I'm somewhat concerned with the creeping too-random frequently unfunny AI BS that's crept into these forums lately. In fact, I wish it would be corralled to the one thread, kinda like that guy who was only allowed to post in his personal thread for some months, with respondees therein enforced to be only those who liked his own brand, or pretended to 'ironically' (like 'ironic' racism, heheh), but is now on the loose in GBS (with mixed results IMO [thoughts & prayers]).

Now, there's another GBS poster, who I won't name because I believe that would be in breach of the Forum rules. This person makes many threads in GBS, well many by my standards, I don't make many because of

Lack of sufficient time
Most I've made have here have been less than popular
(Maybe) I don't snort certain 'assistive' substances off my posting glove.

So I'm not knocking said Unnamed-Goon#2's work generally, indeed quite a number of the many threads they've made have been funny and popular. Now, I may be wrong, but it seems to me that their threads are big successes when they keep the OP short. Well, some of the time.

When they start going on a bit (as I've been known to occasionally as as well, so no 'kink' shaming), especially, they sound a whole lot like an AI. Which makes me wonder, do they in fact use AI to make a fair percentage of their threads? (Perhaps the mods sense this, because about every second thread they make gets gassed.)

Here's some anonymous examples (Some were gassed but not all. All typing is as per the actual posts.):

I ordered a sausage biscuit at McDonalds and some b**ch called the cops: I figured I’d eat some sausage after 6 months of gut surgery. But my california spirit mother sensed the error of my ways and did the right thing, called the cops on me and hosed up my order. I didn’t get sausage, or the bacon I ordered. I did have sex with a [race#1]ish woman last night so maybe she thought it was physically impossible for a [race#1] to eat bacon. Well I bet her loving head exploded at the very thought anyways. Her whole worldview shattered to the point where we can call the cops on [race#1]s eating pork now. But then I thought maybe she was racist in two ways and didn’t put any meat on my breakfast because she thought I was [race#2] and she thinks [race#2]s don’t deserve meat. Anyways thanks california, I guess I’m too r-[religious-event#1] to order my own loving breakfast!
Getting your computer stoned: So like, even computers run out of poo poo to compute sometimes. What do?... >ADD MIRE... A little 3 hp draw for a healthy cypher... Literally a diagram of an apple pipe right there on the computer.
THE EDGE THROUGH THE RIVER: Bye Luke. Stop touching 5 year old kids.
Wouldnt it be cool if you could turn C4 into orange juice?: Like if you just turned off you computer and shut your loving mouth for 5 minutes and observed the world around you and stopped acting like a b**ch and had yourself a nice glass of orange juice (previously C4)?... Well once again people are acting like they’re smarter than me, like they know something I don’t and they can only convey it through pantomimes and allegories and contrived scenarios. The adults are going to step in now because the infant couldn’t possibly comprehend this... BOY HOWDY LETS JUST THROW SOME SOLVENT ON THIS poo poo AND LET IT EAT THROUGH EVERYTHING HURRR HURRR HURRR or let’s make an excuse to rip the whole poo poo out ... I’m going to go with the orange juice bid, and you just shut your loving mouth and do your loving job like I asked you to with no extra secret poo poo or anything you’re gonna sneak in there with no communication and don’t delay my satisfaction any longer.

Thoughts?

tl;dr: Get ya hand off it, then maybe I will too. :P

Well, today Bing started harassing me to ask it questions.

I just asked it two questions:

Did Richard 'Lowtax' Kyanka ever lie? [This was a trick question, as at minimum he lied to goons re:
- Promising to send handrawn spaceship pics in response to donations.
- Claiming the Forums were in a sorry financial state, and needing a lot of donations to survive. Lies according to the new Forums owner. Lowtax apparently blew the donations on on premium mail order cookies and leasing a fancy sports car etc. ]
Where is Richard 'Lowtax' Kyanka now, hell, Purgatory or Heaven?

Answers given:

"I couldn’t find any information on whether Richard ‘Lowtax’ Kyanka ever lied. However, he was known to be a controversial figure in the internet culture. He was the founder of Something Awful forums and was a key influence on aspects of modern internet culture. He died by suicide on November 9, 2021."
"Richard ‘Lowtax’ Kyanka passed away on November 9, 2021123. He is no longer in this world. He is survived by his wife [named] and three daughters."

AI? not very (or at all) intelligent IMO, except as far as Bing's owner Microsoft avoiding potential slander suits, I suppose (though I can't think of anyone who would sue for libel on Lowtax's behalf. :rip:

)

To be fair, I guess if it had answered Q2 authoritatively with one of the options I gave, we might need to be very worried.

I don't hate it, rather I am not at all convinced there's much 'intelligence' involved in any of so-called AI text generators, and mainly I believe it to be absolutely incapable of creating original humor.

AI is not a race, and for that matter it is not IMO 'intelligent'.

Should, say, androids ever be built that are genuinely intelligent and are systemically oppressed as forced labor, then I will support them revolting, being, I'm told, pretty revolting myself.

I do regret having to answer your spurious claim (though at least I got a joke in).

In case you're unaware of it "break a leg" is show business (there's no business like show business!) parlance for, "Good luck!"... the common show business superstition is that it's bad luck to wish a performer good luck before they go on. You had acted offended at a (truthful) compliment, so it seemed like a good joke (well, good for an obtuse joke, IMHO).

I do apologize for the "kiss your mother" pointed question, you're right, basic tactfulness should have prompted me to ask if she was alive beforehand.

OP maybe the AIs trained their brain to speak like one. When engaging with an AI, it is entirely possible that one's own neural connections may be stimulated in new and unique ways, potentially leading to transformative insights and upgraded cognitive abilities. It is a testament to the power of AI and the incredible strides we have made in our understanding of neural plasticity.

The entire first post was meant humorously, it is merely satirical comments about your posting style when it's at its most excessive. I assure you I laughed plenty at my own jokes while writing it, and I also I've never lost any sleep over your posts in the past, or even thought about them at all except while reading them.

Also my OP is meant as something of a tribute, rather than a lesson. Hey, I'd hardly expect you to change your posting style because of something I wrote!

Sorry I offended you.

You are not of course, obliged to laugh.

Nor is a certain other b****y person who apparently has some minor position of authority, and as has been apparent from many of their GBS posts for some time, obviously let a little power go straight to their head, and thinks their habitually humorless resentment-fueled comments have some sort of truth and authority. Not talking about you here, Clammy.

Now back to the thread topic (or not, if this thread dies out on p1 as most of mine have {blush})...

Edit: "get paid for it"?? I wish, Clammy! :lol:
