Especially hilarious given how many times Tom Hanks has worked with Spielberg, neither of his wins were for them.

My brain ... hurts!

I worded it differently and got a different answer.

At least AI models don’t cost much

Neither does asking a random passerby on the street to answer your research question, but what's the point of the answer being free if it's wrong?

revcasaubon.bsky.social•19 hours ago

AI has been exorbitantly expensive. (Like bitcoin, it has cost so much but is, so far, worthless or worse.) My comment was sarcastic

Ah got it--I thought you were referring to tools like ChatGPT being free for the user. Response revoked!

revcasaubon.bsky.social•18 hours ago

But there probably are lots of people who would make the argument you thought I made. Response reserved!

truly very funny for them to put AI at the top of the most used search tool of all time and then expect people, even normies, not to notice it was shit

I mean, the premise behind most newspaper columns and opinion pages is that people prefer confident wrongness, and I’m not confident they’re wrong.

An IMDB geek would probably be faster and of course, more accurate.

By the way, make sure you thumbs-up these kinds of results!

Time to make Mojeek a verb.

It's an easy mistake when you remember Tom Hanks was in THE TERMINAL and Holly Hunter was in TINTIN

thehighsign.bsky.social•1 day ago

Google AI was just playing Six Degrees of Steven Spielberg with its dumb search-engine friends.

fsherman.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Wrong! Holly Hunter was the star of Tin Men and Tom Hanks was in Terminator II! I am not a crackpot or an AI so I must be right!
