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

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 6 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Schmoo@startrek.website 6 points 4 months ago

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

[-] suddenlyme@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago

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.

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 11 points 4 months ago

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.

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.

Dave's not here, man.

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.

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

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 4 months 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.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 39 points 4 months ago

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 4 months ago

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

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

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 4 months ago

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

What english speaking country has both 'high school' and trains?

Edit: ok turns out the twitter account is based in LA

[-] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 24 points 4 months ago

New York City

England doesn't have high school, here it's secondary school and sixth form

[-] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

I went to a high school in England. We had first (1-4) middle (5-8) high school (9-11).

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

When/where was this? I thought the system I had in east anglia was standard across the country

[-] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

West Midlands, about 20 years ago. You would think there'd be some standardisation, but the more people I meet the more random it all seems.

I also had this format but apparently it's not usual. I'm guessing by your username you're Scottish, or at least Northern

[-] howrar@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 months ago

We have both of these things in Canada.

We have trains in Utah, and high schools.

We haven't been known for trains in a while, but America

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago

I guess he could have meant subway by train

[-] bytesonbike@discuss.online 5 points 4 months ago

I live in three different cities and in those cities, people use train, subway, and trolley interchangeably.

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