A Boring Dystopia

On the very long list of shitty things about AI is the fact that they are non-deterministic.

I was however able to get this fuckup on first try:

I just tried this one and got:

There are 2 t's in the word colonialism:

colonialism

They are located at the end of the word: the t and i at the end of the sequence.

They usually include some randomness in the responses which is why they don’t always respond the same way (and sometimes will even often but not always get the answer correct, or visa versa).

I tried it, and got similiar shorter answers but not the exact same answer. Sometimes it ends up getting it right at the end after fumbling a lot, and sometimes it just fails completely.

Searching on Google directly sometimes doesn't produce the AI Overview on stuff like these in my experience, but passing the search to Google from DDG with the bang (!g) almost always produces the AI Overview.

edit: I tried it again and it grew the ability of humor:

There are 2 't's in the word colonialism. colt-a-ca-l-i-s-m (just kidding) C-o-l-o-n-i-a-l-i-s-m:

• t = 0 (If you were thinking of colonization, there is still only 1 't' in the word.)

Interestingly, on one of my attempts it used python to count the number of t's and still ended up getting the "verbal" explanation wrong.

funnily enough, usually I can't reproduce these, but this one I could. It's not quite as unhinged but still definetly very wrong

Is this actually real though?

Wait the seahorse emoji is not real???

Yeah, it's pretty efficient at that. When the strawberry version was around, CGPT wrote some python and executed it after asking it programatically

I can't believe Google missed that third 't' the first time around. So sloppy.
