These advertising companies have gone too far

Not sure why you included “on the phone” in that list?

I have never even looked at the Docker docs

When AI Overview was in beta in May 2023, it was really bad. Infamous example:

People milked it for memes. But at some point, Google fixed it, so to keep farming engagement, people had to start making fake screenshots and pretended that they were real.

And it’s really easy to fake:

Have you interacted with AI in the past two years?

Of course LLMs are capable of generating factual information. An LLM wouldn’t lie if you asked “is the earth round?”. But an LLM won’t generate factual information every time, because as much as the technology is getting hyped up, it’s still quite limited and probably will be for the foreseeable future.

But when the answer is obvious and well-known, they are good enough. Just pop OP’s question into any chatbot. They all, including Google’s AI overview, give “no” here.

A state-of-the-art glorified autocorrect will not send “Absolutely!” as the first few tokens after “can cockroaches live in your penis”. That’s GPT-2 level stuff.

Cape Town is not representative of the rest of the country (it’s the wealthy city) and only has about 8% of the population. The visualization doesn’t have data for the more representative cities, i.e. Johannesburg, Durban (eThekwini), Germiston (Ekhruleni) and Pretoria (Tshwane), which collectively have 3-4 times the population and I believe are the most likely contributors to the high walking figures found from the National Household Travel Survey (2013).

There’s no way only 8% of people in South Africa walk. There’s something wrong with how they’re collecting the data.

Walking is the most common mode of transport used in the country, with about 17.4 million South Africans walking to their various destinations, followed by 10.7 million individuals who made use of taxis and 6.2 million who used car/truck as a driver.

Anyone who actually lives here can confirm walking is the primary mode of transport. Not because the infrastructure facilitates it, because it doesn’t, but rather out of financial necessity.

That’s what I thought at first. But the fact that you now say “i’ll stop trying to sound professional and just stick to my actual brain” while still using AI just makes it worse

Writing all of your comments with ChatGPT isn’t doing you any favors.

I’m with you, but in my case it’s about comfort. Most places don’t have ergonomic seating, and I have a hard time focusing when I’m not comfortably seated

Unless the screen is horizontally polarized, in which case you won’t see a thing unless you tilt your head 90°
