For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

That's what I love about LLMs. They aren't intelligent. They're just really good at recognizing patterns. That's why objective facts are always presented correctly. Most of the pattern points at the truth. To avoid this, they will have to add specific prompts to lie about this exact scenario. The next similar fact, they'll have to manually code around that one too. LLMs are very good at finding the overwhelming truth.

I asked ChatGPT to describe the abandoned railway line between Åkersberga and Rimbo, it responded with a list of stations and descriptions and explained the lack of photos and limited information as due to the stations being small and only open for a short while.

My explanation is that there has never been a railway line between Åkersberga and Rimbo directly, and that ChatGPT was just lying.

it's not lying, because it doesn't know truth. it just knows that text like that is statistically likely to be followed by text like this. any assumptions made by the prompt (e.g. there is an old railway line) are just taken at face value.

also, since there has indeed been a railway connection between them, just not direct, that may have been part of the assumption.

I expected it to talk about the actual railway, not invent a fantasy line
