The Rules

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

That anyone would ask language models to analyze circumstances, perform logic and reason or conjure an application of knowledge and skill is kind of their own fault.

It is a language model, it excels at rephrasing given ideas.

If you put nuke buttons under a flock of pigeons or toddlers just to see what happens, they might launch. It's not much of a study.
