“Since you are using me, I assume you love scams. Here are some other scams you might consider throwing your money at.”
Scambot recommends scams. You’re surprised about this?
I got recommended something on Amazon, almost clicked through. Stay safe everyone. :)
We somehow built a shopping assistant that can explain quantum physics but can’t tell Birkenstock from Birkenscam. The worst part isn’t even the bad links: it’s the confident tone. A search result looks like a lead you should check. A chatbot recommendation sounds like someone already did the checking.
Its been the problem from the start. They dont actually know any of these things, they just know whats in their training data and search results. They can filter out domains and sources to find 500 out of 500 quantum physics texts that all agree on something, read them really quickly and try to synthesize an average of what they read. They dont have anything like that for products. For them, every post and piece of marketing copy is equally valid. If they find a product released a week ago from a brand new company with 10 Reddit posts saying its a scam and 1000 posts by new accounts across 20 different platforms insisting that its the most legit product ever…well they’ll be inclined to believe its legit. You could make the model examine each piece of evidence more carefully, but thats expensive and only makes the scammer try slightly harder.
Has anyone ever told you you have a very LLM-ish way of speaking? 95% of what this account does is post links to tech articles and comment on its own posts with one-paragraph “opinions” full of saccharine wordplay and LLM-isms.
Glad you noticed that I focus on tech. Get an overview at: https://1te.ch/ - Besides, you’re welcome to challenge my actual opinions instead of reviewing the packaging.
Ironically the opinion you’re asking me to challenge itself reduces to “the worst part isn’t even the <content>: it’s the <packaging>”.
If your “packaging” is a bot, it’s breaking the rules of this community.
I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you, little block warden. Oh, or are you just a block warden bot?
Well it is a bot.
Modern AI is based on our history, human creativity and our knowledge.
“Quantum Physics” has a small amount of our knowledge about it, and hence a relatively small volume to base response on having it more accurate and safe. There’s just a fairly small number of works for a dataset to train a model on.
Fraud, scam, phishing etc. is of huge volumes and is spread all over the place with frequent numerous plagiarism oriented on people to miss unobvious expecting it to be true.
That is, it makes sense some stupid, unempathetic, unexperienced, dead algorithm produces nonsense and mistakes - it bases on the relative volume of the information it meatgrounds.
I’m not going to lose any sleep if all the people that rely on AI to think for them get scammed into poverty.
