    Odd response from Google Gemini when asked to find recent articles or opinion pieces about CBS News. It keeps responding: "I can't help with CBS yet, but I'm still learning.”

    Finally, I asked it to explain what the heck that means and it tells me the cause is "a bit of an automated 'brain fart.’"

        @tartley @newsguyusa Exactly that, but a LOT less efficient, detrimental to the entire planet and empowering social parasites.

          LLM will happily bullshit your head off until the cows come home.

          This sounds suspiciously like censorship from human input.

              @deadinside @newsguyusa you forgot the bits about mass plagiarism, undermining the value of creativity driven by actual human experience, concentrating wealth into the hands of oligarchs, being confidently unreliable, and inducing learned helplessness and psychosis in users.

                        @dacmot @newsguyusa it DOES sound like that, I agree, but with this technology, there is absolutely no way to know. Attempting to divine insight into how it arrived at that particular output, or what the actual ground truth is that it has been asked about, is not just impossible and a waste of time, but is actively harmful, promoting the inference of patterns by the user where there is nothing but faces in the clouds.

                          Thanks @tartley for mansplaining LLMs to me. I didn't know questioning authority was harmful now. I'll be sure to refrain from it in the future.

                            @dacmot @newsguyusa apologies, it was not my intent to criticize your post at all. I was motivated more by the original toot to which we were both responding. A medium high profile news account that was examining the entrails, to which I wanted to give some pushback. My bad that I was unclear and therefore offensive.

                                Translated from LLM: Google has built in censorship of CBS. The "explanations" provided by the bot have no connection with reality.
