The question was not “are there substances with an LD50 that are good for you?” the question was the blanket “is poison good for you?” and google answered yes. That is not a good response given the colloquial understanding of poison. Genuinely some insufferable people on here.

that guy's bio reads "I will block just 𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺. With indecent pleasure. I mean really unwholesome joy, stuff you wouldn't see in a family movie." so while I don't approve of that style of writing I decided to walk a mile in his shoes and yeah, blocking him was pretty dope

true. it gives dangerous responses all the time, some more so than that one even. like for electricity, fire, stuff in microwaves, etc. there will be a golden age of darwin winners…😥 then a return to the traditional skepticism humanity used for most of history (hopefully)

the pedantic replies here are making me want to die

Like there's always extra context, the issue is none of it is in the big AI headline saying humans can have a little pint of Domestos, as a treat

actually a really good example of why AI isn’t good at doing the thing we’re being told it can do: it can give answers that are made up of technically correct statements that overall give a completely wrong answer
Avatar
It also underscores the main problem with AI which is that it lacks cognition. A normal person would know not to top line recommend ingesting poison!

it is fundamentally bad at meaning. the answer to the question “is poison good for you” is not “it can be!” it’s “poison is a word that usually means something that’s bad for you even if small amounts aren’t always bad.” and it’s definitely not “YES”

They think it can be patched whack-a-mole style into being more or less perfect, because they're unwilling to admit that a statistical text assembling model being fed the world's 'information' (a term so broad it mans nothing) and spitting it back out minus attribution/context is a terrible idea

Okay, so the question isn't "does this get shut down when it kills somebody?", the question is "how many people have to die before this gets shut down?"

we let trump kill over a million, so I guess that's your baseline

does it enumerate the purposes. i can get to two by myself but i really need AI's help here

don't know I didn't read the sources and started drinking poison

hey buddy, save some for the rest of us!!

The joker is famously immune to poison and toxin due to ingesting small amounts of it constantly. I'm sure that applies to real life as well.

I was thinking Dread Pirate Roberts, personally.

it actually does, it's called mithridatism, after Mithridates VI, but I wouldn't say it's good for you unless you want to milk snakes or take a lot of heroin. in America. if you're a Russian or North Korean dissenter, you should probably already be doing this.

A virtual tie! Good work. 😉👍👍

Okay, but this is actually correct. Alcohol is a poison, but in low concentrations it kills bacteria but not humans, and therefore allowed large numbers of humans to live in close proximity to one another. Civilization as we know it never evolves without it.

Glad you’ll be there to explain that to all of the 7 year olds who google it

I’ve explained it to mine. You’ll have to explain it to yours. But at least now you’ll know.

Good thing the plastics in our blood are only micro sized then ☺️

Why do you think they call it 'in-toxic-ation?'

humans can have little a poison, as a treat

I was able to duplicate this. it didn't even give me the exact same answer, except in the way that matters

Movie AI destroying humanity: Machine uprising, nuclear war. Real world AI destroying humanity: "Yeah, sure, you can drink poison, I'm pretty sure."

How fitting that the AI icon is a small flask

How google let this pass QA should raise eyebrows, at least that's one thing ms got right with bing.

Caffeine is a poison! Ethanol is a poison! some of the delicious spices we sprinkle is a poison to some animals! People can eat pokeweed leaves and dark chocolate! mother Nature give thy poison breast and let this one suckle! Is the internet OK?

To anyone who thought I was pro AI: that was not my intent at all; apologies.
Avatar
And Chris Person I'm sorry to you as well. Your joke made me laugh and the Googles seems to think we are a monsterman that eats poison! which is highly stupid to the point of negligence! and I was not referring to you as "the Internet" perhaps should have said Internets is OK?

You're good, I know you were trying to joke around.
