Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

This time it's not an onion. I love how close this is to the Onion's "Elon Musk's AI turns on him" story from a few days back

User Gary Koepnick asked the AI which person spreads the most information on Twitter/X—and the service did not hesitate in pointing a finger at its creator.

(my emphasis) That’s a terrible typo…

So nowadays AI is more intelligent as the usual shareholder and president?

I hate Elon Musk as much as the next guy - and all the more now that he has this massive conflict of interest working in his favor and at the American public's expense.

But I will say this for the sake of exercizing critical thinking: everybody is happy to say AI hallucinates when what it says doesn't suit their narrative, and call AI intelligent when it does.

Sure, but if you’re trying to make money off of this technology and it openly starts criticizing you, there isn’t really an explanation where you look good.

CEOs haven't realized they're actually the people that are easiest to replace with AI.

I feel sorry for satire writers in the last decade or so, it must be genuinely difficult to come up with stuff more bizarre than reality.

I…worked on this story for a year…and…he just…he generated it out.

I feel bad to exist in this timeline with all the "bizarre stuff,"

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 14 points 6 hours ago

I now understand how "may you live in interesting times" is such a bad thing.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago

I just feel bad. Just in general. Wake up. Feel bad.

Et tu, Grok?

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 73 points 7 hours ago

The smackdown from his own AI system, ironically, came soon after Musk touted the system to his followers in a tweet reading “Use Grok for answers that are based on up-to-date info!”

Beautiful.

"Mirror mirror on the wall, who spreads the most misinformation of all?"

And suddenly billionaires are no longer interested in AI.

[–] seaQueue@lemmy.world 26 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I'm waiting for the "AI is democrat communism" talking points

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

"AI is woke."

It didn’t turn on him, it surpassed him

Oh how the turn tables.
