  • well, i just tried it, and its answer is meh –

    i asked it to transcribe “zenquistificationed” (made up word) in IPA, it gave me /ˌzɛŋˌkwɪstɪfɪˈkeɪʃənd/, which i agree with, that’s likely how a native english speaker would read that word.

    i then asked it to transcribe that into japaense katakana, it gave me “ゼンクィスティフィカションエッド” (zenkwisuthifikashon’eddo), which is not a great transcription at all - based on its earlier IPA transcription, カション (kashon’) should be ケーシュン (kēshun’), and the エッド (eddo) part at the end should just, not be there imo, or be shortened to just ド (do)


  • it is absolutely capable to come up with it’s own logical stuff

    interesting, in my experience, it’s only been good at repeating things, and failing on unexpected inputs - it’s able to answer pretty accurately if a small number is even or odd, but not if it’s a large number, which indicates it’s not reasoning but parroting answers to me

    do you have example prompts where it showed clear logical reasoning?









  • where do you live where stuff’s so expensive? genuine question, because honestly, i’ve never seen such pricing here

    most of the stuff i get from amazon (which is, to be fair, not much and mostly non-food/perishables) has free shipping (without prime) to amazon lockers or to your house if you have a >25€ (or maybe >40€ now…?) order

    also, may be biased because i live in france, but like, a loaf of bread is at most 3€ here, even in the most remote villages, you’ll likely not have for more than 1.30€ for a baguette



  • and when they’re caught, they’ll dispute the claims with regulators, like every company does all the time.

    i remember digging a bit into the french data protection office v. discord a while back, when they got hit with sanctions for not respecting gdpr, and they disputed every single claim, sometimes arguing in real bad faith, like them claiming they handle very little private user data, so they don’t need to do data protection analysies like the law says.

    considering google’s sheer empire on data, i imagine they play the same tricks, but like 1000× worse
