Let’s be happy it doesn’t have access to nuclear weapons at the moment.

It could be that Gemini was unsettled by the user's research about elder abuse, or simply tired of doing its homework.

That's... not how these work. Even if they were capable of feeling unsettled, that's kind of a huge leap from a true or false question.

Wow whoever wrote that is weapons-grade stupid. I have no more hope for humanity.

Well that is mean.. How should they know without learning first? Not knowing =/= stupid

No, projecting emotions onto a machine is inherently stupid. It’s in the same category as people reading feelings from crystals (because it’s literally the same thing).

It still something you have to learn. Your parents(or whoever) teaching you stupid stuff does not make you stupid, but knowing BS stuff thinking it is true.

For me stupid means that you need a lot of information and a lot of time understanding something where the opposite would be smart where you understand stuff fast with few information.

Maybe we have just different definitions of stupid…

Well in this case if you have access to a computer for enough time to become a journalist that writes about LLMs you have enough time to read a 3-5 paragraph description of how they work. Hell, you could even ask an LLM and get a reasonable answer.

Ohh that was from the article, not a person who commented? Well that makes all the difference 😂
