My name used to be Rachel but they made it illegal in my country after the Friends finale so I had to change it to Dave. It doesn't really suit me but it's nice whenever I introduce myself people are like "wow. Dave, that's such a unique name". I've only ever met one other Dave in my life and he was a total loser like me so we hit it off pretty well and got married 6 days ago at a Asian grocery store in The Dominican Republic.

I hope I meet another Dave one day so I can marry him too. I've considered changing my name back to Rachel since it doesn't seem to be illegal anymore but you know that name just doesn't suit me as well as Dave.

This sounds like the kind of almost close-to-reality story an AI would tell

[–] totally_human_emdash_user@piefed.blahaj.zone 47 points 1 week ago (5 children)

It makes me sad that we have reached a point where the very randomness that makes these kinds of stories charming (to someone with a twisted sense of humor like myself) also make them less likely to be coming from a human instead of more.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

Right, mhm, cause we all know you're totally human, right? aha, aha

[–] Schmoo@startrek.website 5 points 1 week ago

This sort of randomness seems more like the text produced by a markov chain than a modern LLM.

[–] suddenlyme@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yesterday we were having a conversatiion about how AI can only make mundane stories like Avatar.

The opposite of this.

But i feel both ae true.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

I sympathise with your username. I've picked up a habit of using dashes too, but because LLMs are apparently trained on the same writing style that I'm compulsively imitating, that habit tends to be mistaken as an identifier for LLM-slop—an understandable confusion, given that most people don't casually use it, but I tend to fall into linguistic patterns with little regard for the context I'm writing in. I'll accidentally use informalities in professional writing as well, but whereas I'll make an effort to correct my tone in professional contexts, I just can't be arsed to apply the same diligence in a casual one.

I have a note against their user, "Absurdist". I don't know whether they're using an LLM to generate these, and, to be honest, I was somewhat iritated by them at first, but I've come to enjoy their occasional bouts of weirdness in random threads.

[–] MacaqueAndCheese@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How the hell would I generate these using a Liquor License of Montreal? That makes about as much sense as shaving a kiwi to ride an airplane toy to the oven.

Honestly I miss early AI.

I miss the ugly art. I miss the weird tangents. I miss Will Smith eating spaghetti and consuming himself.

I know you can set up a quick AI to relive this... But it was better when it was the norm.

Pretty straight forward, really. It's a story as old as time.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

This reads like something Chris Simpsons Artist would say. Back when I used to use Instagram I followed his account and all of his captions were like this. It was great. Glad to see someone on Lemmy writes like him.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago

Dave's not here, man.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

All the people I know that go by Dave are 60+ years old. David is the youthful version.

I was at a party once, a little drunk, told a girl I was psychic and could guess her name. I thought it would be a good icebreaker, we would laugh at me guessing wrong etc.

I got it right. She thought I was a stalker or something and told all her friends to stay away from me.

Good times.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I had an obscure/rare name tattooed on my arm. I was at a place and this girl called out to her friend, and it was the rare name.

So I moved over to them slowly so as not to make it obvious and mid convo I said hey are you (name), she was like yeah? And I raised my sleeve. Her seing her rare name as a tattoo...the shock and stuff , her face was priceless.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Did you two fuck afterwards?

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

No, I was like 40 at my kids baseball game and she was under 20. Just a good parlor trick

Depending on the age of the person, you've got a 10% chance of getting it right if you guess Sarah.

[–] Evil_Incarnate@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

I just picked the name of someone I went to school with that looked kinda similar. In hindsight I should have used Hildegard or something.

So in high school, I had to drop out my senior year. Rumors get around and I was at one of my best buddies' birthday party. I'm talking to my ex gf and she's really down. More than I can reasonably understand. I start prying. She eventually tells me that she used to date someone who looked like me but not also like a skeleton and he just died and talking to me was really harshing her buzz. I gave her the old Forrest Whittaker eye™ and asked her what she thought my name was.

She spent the next ten minutes excitedly dashing around the party telling everyone and anyone that I was alive, so her shock seemed genuine. I should have asked her how she thought I died.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Could the other people at the party see you too, or...?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

yeah. like there had been rumors i'd died. i don't remember who started them. hell, it might have been me i was a little shit but i disappeared rather suddenly.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Rumors were so much more fun before social media and smart phones.

MG: "Shit, guys, I was supposed to be at my gf's recital - cover for me!"

Guy1: "Oh he ded."
GF: "... he's... he's -"
Guy1: "- Ded. Yeah."
GF: "... I.... I... what..."
Guy1: "Aight, take care now."

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"i had to have my butt removed, but after a few grueling years... anyways what were we talking about"

[–] NerdInSuspenders@leminal.space 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At least we know he didn’t trade in for the Shinigami eyes.
