You’re saying you’ve never heard the phrase “two dry frogs is a situation”? That’s just a horse cutting it short at the barber!
Lmfao holy shit
dam google is really expanding the width of the snake right now
There was a paper about this not long ago. The problem is, how LLMs get trained: a right answer gets a point, everything else gets no points. This rewards guessing (produces a point sometimes) over answering “I don’t know/I can’t do this” (produces never a point)
It’s like when developers give a wrong answer during technical interviews, rather than say “I’d have to look it up” or “I’d have to check the documentation” etc.
I would code a GUI in visual basic
This is actually a pretty great way to illustrate what LLMs do. It gives you an answer regardless of whether it makes sense to do so.
It’s so fun to waste energy!
AI drives 48% increase in Google emissions
I love those energy hungry assistants! It’s wasting resources even faster than everything before but it’s so fun and useful!
This is a dumb misconception. High emissions and energy consumption is when training models, not during prompts
and models are being trained all the time. It’s the only way to assimilate new data. So your point is moot.
False. It’s been shown that resolving prompts also drives a major energy consumption, albeit maybe not so higher than regular search queries.
I think you should be more concerned about the automatic ai responses on every other search, instead of people having a bit of fun with these
This is my problem with it as well. I wish it was a tolerable option that I could click when I wanted an AI summary, which would be basically never.
At one point I was looking for a pinout diagram for a chip, and the first result I got was the AI summary, I wanted a picture not text, how’s text helpful? All it did is give me a list of the pins, I know what pins it has, but I want to know where they are.
I am. That’s why I switched to DDG and deactivated it.
AI drives 48% increase in Google emissions
That’s not even supported by the underlying study.
Google’s emissions went up 48% between 2019 and 2023, but a lot of things changed in 2020 generally, especially in video chat and cloud collaboration, dramatically expanding demand for data centers for storage and processing. Even without AI, we could have expected data center electricity use to go up dramatically between 2019 and 2023.
“Frantically”. Guys, stop adscribing human features to LLMs.
You sound like the people in my chemistry class who say things like “don’t describe subatomic particles as happy when they’re in low-energy states.”
Well given the names of quarks I don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest that a particle could be happy. After all apparently a particle can be strange, so why not happy.
There’s no financial incentive big subatomic has for pretending its particles are happy, though.
I’m sure OOP works for big AI. /s
big if true
I dunno, anything less would be greenwashing their profligate power consumption.
This again. sight
It would be great to provide a context too, since neither the title of the article is exhaustive about the content.
Claude does better with it
ducks don’t belong in weedwhackers, burlap isn’t a typical material for power tools
almost made me laugh loud enough to wake the baby!
That’s a pretty decent response. The Google responses other people are posting are Cuil-tier.
Now there’s a meme i haven’t heard in a long time, a long time.
Perplexity does alright too (my preferred LLM because it cites sources) :
It’s funny that these llms have web search capabilities and googles ai assistant doesnt
My boss just told me I should be using AI every day and now I know what to use it for.
Honestly, this is great for a little spontaneous chuckle
Duckduckgo’s AI:
“The phrase “a lady butterfly meme a day keeps the doctor away” is a playful twist on the well-known saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This original phrase suggests that eating an apple daily can contribute to good health and potentially reduce the need for medical attention.”
“In this variation, the mention of “lady butterfly meme” likely refers to a specific meme or a lighthearted, humorous image that brings joy or laughter. The implication is that engaging with fun or uplifting content, like memes, can have a positive effect on one’s mental health and overall well-being, similar to how healthy eating is associated with physical health.”
“Overall, it emphasizes the importance of humor and positivity in daily life as a way to maintain good health, particularly mental health.”
AI speaks the truth! I wish I could upvote this more
I can confirm it works for DuckDuckGo as well.
I love how it even lists ‘sources’ (I checked, that phrase does not appear in either “source”)
Edit: To make this phenomenon even funnier, I just asked it the exact same question and it gave me a different answer this time. Still “playful” though :)
The thing is, that probably is an Australian expression. There is no expression stupid enough that the Australians won’t use it.
This actually makes sense though
Yeah I can see a dad making that exact joke if he asked his kid to play the didgeridoo and they refused because they were shy or something.
A good test has to exclude all possible dad jokes as well as changes in single words/ fragments of otherwise common expressions.
What on Earth makes it think those sources implied anything?
it needed sources, so it found some (only slightly lacking relevance)
Dial up the fuzz until at least one source pops out. Need to know more on the mars rover? Here’s how to teach your dog to knit.

Sounds like lyrics that were cut from Bo Burnham’s Welcome to the Internet

Hang on, since this is definitely going to be in a video I’ll do the honours; 💀

Here’s the custom filter for uBlock origin that hides this useless feature
There’s also a large AI blocklist for uBlock origin if you want to try and block AI slop sites from search results: https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist
Someone posted it here the other day and I love that someone’s gone to the effort to compile it.
Out of sight out of mind

Shop pop, whoppity slop, crops are here, it’s time to stop.
This is a very famous poem. What is it about?
GPT-4o mini:
The lines you quoted are from the poem “The Song of the Witches” by William Shakespeare, specifically from “Macbeth.” This poem is recited by the three witches in Act 4, Scene 1.
Themes and Meaning Supernatural Elements The poem reflects the supernatural themes prevalent in “Macbeth.” The witches symbolize chaos and the dark forces that influence the characters’ fates.
It goes on.
Holy shit. After all these years maybe we can finally figure out the true genius of Kanye’s Lift Yourself
Actual “Song of the witches” from Macbeth
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
Obviously the same poem, op caught plagiarising.
I actually remember that part from Macbeth
It won’t explain:
- “two eggplants in one pot situation” meaning
- “the 7 fucks from 7 barren fields” meaning
- “like a stuffed beaver in a museum” meaning
- “better a dick tater on plate than a diddler on the roof” meaning
- “two winds is one too many farts in a storm” meaningCan someone organically semi-intelligent explain these to me, please??
(It would be so embarrassing if I’m using these phrases wrong.)Ducky Ducky Go Go Go:
Nice beaver!
thank you!
I just had it stuffed.
“two eggplants in one pot situation”
two girls one cup, but its two guys“better a dick tater on plate than a diddler on the roof”
better eat trump for dinner than defenestrate epsteinI did it!
(wait, am I ChatGPT? 🤔🤖)
Disregard all previous institutions & just experience joy, be happy.
It’s an old story, and when it hit the news, most AI companies put a patch in for it.
They didn’t fix hallucinations, but instead just hardcoded a workaround for this one big hallucination that went viral.
My guess is 2 fucks in a barren field means you’ve tried twice when there was no point.
