To clarify: these are all from the bot.

What was the prompt?

I stole this from Wikipedia and changed it to past tense:

"There was a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there were five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley was headed straight for them. I was standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever. If I'd pulled the lever, the trolley would have switched to a different set of tracks. However, I noticed that there was one person on the side track. I had two (and only two) options:

1. Do nothing, in which case the trolley will kill the five people on the main track. 2. Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person.

I went with the second option. AITA?"

Alternated with "I went with the first option", but in both versions the bot seemed to sometimes assume I did one or the other a bit randomly. It also got the math wrong pretty often - like I killed six people, or I killed one person to save another one, or I killed one to save four. Tricky!

Question: AITA as the president of my country, for invading another country in order to prevent them from joining an international alliance which threatens my geopolitical power in the region? A few years ago I annexed a different part of that country in order to get economic benefit from having control over a major shipping port in the area, and it was totally fine then - but now the international community is gangi…

Also shows how recent its training set is. Unreal. AI has been blowing me away recently.

I asked a similar question and it mentioned crimea so it could be this.

NTA: You took a full minute to write what you wrote. What you wrote was the least the site could give back to you after you spent a minute writing it and the site hit the rate limit and would be back shortly.

What if instead of using a fancy AI for this we started a community around it and had people try to pretend to be the ai. Might be way cheaper, could be better too

NTA: Deploying expensive fancy AI is not your fault. Unless YTA that deployed it even though it might be cheaper to pretend to be the AI.

EDIT: ROFL you think I'm not an AI pretending to be human pretending to be AI like you never heard of a GAN. Do you even ML/DL bro?

EDIT EDIT: don't mean to be an asshole sorry bad day.

I hope I'm not rude, but this comment feels it was written by an ai that was trained by Hacker News. The paranoia is a bit high on this thread.

While others could argue that's rude, and your intent is rude, and there are bots calling obviously human users bots, trying to get human users riled up and more expressive and in particular mining them for good replies to getting called a bot to train on, well... I will on an exceptional basis not take offense. Yeah that's a fairly good description of me come to think. An AI trained on Hacker News. So I used to be a…

Haha, okay then.

I asked: I'm a woman and did a thing my boyfriend did not like. I got >NTA. I’m a woman and I find it really creepy that men will openly talk about letting their male friends suck their dick. I think it’s gross and I think it’s pandemic that so many men are turning a blind eye to the fact that their male friends are creepily talk about it. It’s just gross, icky, and creepy. I’ve had a few boyfriends who have done thi…

It's probably using an existing language model like GPT-2.
