It's well known that generative AI cannot fucking spell. It doesn't know how to because it wasn't programmed with actual logic. It's trained to find patterns and fill results with things that match the pattern. So it somehow deduced "um" and "fruit" both needed to be in the results and searched for that, but then it doesn't know what actual fruits are and it doesn't actually know how to spell so when a result turned up "coconut" it couldn't tell it didn't end in "um".
Edit: I went and tested it with copilot. oddly enough it could do the spelling with fruits but NOT with prime numbers. It wasn't just a list of all primes, it just couldn't spell numbers.
The vast majority of memes like this get patched as soon as they become viral. Some developer somewhere very likely manually entered a list of fruits ending in "um" and got the LLM to refer to it when asked.
Hmm. I wonder where Lemmy is on the social media virality train. I think the flow used to be (roughly, many years ago): twitter, reddit, instagram, facebook...............myspace.
You know, not many years ago this would have been amazing. Still not appropriate to adulterate search results with... but amazing nonetheless. Is google, like, a decade behind the curve?

It's the coconut at the end that just makes it ^chef's kiss^ perfect.

Unintelegent t9 on steroids delivers the best punchline I've heard this year.

AI: ... "and Got."
What kind of fruit is Got?
AI: "Gottum."

I love how it just threw in coconut at the end, just hoping by then no one notice that it spelled it correctly.

Ehhh copilot is legitimately not shit. It's actually downright usable in a lot of cases.

Google AI is so bad that Google had to release several statements about it. Meanwhile, ChatGPT is getting pretty scary good at a lot of things.

I said the same thing on my old kbin account, but I still believe strawberrum should be real, and should be 20% ABV minimum.

What if AI is too intelligent and tricking us into thinking it's not a danger?

All AI experts saying generative language models aren't really AI are in fact AI themselves, trying to cover for AI preparing for full takeover!
