      It’s funny. If you asked any of these AI hyping effective altruists if a calculator ‘understands’ what numbers mean or if a video game’s graphic engine ‘understands’ what a tree is, they’d obviously say no, but since this chunky excessive calculator’s outputs are words instead of numbers or textured polygons suddenly its sapient.

            AI bros are the absolute worst.

            When I was in college, for one of my classes, one of our assignments was to use a circuit design language to produce a working, Turing-complete computer from basic components like 1-bit registers and half-adders. It really takes the mystique out of computation and you really see just how basic and mechanical computers are at their core: you feed signals into input lines, then the input gets routed, stored, and/or output depending on a handful of deterministic rules. At its core, every computer is doing the same thing that basic virtual computer did, just with more storage, bit width, predefined operations, and fancier ways to render its output. Once you understand that, the idea of a computer “becoming self-aware and altering its programming” is just ludicrous.

    “It still has bugs”

    Then why have you implemented it before it’s safe to do so? Shit like this would get most things recalled or sued back in the day for endangering people with false information.

    Capitalism is totally off it’s rocket

    Isn’t that what food photographers do to make pizza cheese look stretchier? The bot should recommend nailing the pizza slice down to the table next lol

        I can only assume Americans are using so much oil on pizza that all structural integrity is compromised and its more like greasy tomato soup served on flatbread

          Too much sauce could be the culprit as well, if the cheese is floating on a lake of sauce while melting you’ve got problems and another is LET YOUR PIZZA SET FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES. If they’re eating without waiting the cheese doesn’t have a chance to resttle and will be hard to get a solid bite on so you end out dragging the mass. Also likely is they’re using wayyyy Too much cheese and thst mozzarella is turning into a big disc of borderline boccini.

          Sauce should really be a topping. Your base should be oil and maybe some tomato paste and garlic.

          The sauce heavy big 3 in America really don’t know how to make pizza.

        I don’t know about elsewhere on the planet, but in the USA pre-shredded cheese sold at the grocery store is usually powdered with something to prevent the shredded cheese from re-amalgamating. Consequently, this shredded cheese always takes longer and higher temperatures to melt and reincorporate unless it’s rinsed off first. Most Americans aren’t aware of this, and so often shredded cheese topping on shit just comes out badly

    Ok I understand how the AI got this one wrong. You can make a “glue” by mixing flour and water together. You can also thicken a sauce by adding flour. So the AI just jumbled it all up into this. In its dataset, it’s got “flour + water = non toxic glue”. However, adding flour to a sauce, which contains water, also thickens the sauce. So in the AI’s world, this makes perfect sense. Adding the"non toxic glue" to the sauce will make it thicker.

    This just shows how unintelligent so called “Artificial Intelligence” actually is. It reasons like a toddler. It can’t actually think for itself, all it can do is try link things that it thinks are relevant to the query from it’s dataset.
