And that’s just the false advertising. The reality is more like:
“Hey ChatGPT, I’m hungry. What should I have for lunch?”
“Uranium contains about 18 million calories…”
“Make sure to eat one small rock a day as well.”
lol I saw one for copilot which was along the lines of
“Which sweater should I wear today, red or blue”
“I can’t answer that, what are you going for”
“Hot”
“Pick red because it will make a bold statement”
🙄
That is so dumb it’s almost funny (almost).
How does it know I like sandwich? Amazing.
Wow, you like sandwich, too? We should hang out!
if i can pick the sandwich place. i’m very picky about bread.
It’s a great encapsulation of what AI does: it literally gives you the most average reply possible to any topic, yet people are treating it like some sort of oracle.
Psychics are still in business and horoscopes are still in newspapers and they pretty much do the same thing. Must be in human nature to be gullible
I’ve tried this before but the AI is very resistant to making choices for the user. The actual response is typically something like “There are many different things you could have for lunch! You should choose something to balance important factors like cost, health, speed, and taste…”
Copying my post from elsewhere
Seattle baseball is doing well this year, and there are so many ChatGPT ads. There’s one where a guy is doing pull-ups. The text shows him asking ChatGPT for help doing pull ups. The response, as printed on the ad, generously typed by me for your convenience:
8-Week Pull-up Progression plan Weekly Schedule
- Day 1 - Strength focus
- Day 2 - Rest or light activity
- Day 3 - Volume focus.
- Day 4 - Core and mobility.
- Day 5- Full-body strength (optional).
Core exercises
- Negative pull-ups - 3x5 (5-10 seconds).
- Assisted pull-ups (bands or a machine) - 3x6-10.
- Inverted rows (under a bar) - 3x8-12.
- Lat pull-downs (if gym access) - 3x10-12.
- Dead hangs - 3x30 seconds
Supporting Work
- Core - Hanging leg raises, planks, and hollow holds.
- Biceps - Hammer curls and chin-ups
- Grip - Farmer’s carries and towel hangs
- Mobility - Scapular shrugs and shoulder abduction.
Tips for Faster Progress
- Do pull-ups when fresh.
- Track your reps weekly.
- Protein and calories matter
Wow, great advice. If I knew what a hammer curl was, I probably wouldn’t need your advice that “calories matter.” Also what does 3x6-10 mean? Reps, sets, and …?
Day 1, “strength focus” what the hell does that mean? You don’t say what strength focus is. You only provided core exercises. How come hanging leg raises and planks from supporting work aren’t listed in the core exercises? If day 2 is a rest day, then what are days 6 and 7?
Like what is the plan? Do they hope you don’t even read the text? Is that why it scrolls so fast?
And this is the response that they thought was good enough to put in an ad
That is hilarious. I know this would be giving the producers too much credit here but I wish it was malicious compliance on the part. They could have copied any of the thousands of workout/food plans that already exist but chose to use
what I’m sure is chatgpt’s actual garbage reply.[Edit] OK I’m a hater but I need to take that last part back. I asked chatgpt the same question as the video and…it gave me a great reply? A decent lifting routine with explanations, and “bonus tips” on protein/sleep. And then at the end:
If you tell me:
- whether you have gym access or home setup
- your current pull-up ability (can you hang? partial pull-up? full one?)
- and how often you can train
…I’ll tailor this into a week-by-week plan with exact sets/reps and progression tracking.
Wanna do that?
So credit where credit’s due, I guess. The workout routine isn’t anything special but I see the appeal with the followup questions
Mind you, LLMs can be quite inconsistent. If you repeat the same question in new chats, you can easily get a mix of good answers, bad answers, bafflingly insane answers, and “I’m sorry but I cannot support terrorism”.
Yeah, that is definitely true. I just wanted to take back my knee jerk reaction of “OF COURSE CHATGPT WOULD SPIT OUT SOMETHING SO STUPID” after being proven wrong.
I tried it both on my phone and work PC and got different but equally decent replies. Nothing you couldn’t find elsewhere without boiling the planet, though
They really do think the consumer is that dumb or maybe they want them to be that dumb?
Babification using AI Enshitification?
How would enshittification create babification? If the product is less good them people rely on it less.
I mean AI customers ARE exactly that dumb.
Is it still enshittification if it started out shitty?
There can always be more shittification if the shareholders demand it.
wow.
such food.
much exercise
