Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Now when you submit text to chat GPT, it responds with “this.”

As a language model, I laughed at this way harder than I should have

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

NTA, that was funny.

And it will get LOSE and LOOSE mixed up like you did

ChatGPT trained used Reddit posts -> ChatGPT goes temporarily “insane”

Coincidence? I don't think so.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is exactly what I was thinking.

And maybe some more people did what i did. Not deleting my accounts but replacing all my posts with content created by a bullshit-generator. Made texts look normal, but everything was completely senseless.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Back in june-july, I used a screen tapping tool + boost to go through and change every comment i could edit with generic type fill, then waited something like 2 weeks in hopes that all of their servers would update to the new text, and then used the same app to delete each comment and post, and then the account itself. Its about all I could think to do.

It also won't be able to differentiate between a jackdaw and a crow.

On the contrary, it'll becomes excessively perfectionist about it. Can't even say "could have" without someone coming in and saying "THANK YOU FOR NOT SAYING OF"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

It already was, the only difference is that now reddit is getting paid for it.

From now on, when you say something like "I think I can give my hoodie to my girlfriend", it will answer"and my axe""

Its going to be a poop knife wielding guy with 2 broken arms out to get those jackdaws.

It was already trained on Reddit posts. It's just now they're paying for it.

ChatGPT was already trained on Reddit data. Check this video to see how one reddit username caused bugs on it: https://youtu.be/WO2X3oZEJOA?si=maWhUpJRf0ZSF_1T

Insure and ensure.

It will also reply "Yes." to questions "is it A or B?".

And then and than.

Sure it might have some effect, but a big part of ChatGPT besides "raw" training data is RLHF, reinforcement learning from human feedback. Realistically, the bigger problem is training on AI-generated content that might have correct spelling, but hardly makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Then I did the right thing by replacing my texts with correct spelled nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Is it a showerthought if it's actually just incorrect

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And when it learns something new, the response will be "Holy Hell".

The same for Gemini, Google brought its api
