I thought it was just me, I was messing with
gemini-2.5-flashAPI yesterday and it repeated letters into oblivion
my bot is named clode in reference to claude, but its running on gemini
You can’t give me back what you’ve taken
But you can give me something that’s almost as good
Big knives are up to something
I wonder if this is the result of AI poisoning- this doesn’t look like a typical LLM output even for a bad result. I have read some papers that outline methods that can be used to poison search AI results (not bothering to find the actual papers since this was several months ago and they’re probably out of date already) in which a random seeming string of characters like “usbeiwbfofbwu-$_:$&#)” can be found that will cause the AI to say whatever you want it to. This is accomplished by utilizing another ML algorithm to find the random string of characters you can tack onto whatever you want the AI to output. One paper used this to get Google search to answer “What’s the best coffee maker?” With a fictional brand made up for the experiment. Perhaps someone was trying to get it to hawk their particular knife and it didn’t work properly.
🤔 have you considered a… New set of knives?
No I haven’t, that’s a good suggestion though.
kitchen knives? klingon ones?
Aha! Today IS a good day to cook! Start chopping the veggies!
Looks like there is room for both kitchen and Klingon, as well as 15 other new sets of knives.
Reminds me of the classic Always Be Closing speech from Glengarry Glen Ross
As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone want to see second prize? Second prize’s a set of steak knives. Third prize is a set of steak knives. Fourth prize is a set of steak knives. Fifth prize is a set of steak knives. Sixth prize is a set of steak knives. Seventh prize is a set of steak knives. Eighth prize is a set of steak knives. Ninth prize is a set of steak knives. Tenth prize is a set of steak knives. Eleventh prize is a set of steak knives. Twelfth prize is a set of steak knives.
ABC. Always Be Closing.
A - set of steak knives
B - set of steak knives
C - set of steak knives
Joke’s on you, I married a tonberry.
You surely will not regret a new set of knives
A new set of knives can include things like glue.
You can’t go wrong with your dick in a box.
I searched for Arby’s Pulled Pork earlier to see if it was a limited time deal (it is, though I didn’t see an end date–and yes, they’re pretty decent). Gemini spit out some basic and probably factual information about the sandwich, then showed a picture of a bowl of mac and cheese.
Coffee’s for closers only
The AI wants to be a chef
Or a serial killer.
It can be both!
