Name a recent model and version you have tried, and how you found it wanting.

Again. Bullshit. I just had Gemini do it with the prompt "make up a nonsense words." . It came up with "Flabbergustle". I then asked Gemini where it found the word, to which it replied:

I actually minted it fresh just for you!

Since you asked for a "nonsense" word, I used a bit of linguistic alchemy—combining the DNA of flabbergasted (surprised) and bustle (energetic movement). The result is a word that sounds like it should exist in a Victorian novel or a Dr. Seuss book, but it’s 100% made up.

The only one who didn't do their due diligence is you. You have literally zero clue. You don't have even the most basic understanding of how LLMs work. You get all of your information from clueless idiots like you, here on Slashdot.

Bullshit

Have you ever made a cake from scratch? This is what happens when you rely on Google for all of your knowledge. People make things from scratch and follow recipes to do it all the time. They also reference pictures in recipe books, etc. You don't have to grind your own flour to make a cake from scratch, nor do you have to remember the process without referring to implementations or design your own recipe. Again, arguing about the term is intended to take a away from the discussion. It is a red herring used to build a strawman. Period.

Nothing you wrote was original. Every one of those words is available on the internet. Therefore, by your argument, you didn't write that post "from scratch." Your post is dangerous, because some business leaders might conclude that you came up with that post on your own and think that you are capable of critical thinking, when it was clearly "a trick" designed to make you sound intelligent. Also, you clearly did zero research on what was done and how it was done, and made absolutely no attempt to have a clue what you were talking about before making your ridiculous post.

"If I claimed I had written my own C compiler from scratch and then this came out in an interview, I don't think I would be hired." At no time did the researchers claim that "from scratch" meant that it wasn't acceptable to use any reference materials or implementations as examples. The compiler was implemented in Rust and GCC is primarily C++, so yes it was implemented "from scratch" in Rust. Of course, you need to try claim that the use of said phrase is the important point and argue against that to try to make it seem like this wasn't a major accomplishment. Finally, it was never claimed that the AI instances could team up and land a job via an interview process, so really at least 2 strawmen.

You suck at building strawmen

You clearly didn't understand a word I wrote.

How stupid are you? You've never heard of intelligent people "making stuff up." Stop and think. I'm not saying that I can rightly prove that AIs think. All I am saying is that every behavior that you all keep saying is proof they don't is not such proof. If they think they will exhibit behaviors that thinking beings exhibit. If they were perfect that would be proof that they don't think.

No. I pointed out that some discussion had occurred and that it would likely increase significantly once the game actually started (30 in days vs 11 in minutes.) That is exactly what happened. I can see why you are upset. A lot of people can't handle it when they make an absurd post and someone isn't afraid to point out why the post is absurd. Grow up and get over yourself. If you don't you are in for a rough ride in life. And thank you for not replying anymore. I prefer replies that involve maturity and intelligence to those like yours. Off you go now ...

Why are you anthropomorphizing LLMs?

So about as many additional posts as in this thread in the same timeframe then? OMG! I knew it! you are all bots!

I'm at a house where numerous people reside. While I overheard a couple of quick exchanges earlier today, none of them are talking about the game either. It's almost like the game hasn't even started yet!

There is a lot of anecdotal evidence being advanced from people here that reading isn't a lost art because they themselves read. None of this matters. Ask 100 random people on the street when they last read a book, or even to name a book. I promise you that most will look at you with a blank expression before coming up empty. Many of them, despite claiming to be Christian, won't even think of the Bible. Studies abound that show that the youth has been programmed to lose interest in reading when the subject matter requires more than a FB post worth of words.

Right. Everyone knows that intelligence means never making mistakes, never repeating what you have heard elsewhere, and never imagining shit that never happened! It always cracks me up how you AI "experts" claim that any proof of imperfection is an indication of lack of thought, when it is actually an indication of yours.
