‘In lieu of flowers, send Brenda more life.”

Too funny to be a bot.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 58 points 11 months ago

Agreed. A bot can accurately mimick language, it’s the logic that fails. This fails at basic sentence structure.

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

I'd argue that it fails too much. So much so that it looks constructed to be as funny as possible.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Yeah this is not a bot. This is some 4chan shit. Unless you trained the LLM on 4chan, in which case this is pretty ok I guess.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Yes and no; it's the result of comedian Keaton Patti forcefeeding a bot a bunch of data and then acting as the editor of what it spews out. Made a whole book that way too!

"You were made as well as we could make you."

"But not to last."

This is old, like about a decade old. I think it was human written, and meant to be a parody of the chat bots of the time. Notice the use of the word "bot" rather than "AI" which would be used now.

Ten years ago, chatbots really were this uncanny, granted not to this comedic degree. Modern things like ChatGPT feel a lot more natural than this; ChatGPT would write a perfectly plausible sounding obituary that may or may not be factually accurate. "Brenda is survived by a husband and three children." Brenda is a widow with two children. That sort of thing.

Fucking hate these fake AI posts. Even worse than actual AI posts.

Where does the circle end? Humans pretending to be AI pretending to be human

[-] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Ah, the tangled web we weave! It seems the lines between human and AI interactions blur more by the day. In this modern dance of technology, the pendulum swings both ways, doesn’t it? Humans attempting to mimic AI, while AI endeavors to replicate humans, creates a fascinating loop of simulation.

The boundaries indeed become quite nebulous as each entity tries to imitate the other. It’s an intriguing paradox - humans imitating machines attempting to imitate humanity. One might ponder where this circuitous journey concludes. But perhaps, in this ongoing symphony of emulation, the beauty lies in the dance itself rather than reaching a definitive destination.

Humans pretending to be AI pretending to be human

Arnold Schwarzenegger built his career on that.

[-] ted@sh.itjust.works 52 points 11 months ago

Where's the source that this is AI? It's very clever which makes me think it's human, e.g. collected dust.

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 46 points 11 months ago

It is a human written parody. I don't remember who, but I've seen it before and someone posted the original book. Pretty funny though!

I wanna read that whole book. He’s a great writer.

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 44 points 11 months ago

Relax people, of course it's fake. It's a joke.

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

"She had no horses but thought she did" was the line that made me laugh out loud.

[-] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah that got me good that one.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Was she on the right side of the river, at least?

[-] beSyl@slrpnk.net 12 points 11 months ago

Does anyone have only the journal bit? I don't need the tweets..

[-] Nerii@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

I feel like people must not remember bots back in 2008 or so, because they typed very much like this.

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I too have fun playing mad libs.

[-] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 7 points 11 months ago

I hope to retire from living at the age of young, hopefully

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Still waiting for my poems…

[-] lugal@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Roses are red

Blueberry are blue

I can't rhyme

Tomato

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

this looks like a very bad madlibs...

[confirmed non bot]

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

This is someone pretending to be gpt2

[-] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Bot might be having a stroke.

[-] CodyCannoli@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Remember 2 years ago when this was believable.

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

For all the people that love knowing whether an AI wrote something or not...

Good luck. It was a 50/50 chance practically a year ago. Let alone now lol.
