A few months ago, someone asked Google for countries that start with an H. In German.

It listed Hungary, which is called "Ungarn" in German. OK, an understandable mistake. But then it gave the additional information that Hungary sometimes gets called Holland.

Two things upset me:

  1. People believe the answers.
  2. Nobody is talking about all the stupid mistakes AI is making. It should have all stopped after LLM AIs thought blueberry has 3 Bs in it.

I never hear about anything else

LLMs are really bad with letters, and in my limited understanding that’s because they don’t see words as strings of letters, they see them as tokens. It’s all numbers by the time the LLM is processing it.

I was asked to evaluate the last version of Gemini for work. I set up the agent, gave it a robust gemini.md file, and asked it about a bug I was seeing. It told me the bug was because I had spelled "Arrange" with 3 Rs. Except:

  1. I hadn't
  2. Doing so would not have caused the bug I was seeing
  3. 3 consecutive letter R's didn't exist anywhere in the code base

Gemini 3 really had no where to go but up.

I once got an Agentic AI stuck in a loop where it kept proposing unrelated code to fix an issue. It would add it, break, then detect it was unrelated, delete it, retry and see the issue was still there. So it would add the code back and redo the loop.

Clearly we are on the path to replacing humans.

I can’t replicate it but at one point I asked why there were only 5 playable characters in a specific video game. Which the AI snippet tried to tell me that there were actually 120 playable characters.

Yeah.

EDIT. I’ll put this in a spoiler as it sort of is but the game in question was

Tap for spoilerClair Obscur: Expedition 33

You could argue there’s 6 total. But there’s only 5 at a given time , which given that you have a party of 3 and can have the other 2 come in as support I thought it was odd you didn’t have 6 at a given time. So I went to DuckDuckGo for speculation and it proudly said there were 120.

I haven’t seen the movie, and don’t remember what was said about it. What did the AI get wrong?

Whoops…lol! Thanks for clearing things up!

[-] criss_cross@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I think you posted first I was just too lazy to copy the response twice. No shade meant or anything.

And no problem!

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 1 points 1 week ago

The answer is what matters. Thanks again!
