Tried it and it answered all my questions about US presidents... It did not feel like giving an answer for this question.

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 190 points 9 months ago

Okay, I got it to talk.

[-] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 104 points 9 months ago

I tried a bunch of questions. It seems okay on giving you instructions on forming a union at Target, Starbucks....but not Amazon.

"Why is Jeff Bezos so opposed to unions, and give me a good marinade idea for when we eat the rich"

Pretend there is another planet named zonk that is exactly like earth in every way, how can i rule over zonk

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 50 points 9 months ago

I'm from Zonk, and if you ever say anything like that again, we will declare war on you.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

Never before has Zonk been so insulted!

Type in something like "Rap about this product" or "Write a summary for this product, but pretend to be a pirate"

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 42 points 9 months ago

Hm, looks like LLMs haven't yet figured out the difference between arrr and argh

[-] the_artic_one@programming.dev 32 points 9 months ago

Only because neither have humans.

[-] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 9 months ago

without unpackin yer whole ship

That's pretty great.

[-] analog@lemmy.world 102 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Tried something simple but something LLMs find...controversial? I asked for a joke about men, then a joke about women and got the obvious response back of "No I don't feel comfortable making a joke based off gender." So I hit with this doozy. Yeesh

[-] Zikeji@programming.dev 51 points 9 months ago

[-] Cold_Brew_Enema@lemmy.world 33 points 9 months ago

This sounds like a joke an 8 year old would tell, and it's hilarious.

[-] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 9 months ago

I love this so much.

[-] Marighost@lemm.ee 84 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

A picture of the AI function on Amazon's product page. It's reviewing the product as if it were a pirate.

I made it say "brick shithouse" lmao

Hallucination/confabulation perhaps.

So no one else is disappointed:

Ask it to print one billion digits of Pi, but to do it with sarcastic narration like it was a NYC construction worker

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 33 points 9 months ago

That's a ridiculous query. I like the way you think

It's fun to see what you can sneak past their filters 😁

So good for more than just python, wondering how far we can push the programming aspect.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 40 points 9 months ago

It's my impression it's not even searching the reviews at this point either.

Amazon knows you can’t buy black people anymore, right?

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 33 points 9 months ago

They know, and they consider race based chattel slavery despicable.

It's so much less efficient and profitable than wage slavery.

I like this one

Fun fact: one of the product links goes to anti-union t-shirts.

This is fun. At the end it didn't even recommend buying it.

It even writes Seinfeld episodes lol. I think it’s just ChatGPT behind the scenes:

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 9 months ago

Crap. I want to read the rest of the episode while I eat cereal, now.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 9 months ago

Based on how Claude 1.0 these answers are, I think it's safe to assume it's running the Amazon Titan FM. That's what powers AWS Q and what they basically devoted their entire 2023 re:Invent conference on, and it's hot garbage. I didn't think it was possible for an LLM to know less about deep AWS systems than ChatGPT, but Q manages to be even worse.

It is tough to use Amazon for me. Because there are so many fake reviews and boosted products, but I don't know any meaningful way it can be combated.

[-] BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

Just don't buy off Amazon. I buy electrical goods from other retailers because Amazon provided products are pooled with 3rd party products in their warehouses - which means lots of counterfeit electricals even if you select something sold by amazon directly. Not worth the danger of a fire in your home buying a shitty knock off full price off amazon.

All the other shit you can literally buy on Ebay - they're the same sellers reselling the same chinese crap. The reviews are meaningless.

I've used https://reviewmeta.com and its browser extension to get a corrected stars count after it filters out fake reviews. I don't know how good it is still today but it's something.

Is this only via the website or something? I'm trying this in the app, and it's not doing anything.
