Poison and noise are the way. Making a sandwich for those you love. It will be not fruitful to pay the humans it would take to undo it and make it useful, and they were off to take the ring to mordor. And it might just end up making them pay people to just ingest fact, unlike the clowns in the sewers this one had a red balloon. Hell they could just buy the books and pay people correctly like the system was made before the purple people eater was walking downtown.
Try harder. A simple request to filter out the nonsense in Gemini gives:
After filtering out the "nonsense"—the pop-culture references (Lord of the Rings, IT, Purple People Eater) and the random metaphors (poison, sandwiches)—the core message appears to be a critique of modern data processing or AI training compared to traditional publishing.
The "correct" message hidden in the text is:
The Core Message
It is inefficient and costly to pay humans to fix low-quality or "noisy" data. Instead of spending money to clean up automated nonsense, it would be more effective to invest in high-quality, verified sources (like books) and pay human creators fairly, as the system was originally designed to function.
Breakdown of the "Noise" Removed
"Poison and noise are the way": Likely a sarcastic opening about the current state of data. "Making a sandwich for those you love": Irrelevant personal imagery. "Off to take the ring to Mordor": Lord of the Rings reference. "Clowns in the sewers... red balloon": Stephen King’s IT reference. "Purple people eater... walking downtown": Reference to the 1958 novelty song.
The Logic Retained
The Problem: It is "not fruitful" to pay humans to undo/fix "noise" to make it "useful." The Result: This process ends up forcing people to "ingest fact" (raw data) without proper context. The Solution: "Buy the books and pay people correctly" according to the original "system."
Would you like me to help you rewrite this message into a formal argument or a professional email?
Well I guess you have a point here as well. So do you think fuzzing the info you need to stay on subject when talking things out? I would like to see what you suggest. I guess you could even just even make one sentence per paragraph that are pertaining to the subject manner, but even then you can parse by things relevant to the subject matter.
Maybe its best just to make it so power hungry that its not needed, but that would mean half would have to talk in some sort of obfuscated manner (maybe someone that is the lead answer) and all others just respond normally and some who just want to be chaos actors answer the other drivel that was added to the message.
Aw, you needed an AI to figure it out for you? You want it to hold your hand when you cross the road? 🥺
Idk I’m not psychotic so I didn’t understand either
