Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Many people I know are also using LLMs for searching stuff.
Its just baffling how they can trust a single answer frankensteind together from often unknown sources presented as a fact.
Jeez we are fucked, aren't we?
2 weeks ago I had an issue with my hardware Steam Link setup. For some reason picture would freeze but sound would still go. It is connected over ethernet so I ruled out connection issues. Googling lead me to nowhere. Adding "reddit" to search had no effect. Then I just decided to try chatgpt. It gave me few things I can try and lo and behold, second suggestion was what I was looking for.
There are things I would rather not ask LLMs. But when I have no clue what to even write in google search bar, I'd rather go for LLM because it can lead me to what I am searching for and from there I can continue my own research.
yeah i feel that, but i also feel the guilt of using 3 glasses of water to cool down the computer that answered me.
at any rate, please do not use grok.
elon is cooling his penis computer with aquifer drinking water from the memphis sands aquifer.
he promised to build a grey water plant, but, y’all won’t believe this… he didn’t. hasn’t even broken ground on the construction.
also, he’s powering grok with generators that have led to ~74% increase in the shittiness of the air quality in memphis from generators’ exhaust pipes.
please do not use grok.
Have been long before LLMs to be fair. It's just that we are taking on speed going down that spiral.
Breathtakingly fucked.
Is it really that much different from the types of people who would believe the first (often bias-confirming) answer they found on Google?
My 10 yr old figured it out when googles AI couldn't tell the difference between spiderman: miles Morales and spiderman 2. "Why is it trying to give me trophies for the old game?"
That's a great lesson for them though! If it's bad at something you're familiar with, what else does it have wrong?
Me when podcasters I like start talking about a subject I'm very informed in
I miss back when podcasts were just folks pissing about, I remember listening to one back in middle school where it was just a couple of guys talking about weird shit they found on the internet while slowly getting increasingly shit faced.
Dead Internet theory is becoming more and more plausible by the day.
Doesn't ChatGPT also use google?
I tested this whole concept with Mistral AI. It searches the web, aggregates its findings and provides an answer highlighting potential perspectives / different answers with each one providing a link to the source URL. As much as I hate AI, it does work great that way (since the LLM doesn't have to pull stuff out of its butt).
Are you certain that the answer was actually from their sources? I had multiple occasions where Mistral/ChatGPT gave me sources and I felt like something was off. I then followed the sources and could not find what they found according to themselves. I then asked them to quote the actual text they used to provide said answer and after drilling them a few more times they concluded that yes, the thing they said was actually not anywhere to be found in the sources they provided.
Mmh, perhaps I lucked out or missed something. Everything looked good when I tested it.
I'm one of those. I would prefer to google for results, but current day google is perfectly useless even for very obvious searches...
Then use a different search engine… Don’t rely on AI to use the internet.
