Toronto FC - San Jose Earthquakes (Saturday, 5/2) pre/in/postgame thread [R]

Don't trust and verify AI. . . and that tie was another comeback result!

 

Onto another Canadian team!

 

Gee, and here I was going to compliment falvo on the nice formatting…

 

You can still give me an A for effort!

 

Ok I do give you an A for effort, favo!

 

I did ask AI about the Quakes potential buyers and/or sale and all they gave me was a bunch of double talk so I also don't trust or believe them completely.

I do think they are a better than Wikipedia though….

 

Google AI and others use wikipedia heavily. It's the same old problem though. Not everything you read on the internet is true. AI's not gonna fix that.

 

This is pretty outdated but we can all probably blame the misinformation on Reddit (I have no idea how things have changed or improved):

 

Also this is worth considering if you think everyone (and every LLM) is out to get you.

Wow, Reddit. There’s no kind of crowd-sourced curation like there is at least at some level with wiki. I suppose if you see the same information multiple times it strengthens it, but otherwise I’m not sure how they verify it. Of course if you ask AI for reviews on something rather than some fact, it is just reporting those reviews in some kind of consensus.

 

I've seen AI quote Reddit.

Reddit though is just different people's opinions and articles posted.

 

exactly... you can influence the LLM by responding to your own question on Reddit... right or wrong.

 

Everyone believes in conspiracies. Everyone. For example, you either believe in "Russian Collusion", collusion being a conspiracy, or you believe it was a fabrication concocted by a conspiracy.

The law recognizes the existence of conspiracies. They exist and have always existed since there were at least three persons on earth. It is a cognitive bias to deny the existence of conspiracies. And it serves the purpose of those who engage in them.

Whether any given conspiracy exists or not is a factual question, but to dismiss an idea as a "conspiracy theory" is a mark of a deluded person.

 

Aren’t you all glad that I derailed this thread initially with my post about Tommy Thompson?

 

Yes.

 

Exactly!

This thread has been more informative and exciting than the TFC match!

 

So the earth *is* flat!!
