    The argument of “just watch subs” falls flat when they’re using AI to do soulless subtitling too.

    Jesus fuck I hate AI so much. The other day Google AI literally gaslit me. I remembered a joke I had heard in a movie but couldn’t remember the movie title. Google used to be really good at this kinda thing so I Googled it. The results were wrong and the AI was like “It’s Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates”.

    Now, I’ve never seen Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates so I knew that couldn’t be the movie so I told it “no that’s not it”. And what did the AI do? Did it say “oh, well then maybe it’s this?” Did it say it didn’t know? No, it doubled down insisting it MUST be Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates.

    I COMMANDED it to stop suggesting it was Mike and Dave because it was definitely not it and it STILL kept saying that was the movie.

    So I asked ChatGPT. Yeah, I know it’s another AI but I was at my wits end here and Google was undeniably wrong. Anyway, ChatGPT figured it out instantly.

    So I went back to Google and was like, “ChatGPT figured it out. It was ‘The Art of Racing in the Rain’ you stupid AI.”

    Rather than admit it was wrong, Google then gaslit me saying I was misremembering the movie and that it was Mike and Dave Nerd Wedding Dates.

    I was furious so I told Google to prove it to me. Then it got all vague like, “well, I searched my database and web records.” I asked for the specific records. It gives me a link to the movie script for Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates on some website. I do a simple word search and do not find the joke anywhere in the script. Nothing even remotely close.

    When I point this out to Google it was like" well, maybe it was adlibbed or not in that early version if the script, but it’s in discussions of the movie so I know I’m right."

    “Show me these discussions”

    “Sorry, there are no discussions”

    “So you hallucinated the whole thing and completely made it up?”

    “Yes”

    Fuck you, Google.

      At any point in time did you ever consider doing a non-AI search? The sheer fact you say you hate AI… yet you continue to use it is a problem in and of itself.

        The results were wrong

        Yes… maybe I should have emphasized that the SEARCH results were wrong. And have you used Google lately? It forces the AI on you. You can’t turn that shit off. At least not easily.

        But yeah, apparently if I had asked Bing it seems that it would have gotten it. Who would’ve thought that Bing would now be better than Google? But even Bing forces Copilot on you.

        So please, oh master of internet searching, what search engine doesn’t force AI on you? I guess I could pretend it’s 1999 and use Lycos…

          Dude, ever hear of Duck Duck Go? It’s a more privacy focused search engine that you can turn off any AI summaries with one click. It uses Bings DB but its own interface.

            Oh snaps, I forgot that existed, mostly because it used to suck. But if Bing’s better than Google now…

            I’m glad I asked and sorry for being such an ass. Well, mostly sorry ;)

      You know 15 years ago it was common pastime to see how quickly we could trick Cleverbot into admitting it was a chat bot and not actually intelligent. Now we have chat bots competing with us to prove that we must not be intelligent.

      And they’re winning.

      While not quite as long a thing I have had the ai do this. Maybe you are misremembering and its just that it could not find it.
