That’s a good summary. Google Gemini is no better. Type in a question and it starts off great but then devolves into other brands, other steps to do something that isn’t related to the thing you asked. It’s just terrible and someone will sue them over it next year. Just wait.

I switched to duckduckgo before this bullshit, but this would 100% make me switch if I hadn't already.

Who wants random ai gibberish to be the first thing they see?

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

If search engines don’t improve to address the AI problem, most of the Internet will be AI gibberish.

Better than an Ad I guess? Not sure if my searches haven't returned any AI stuff like this or if my brain is already ignoring them like ads.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

The plan is to monetize the AI results with ads.

I'm not even sure how that works, but I don't like it.

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

DuckDuckGo started showing AI results for me.

I think it uses the bing engine iirc.

I checked it, it’s true. Side note: it’s “the saté of AI.” FTFY. From what I’ve heard it’s even better than 🍿to sit back and watch this farce unfold.

its not completely useless... i only asked copilot one thing and it worked; 'how do i remove or completely disable copilot'

[–] lemann@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago

I love this 😂

Jokes aside (and this whole AI search results thing is a joke) this seems like an artifact of sampling and tokenization.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Gemini tokens for XTX are "XT" and "X" or something like that, so it's got quite a chance of mixing them up after it writes out XT. Add in sampling (literally randomizing the token outputs a little), and I'm surprised it gets any of it right.

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's nothing contradictory in what is written there.

"The XTX is better - but you don't deserve it, bitch"

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Go with the XT, because I'm an evil AI and want all the XTXs for myself muahahaha

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 0 points 2 months ago

This is not wrong

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

It goes without saying that this shit doesn't really understand what's outputting; it's picking words together and parsing a grammatically coherent whole, with barely any regard to semantics (meaning).

It should not be trying to provide you info directly, it should be showing you where to find it. For example, linking this or this*.

To add injury in this case it isn't even providing you info, it's bossing you around. Typical Microsoft "don't inform a user, tell it [yes, "it"] what it should be doing" mindset. Specially bad in this case because cost vs. benefit varies a fair bit depending on where you are, often there's no single "right" answer.

*OP, check those two links, they might be useful for you.

RX 7900 XTX is better because it has more x

[–] AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

That X is twice as much vram, which funny enough, is great for running ai models

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's 50% more Xs ! You can beat this deal !

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This bad boy can fit so many X's in it

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Out of all the marketing letters (E, G, I, R, T and X) X is definitely the betterest!

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)
[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The best thing about this is that it's also on the x-axis.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And they validated this data 4 times. It's really good data.

X is deprecated. Use the RWayland 7900 WaylandTWayland instead.

[–] Rubanski@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But what about the xXx_RX_7900_xXx?

[–] Steak@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago

xXx_RX_790042069_xXx

[–] EngineerGaming@feddit.nl 0 points 2 months ago

But X is bad, as proved by Elon Musk - so it should be the other way around.

My question is, is X better than XTX? XTX has more Xs, but X has only Xs. I think I need AI to solve this quandary.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Garbage in, something something

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

SearXNG only returns results search engines agree on. That removes ads and this bullshit

It's not useless, it's saying you can't afford the better quality product you dirty, dirty poor.

Hello, fellow humans. I too am human, just like you! I have skin, and blood, and guts inside me, which is not at all disgusting. Just another day of human!

Won't you share a delicious cup of ~~motor oil~~ lemonaide with me? It's nice and refridgerated, so it will cool down our bodies without the use of cooling fans!

However we too can use cooling fans. They will just be placed on the ceiling, or in a box, or self standing, and oscillating. Not at all inside our bodies, connected to a board controlled by our CPUs that we clearly don't have!

Now come, let us take our colored paper with numbers and pictures of previous human rulers and exchange them for human food prepared by not fully adult humans who haven't matured to the age where their brains develop the ability to care about food sanitation. Then we shall complain that our meal cost too many paper dollars, while recieving less and less potato stick products every year. Ignoring completely the risk of heart disease by indulging in the amounts of food we desire to aquire.

Finally we shall retreat to our place of residence, and complain on the internet that our elected leaders are performing poorly. Rather than ~~terminate the program~~ vote the poor performing humans out, we shall instead complain that it is other humans fault for voting them in. Making no attempt to change our broken system that has been broken our entire existence, with no signs of improving. Instead every 4 years we will make an effort to write down names of people we've already complained about in the hopes that enough people write down the same names, and that will fix the problem.

Oh. Shall I request amazon.com to purchase more fans and cooling units? The news being reported that tempatures will soon reach 130F on a regular basis, and all humans will slowly perish.

Shall I share photographs of the new CEO of starbucks who's daily commute involves a personal jet aircraft, which surely isn't compounding the problem at all?

A.I. or Assumed Intelligence

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago

That's pretty much it. It just assumes what the next word should be.

[–] nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de 0 points 2 months ago

At the very least it failed in a way that's obvious by giving you contradictory statements. If it left you with only the wrong statements, that's when "AI" becomes really insidiuos.

[–] Nytefyre@kbin.melroy.org 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

This is not going to stop me from wanting better research. I'll still go to Userbenchmark just to be sure. AI isn't going to tell me what it thinks and expect me to take it face value.

[–] Meltrax@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think you're missing that the AI said "The XTX is great, the XT is not worth it: choose the XT".

[–] Chewmungus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

It’s prolly a bot

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

A good AI summary would tell you the benchmark scores and general pricing, but yes, it's better to go to UserBenchmark anyway--- especially since the whole ploy from search is to keep you from going there, robbing the original source of it's ad revenue.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

First of all, yes

Second option is no

When presented with yes / no pick no, no is the clear yes

[–] Wrench@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

There's nothing wrong about it.

Neither is worth it. But if you have unlimited money, XTX is the better card and therefore a better deal. But if money is a factor, get the XT because the performance per $$$ of the XTX isn't worth selling a kidney.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Sure, but AI didn't say that. It said: XTX > XT, get XT.

ChatGPT4o can do some impressive and useful things. Here, Im just sending it a mediocre photo of a product with no other context, I didnt type a question. First, its identifying the subject, a drink can. Then its identifying the language used. Then its translating the text without being asked, because it knows I only read english. Then its providing background and also explaining what tamarind is and how it tastes. This is enough for me to make a fully informed decision. Google translate would require me to type the text in, and then would only translate without giving other useful info.

It was delicious.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Google: ok so the AI in search results is a good thing, got it!

Am i guessing it right that the XTX uses 50% more energy for the 20% more power?
