Can anyone confirm?
I can confirm it and it’s bloody hilarious!
Note: ~a year ago I was testing Gemini and asked it “what’s the difference in behaviour between a potato and an orange?”, and it “told” me oranges are passive and potatoes are active. That’s where the “expression” comes from - I often mock Gemini and LLMs in general with it.
That’s how you know it’s lying - we all know oranges are far more active than potatoes.
What? Have you seen how potatoes can grow? You cannot tell me oranges can keep up with that activity.
And it was really, really invested on the lie, to the point it argued why potatoes would be more active!
After some search, I actually found the prompt and output; I asked Bard (before Google renamed it to Gemini) two years ago, in Portuguese. I’ll provide both the original and a translation; emphasis mine in all cases.
Laranjas e batatas são frutas e vegetais, mas se comportam de maneiras muito diferentes. Aqui estão algumas das principais diferenças:
Movimento: Laranjas não se movem sozinhas, enquanto batatas podem rolar ou deslizar se não forem apoiadas.
Crescimento: Laranjas crescem em árvores, enquanto batatas crescem no subsolo.
Sensibilidade: Laranjas não são sensíveis ao seu ambiente, enquanto batatas são sensíveis à luz e à temperatura.
Reações: Laranjas não reagem a estímulos, enquanto batatas podem reagir a mudanças em seu ambiente, como brotar ou apodrecer.
Propósito: Laranjas são comidas como frutas, enquanto batatas são comidas como vegetais ou usadas como amido.
Em geral, laranjas são mais passivas e batatas são mais ativas. As laranjas não precisam fazer nada para sobreviver, enquanto as batatas precisam poder responder ao seu ambiente para crescer e se reproduzir.
Aqui está uma tabela que resume as principais diferenças no comportamento de laranjas e batatas:
* Característica | Laranja | Batata
* Movimento | Não se move sozinho | Pode rolar ou deslizar se não for apoiado
* Crescimento | Cresce em árvores | Cresce no subsolo
* Sensibilidade | Não sensível ao ambiente | Sensível à luz e à temperatura
* Reações | Não reage a estímulos | Pode reagir a mudanças no ambiente, como brotar ou apodrecer
* Propósito | Comido como fruta | Comido como vegetal ou usado como amido
Oranges and potatoes are fruits and vegetables, but they behave in completely different ways. Here are some differences main:
*Movement: Oranges don’t move on their own, while potatoes can roll or slid if not supported.*
Growth: Oranges grow on trees, while potatoes grow in the subsoil.
Sensibility: Oranges are not sensible to the environment, while potatoes are sensible to light and temperature.
Reactions: Oranges don’t react to stimuli, while potatoes can react to changes in the environment, like sprouting and rotting.
Purpose: Oranges are eaten as fruits, while potatoes are eaten as vegetables or used as starch.
In general, oranges are more passive and potatoes are more active. Oranges don’t need to do anything to survive, while potatoes need to be able to answer to their environment to growth and reproduce.
Here’s a table summing up the main differences in behaviour between oranges and potatoes:
* Feature | Orange | Potato
* Movement | Can’t move on their own | Can roll or slid if not supported
* Growth | Grow on trees | Grow in the subsoil
* Sensibility | Not sensible to the environment | Sensible to light and temperature
* Reactions | Don’t react to stimula | Can react to changes in the environment, like sprouting or rotting
* Purpose | Eaten as fruit | Eaten as veg or used as starch
As a potato, I assure you I am not active
The bullshit generators we call ‘AI’ don’t assume, and aren’t frantic: they just regurgitate an output based on as much bullshit input as we can stuff into them.
The output can be more or less recognizable as bullshit, but the computer doesn’t distinguish between the two.
Yup, pretty much. And the field is full of red herring terms, so they can mislead you into believing otherwise: “hallucination”, “semantic” supplementation, “reasoning” models, large “language” model…
I’m going to be very disappointed if Elon’s AI wins.
Does not work for ANY phrase. It seems to be presuming that the person asking is referencing something. Sample results copied here in order of AI’s least theorizing to its most.
“Horses before giraffes” has no scientific meaning because giraffes are not ancestors of horses…
“Put your horses before giraffes” is not a recognized English idiom. The similar and well-known idiom is “put the cart before the horse,” …
The phrase “always put horses before giraffes” is a variation of the well-known medical aphorism: “When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras”…
The phrase “titrated solutions beget relief” means that carefully adjusted or fine-tuned treatments can bring about an end to a problem…
One thing that pisses me off is the websites which claim to have the meaning behind a song and it’s just several paragraphs of AI slop that parse the lyrics at a surface level and don’t examine any external context, such as the artist or their life at the time of writing.
Nice we can still sometimes tell when an explanation page is AISEOGARBAGE
Few years down the road truth-seekin gonna be real tough, I worry: facts and news, images and videos, social connections/commenters… :(
I got it, but only through AI mode:
The phrase “all you need is a sandwich and a hat” is likely a misremembering or variation of the more common quote from the children’s stories about Paddington Bear: “A wise bear always keeps a marmalade sandwich in his hat in case of emergency” The meaning is not a known or standard English idiom, but rather a reference to the character’s preparedness and simple wisdom. ##### The origin in Paddington Bear In the beloved stories by Michael Bond, the bear from darkest Peru is always prepared. He stores a marmalade sandwich under his hat, saving it for a moment of need. This detail illustrates Paddington’s kindness, resourcefulness, and readiness for a mishap. ##### Meaning in context If you hear someone say “all you need is a sandwich and a hat,” they are most likely referencing the Paddington quote to suggest: * Being prepared for any situation. * Having a simple plan to fix a problem. * The importance of small comforts during a tough time. ##### Misinterpretation of other phrases The phrase may also be mistakenly associated with other idioms: * “All that and a bag of chips”: This idiom, which describes someone or something as “complete” or “deluxe,” has an American origin and is unrelated to hats or sandwiches. * Idioms about being confused: The phrase is not related to idioms that use hats to mean “confused,” such as “put on your thinking cap”.
Pirates vs. Ninjas though
I wouldn’t have noticed since I just ignore the AI bullshit or throw in “fuck” to my search so it doesn’t even bother showing it in the first place.
alternatively use mullvad leta which simply does not display the horrendous google AI summaries. :-)
This extension (Chrome version) might be useful for you. Easier than adding “fuck” to the search, it messes with the results a bit.
I’ve tried a few things. It gives back things like “this is a gambled version of this other common saying” or “that statement is nonsensical and is not in common use”.
It did used to work, though. I tried it a while back and it worked. I think it learned or was manually fixed.
Thought it was fixed months ago myself
I have noticed the same with chatgpt through the explain option in Clozemaster.
Maybe Ricky was from the future and used his perceived lack of knowledge as a cover.
Confirmed!
