It’s a joke, but I’m 43 and my mom knew others who were pregnant around the same time and told to smoke by actual doctors so they’d have a smaller baby and easier birth.
My grandmother started smoking after her doctor suggested that she take it up in order to help her lose weight after pregnancy. She smoked the rest of her life.
On a related note, I also wonder I wonder how many older people self-treated ADHD/ADD with nicotine without realizing what was going on.
Shit. I didn't realize that I was doing this to myself until I got diagnosed as an adult about 10 years after I quit smoking.
Still do. ADHD is still not recognized in lots of places and I certainly do, in form of vape. Tried lowering concentration only to find myself smoking at higher power and more often. Also, energy drinks, I don't know what they put in them but withdrawal from them feels exactly like quitting smoking.
Did she live to be a 110 years old
Nope. Not even close.
Do you think she would have lived longer if she smoked more?
Kind of a weird passive-aggressive statement js, they didn't imply their grandma lived to be any particular age. In fact from the statement we can't tell at all, "the rest of her life" could've been 6 months (she fell asleep with a cigarette in her mouth and the set the bed on fire).
I'm 41 and my mom didn't quit but the doctor talked her into cutting down to a couple a day.
edit-also i was 10lbs and ended up the tallest in my family lol
Doctors still do this, at least in Germany. When you're a smoker and getting pregnant, your doctor will most likely not try to bully you into quitting, instead they inform you about the risks and recommend you to cut down the smoking to a minimum but they will also acknowledge that you will most likely not overcome your addiction while your body is already under a lot of stress.
Happy cake day!
That sounds like a joke from the doctor that the patient missed
I doubt it, shit was different in 1980, doctors smoked in their offices until the 90s.
Never forget just how evil tobacco companies are that they knew how addictive and damaging it was but suppressed it up for decades.
Damn, I'm def gonna start recommending smoking to any pregnant ladies i see--that's quite a life pro tip! Go figure the AI was actually right about that lol
Knowledge cutoff: 1963
This is actually healthy. My dad smoked much more than that during my pregnancy and I turned out fine.
I know a dude who's a retired doctor specializing in sports medicine (he was the team doctor for a Big 10 college football team), and he smokes like a chimney. He likes to joke that he's the 1/10 doctors that they don't quote on TV ads
Cool another lie AI-bad post
What is it with Lemmy users and not knowing what shitposting is…
Probably has to do with it not being defined except for being confusing and possibly enraging
Would posting any other lie be a "shitpost"?
It’s in the shitpost community, it’s like a textbook shitpost…
When you watch TV do you say the actors are liars because they’re not actually the characters?
It’s supposed to be stupid and ridiculous.
There is nothing the shitposting community hate more than shitposts
Yeah because when I watch TV the only expectation I have is for the actors just to state falsehoods /s
Apparently according to people like you, this community should've just been named falsehoods
It basically is named c/falsehoods, it's shitposting, I don't get why this is so hard for you.
Mate, did you really wake up this beautiful Sunday thinking it's worth dying on this hill?
not being defined except for being confusing and possibly enraging
You just defined shitposting, my guy.
Generative AI is not deterministic. The same input doesn't necessarily mean the same output every time.
I realize that, but if every one of these posts isn't reproducible it's likely that's because they're bullshit.
Ps. Thanks for the downvotes people. Make sure to say your daily curses against all AI because it BAD
You're right. People defending a shit post as both the truth and just a shit post is wild.
"why would you want a post to be funny, clever, or true? Posts should just be awful pointless garbage you just add the word shit in front of the name and it's justified"
Nope, this was real.
Google's new search AI did many errors at release. This can be found online and include but not limited to:
This was fixed manually per search topic that got viral, but they probably changed its configuration by now to trust reddit amd 4chan comments less.
AI has failed so many times it has joined the junkpile of online personalities that are so bad we can no longer tell the difference between their actual errors and those created as sarcasm.
The Dead Sarcasm Cult.
The jumping off a bridge one is especially egregious. Searching things like that usually give you the phone number for the suicide hotline, but Google decided they have to show their stupid AI before anything else.
The glue one was proven to be just a troll comment on Reddit from 12 years ago, and it fact some more were found to be just basing itsself on Reddit. Fine in theory, but did absolutely no proof check with other sources and so just took trolls as facts.
Nope, this was real.
Source? Some of these were real, but there's also a ton of fake bullshit floating around.
Alright, we get it. AI is dumb. Can we stop with this low effort bs?
No we can't. Why would we? It needs to be shown so it can be widely known.
Why is this always the reaction by AI advocates when faced with major problems in AI?
If you want to convince people that AI can potentially be a benefit and not a negative then denial is not the way.
This kind of hasty implementation of AI by tech bros should absolutely be ridiculed, since it has real world consequences.
