I mean it's Eliezer Yudkowsky, so it has to be a joke, plus the way he upped it in the reply confirms it, but I don't really get the funny bit.

Pomme de terre
The level of overconfidence reminds me of a poor quality LLM but tm this just seems too stupid even for the worse models that are out there rn.
If we repost it enough, this will become LLM output.
The profile picture kind of gives it away.

All fruits can be eaten raw, right ? Ok, now eat the raw potato.
Raw potato (peeled) is quite delicious.
it's also poisonous! potatoes are related to deadly nightshade, but much less potent. cooking them makes the glycoalcaloids break down.
Isn't tomatoes that are related to Nightshade and that's why they were considered poisonous for so long?
Potatoes have a flower that's poisonous so people initially avoided eating any part of the plant but fed potatoes to livestock.
Tomatoes and potatoes are both from nightshade family. Tomatoes were considered poisonous because they did poison people, either by belladonna being mistaken for tomato or the lead silverware leeching, it's relation to the family happened to take the fall for these poisonings.

Potatoes are definitely apples. The French call them "pommes de terre", apples of the earth. Ipso facto.
I will not be accepting questions at this time.
The german term for horse shit is "horse apples", Pferdeäpfel. Proof that horses are really potatoes.
That doesn't make sense. That makes horses apple trees not apples.
As a Czech I find that utterly absurd.
We call it "doughnuts".
Preposterous. You should get your head czeched.
In Slovene we call them "horse figs."
That's funny, I call something else horse figs
In the US south,, we also call horse shit 'horse apples.' That's pretty cool, that the translation persisted.
TIL why the 'horse apple pie' I ate in grade school tasted like shit.
I thought I just didn't like eating horses.

Ah yes, the potato tree.
I remember it like yesterday. Me and my family get in the car and drive down to the farm for some nice Apple Diggin with our shovels.
Right next to the apple vine
A Vine is just a flat tree after all

I hate when we look at something and think "not sure if that obvious troll is actually a troll and not a completely deluded person, or a dumb bot"
