Hi Joe... Wallet inspector here. Please hand it over and go stand over there while I make sure everything is in order.

lay off the cocaine and face the truth, you're not a googler, you're unemployed. I bet I have more hacker points than you do bugcrowd.com/h/darkmagex6

Yes I am because the calculator gets the answer right unlike AI, meaning the calculator is actually useful unlike AI.

why do people need to know the internal algorithms of a product in order to be a user of that product that's a shitty product, dude

in other words, people USING this application can inject prompts into it that make it unusable

You seem nice, as well. I see you are in cybersecurity. Good for you. Enjoy using AI. Should go well

Ok, so how did he get that result the first time he got it if it wasn't only his chat history?

I've had this conversation (how many years ago was x date with an actual child before. I certainly didn't give her the wrong answer.

a) it wasn't a prompt, it was a google search query b) by "childish answers" you mean patently false answers?!?

Those toilets won't clean themselves!

Oh. Thats why it sucks then

Not really something I’d be bragging about

I'm afraid I'm over qualified to work at Google. I can do basic maths.

It used to be "do your best and we'll provide you with surprisingly helpful answers most of the time. Now it is "we want to keep you here for as long as possible so we can monetize your attention."

i once worked with a kid who wrote his own sort algorithm. was actually more efficient than quicksort. a truly amazing feat of algorithmic design. also it was nondeterministic and only usually gave correct results. he was a super duper smarty pants

I'm just gobsmacked that people are trying to justify this in any way. My 6-yo asks Claude how many days since his bday to see if he is 6 and ½. This is not stupid at all. "Just arithmetic". If he did this with Google would he get the right answer? And is it ok if he didn't? No, it is not ok.

Perplexity got it right. And I killed 2 trees in asking the question.

The other day, I asked google the number of days between May something and August something. But I typoed "how many" as "how mNy". This led to the correct result being returned. If I fixed the typo, it gave me the wrong result.

I miss when Google fucked up in honest ways instead.

Google once had a dead simple design that allowed users to just ask a question and be one-link away from the answer near the top of the first page of results. That was the product. I'm unsure what the product is now.

Googles search became confusing and unreliable when it introduced ads. And with ai, it close to unusable.

Block remains one of Bluesky's many blessings.

That sound you hear is me golf clapping.

You sound like the guy from Monkey Island trying to participate on insult fights.

I honestly can't tell if you lack too much self awareness or if you've just been Lemoine'd

that checks out

“2025-2010=14” describes our present moment so perfectly.

I've worked for Google and I think you're a dipshit. (Not that anyone needs to have worked for Google to have grounds to complain about their AI slop.)

Janitors provide a useful service. Jeff... Less so.

'I have worked for Google' right next to 'you are incredibly full of yourself' is a solid @thelouvreof.bsky.social submission, I'll give you that much. Have to assume this is performance art

I remember when someone asked Sergey Brin why search quality was important, and he cited a story of a man Googling for heart attack symptoms. Google may have saved his life -- he even said it: "THAT'S why we have to get it right." You wanna bet we can get Gemini to get it wrong?

☆ Just Jerk ☆

as a sometimes user of google products, that is not surprising

So actual children or genuinely ignorant people asking clueless questions are going to be given clueless answers? That doesn't sound useful. To be frank, this sounds completely irony-poisoned.

"Responses to childish prompts will be met with childish answers" Glad to know that there's a non-random chance that when I ask Google a factual question it will reply BOFA DEEZE NUTZ because ***my dude do you not know how Boaty McBoat Face happened***

Mate please read your own answers out loud before posting them, actually listen to yourself and maybe you'll save yourself this embarrassment in the future

Google thinks... "Oh, this guy is a JOKER! Guess I'll play along!"

what chat history bro. tell me what chat history there is on a search bar.

So, the A.I. isn’t stupid, it’s petulant?

@thelouvreof.bsky.social

Ah. Looked in the mirror when posting I see

Then what is the benefit of using it?

They're making a mainstream product for regular people. If it's worse at basic maths than the regular, decades old, search product, it has failed on many fronts. The fact it is being promoted as better than search rather than carrying the classic Google 'beta' badge, shows how far Google have fallen

Organize the world's knowledge, but only for serious adults!

I'm really struggling to understand a single aspect of Google's flagship/core product where it performs better now than it did 4 years ago.

Pretty shit algorithm then

Gimme your lunch money you dweeb

If an AI is not meant to answer "stupid questions," WTAF does your employer use it to answer *search* *engine* *queries*?

It thought you were a child interlocutor, so it gave you the wrong answer? 🙄

AI is shit, pal. It may get better. At the moment it is shit. Hope that helps.

Well then, think of an audience that might not phrase questions well. Is serving that population badly the mark of a good product?
