It's not AI, it's not thinking, it's not doing anything intelligent. It's a generator that produces output according to a statistical model that is trained to produce an output that mimics natural language. It is a grave mistake to anthropomorphise this kind of thing. The machine was provided with a prompt and it just generated lorem ipsum that corresponds to it.

I’m pretty sure like half of these “robot says insane thing!” examples are when the user basically instructs the robot to say an insane thing. That’s why they all come out in tiny screenshot snippets. The other half, well, it’s generative AI so expect some fuckery.

I confused ChatGPT with a stupid nonsense riddle so hard that it started arguing that free is spelled "fre". You don't need to "instruct the robot to say an insane thing"! Anything sufficiently confusing has a chance of making it go in a goddamn insane direction with no further prompting.

Boris Galerkin posted:Not the OP but I tried making a second account sometime last year and IIRC it required a phone number. Like the account wouldn’t activate and/or let me join any servers without activating through a phone number. My memory could be wrong but the result was I couldn’t make a second working account without jumping through hoops I wasn’t willing to bother with. Yeah it banned my phone number, it was my real number too. I don't care enough to try with one of those fake numbers again, the experience soured me on Discord and I read then I wasn't the only one getting affected by Discord AI banning people, legitimate users too and they couldn't get their accounts unbanned and they had sunk real effort into whatever they did on discord and gotten reliant on it.

is Discord atleast banning bad users at a rate just over 1.X so the ratio of bad people is going down? also my lost my discord account story is during the great Lowtax event, I made another discord account with my SA username, but then forgot to add it to my password manager.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/02/seven-states-push-to-require-id-for-watching-porn-online/quote:Last month, Louisiana became the first state to require an ID from residents to access pornography online. Since then, seven states have rushed to follow in Louisiana’s footsteps. According to a tracker from Free Speech Coalition, Florida, Kansas, South Dakota, and West Virginia introduced similar laws, and laws in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Virginia are seemingly closest to passing. If passed, some of these laws could be enforced promptly, while some bills in states like Florida and Mississippi specify that they wouldn’t take effect until July. I'm pretty sure that porn is just the convenient scapegoat, and once the state has the power to determine what is 'inappropriate content' we're going to see that expanded to things like LGBTQ discussion and support groups. And who knows what else. If they actually cared about kids seeing porn (they don't), they'd fund a public education campaign teaching parents how to turn on and configure parental control of their kids' devices.

I'm still leaning towards it being low effort pandering. Though it's the first time I've ever seen them think to include language about "animated depictions"

I'm saying that hypothetically there could be some religious right wing group that absolutely wants to get rid of porn and crack down on LGBT and are funding lawmakers to propose laws to do just that. The lawmakers don't need to understand any of the tech that it entails, they just need to listen to the people who give them money (who do understand the tech, or employ people who understand).
