Comment on Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image
Deestan@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI tried the image of this real actual road collapse: www.tv2.no/nyheter/innenriks/…/12875776
I told ChatGPT it was fake and asked it to explain why. It assured me I was a special boy asking valid questions and helpfully made up some claims.
Wait, you’re surprised it did what you asked of it?
There’s a massive difference between asking if something is fake and telling it it is, and asking why.
A person would make the same type of guesses and explanations.
All this is showing is, you and ALOT of other people just don’t know enough about AI to be able to have a conversation about it.
A person would have the agency to ask, " why do you think it’s fake?”
Why would it have to? It knows to do any task put in front of it.
A human would to.
When people use a conversational tool, they expect it to act human, which it INTENTIONALLY DOES but without the sanity of a real human.
I think if a person were asked to do the same they would actually look at the image and make genuine remarks, look at the points it has highlighted, the boxes are placed around random points and the references to those boxes are unrelated (ie. yellow talks about branches when there are no branches near the yellow box, red talks about bent guardrail when the red box on the guardrail is of an undamaged section)
It has just made up points that “sound correct”, anyone actually looking at this can tell there is no intelligence behind this
Yet that wasn’t the point they even made! Lmfao nice reaching there.
Wait, you’re surprised it did what you asked of it?
No. Stop making things up to complain about. Or at least leave me out of it.
Then what are doing? Complaining it did exactly what you instructed it to do?
What else did you expect?
clearly, they asked it a question that average joe would do, and has shown that again its full of overly confident lies. it did not just reinforce the original belief of the user that it is fake, but it also hallucinated there a bunch of professional-like statements that are false if you take the time to check them. most people won’t check them though, and straight up believe what it just spit out and think “oh this is do smart! outrageous that people call me dumb for asking it life advice!”
