Comment on Ars Technica Fires Reporter Over AI-Generated Quotes
atrielienz@lemmy.world 3 days agoIt doesn’t say something like that specifically because it isn’t an algorithm that receives x input and spits out Y. It’s an algorithm that receives x query and spits out the most common variant worf that comes after query. If there isn’t a most common word that makes sense to a human, the AI doesn’t know that and so it still gives the most common word in its training set.
If the query is “Juicy” it may output melons. If melons were not available in its training set it might output grapes or cherries, but if those weren’t available it might output apple bottom jeans which would have made sense in 2003 but likely wouldn’t make sense to the average kid today who’s never heard of juicy couture.
It doesn’t understand anything. It can’t reason.
