A few months ago, someone asked Google for countries that start with an H. In German.

It listed Hungary, which is called “Ungarn” in German. OK, an understandable mistake. But then it gave the additional information that Hungary sometimes gets called Holland.

Two things upset me:

1. People believe the answers.
2. Nobody is talking about all the stupid mistakes AI is making. It should have all stopped after LLM AIs thought blueberry has 3 Bs in it.

Does this include thinking abuse and suicide are funny? (Relates to another thread in this community.)

Reading all the other comments made me realize that Lemmy may have the same age structure as the other site.

It’s sad that the young people here all forgot Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five. 😢

Make a new account on Reddit, and you soon learn that votes (and therefore karma points) do matter. Even the karma in one subreddit can be relevant, so older accounts joining subreddits need to be careful not to annoy the local establishment.

They matter in the original intention of votes: visibility.

Votes get used to sort content.

All you people who were hating on racists on Twitter, you were hating on foreigners!! 🙃

Damn. It’s probably number of new users.

Sounds like a bug. 24 users don’t write 1269 posts and 1867 comments.

Oh, yes. The day after the “Glitter” soundtrack was released.

Discouraging users from reporting content could potentially be against the Apple App Store guide. I don’t understand why Reddit is doing that.
