AI Slop (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Costco article has nothing to do with PB but I'm betting the AI is showing me a picture of allergic butter. Frankly dangerous.

Also unhelpful, since, if you look at my comment history, I was already aware of the Costco butter fiasco and had made a snarky comment about it.

That's almost as good as this one I got months back

rsync isn't that fancy, but rsync is a nicer sync than rneighborsync. In fact, their whole kytchen is pretty ugly.

Are you insinuating Google is reading your Lemmy comments and pushing you news recommendations based on those?

Considering they are not even capable of removing video recommendations for videos you literally just finished watching on Youtube I doubt it.

i get that this is supposed to be a joke but just because they can't get a bug fixed doesn't mean they aren't teacking you and recommending you stuff based on your web activity

Honestly, recommendation engines are literally the most primitive shit, especially the ones by large companies.

Audible keeps recommending part 3 or 4 of series where i haven't heard part 1 or 2 or tells me there is a new title in my "favorite series", i.e.g the one where I just stopped listing half-way through a book to instead listen to something else.

Amazon also still hasn't fixed that simple thing where it keeps recommending you a second e.g. washing machine because you recently bought one.

Google recommendations were literally better 10 years ago than they are now though I suppose AI is partially to blame for that one but even before that it "helpfully corrected" searches frequently away from what I was actually looking for just because the term was similar to a more popular one.

I don't doubt that they feed it all kinds of tracking data but the actual algorithm that does anything with that data is literally about as primitive as the "chosen by fair dice roll" XKCD.

As in "we are the knights who say jif"

You have peanut butter named Jif? That's weird, where I come from Jif is an abrasive cleaner.

...Is your peanut butter gritty?

[-] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 0 points 8 months ago

The cleaner used to be called Jif, it's been called Cif since they started selling it in France, where "Jif" is slang for a condom lol

Native French here, I had never heard of that word.
