it's wishful thinking , but I hope that those responses are a reminder to people about who holds the reigns during this newest AI revolution.
